Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

I agree'

Mail to the UK at present is much much quicker than mail coming to Aus, which supports the theories that the issue is with Aus Post. And after my encounter yesterday, I can believe it!

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

Thats barely 4 weeks (sent 8/9/17), most mail at present from the UK is about 6 weeks. Don't consider it lost for at least another couple of months.

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

3 weeks is disgraceful, especially considering that for most of the time I've been here if something took a week it was considered slow. 3-4 days used to be quite nromal, thats why the current...

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

It wasn't for me, it was for a friend who is travelling and has been using my address. I don't have any dealings for which HMRC need to contact me. This was a one-off, I hope.
Personally, I can't...
