Default How long did it take for you furniture to get to you

after actually arriving in the country.

Ours arrived in Melbourne 12th January and we were told we'd be called when it was available to be delivered. They thought they'd be calling us early this week but haven't.

Just interested in the average length of time it takes. I'm so desperate to have my own bed back, have been sleeping on a sofa bed for the last month and my back is feeling it

Ours took 5-6 weeks after arriving in Sydney Other people that I've spoken to said that theirs took around 3 weeks so hopefully you're not too far away from getting it.

Ours arrived in Syndey on December 11th and was delivered on january 18th, so I think that's around 5 weeks! I would call the company and check its progress.

Know what you mean about wanting your own bed, we were on airbeds and sitting on camping chairs, so its great to get it when it finally arrives!

I think ours took so long because it was near Christmas too and they said that customs had a backlog before that which added to it. Hopefully they have sorted that now and yours will be winging its way to you soon.

Good luck!
