Shipping Times ??
Spoke to Pickford's regarding our shipment & they said it will be loaded on to the ship 13.11.05 and will arrive at port in Aus on 22.12.05. This seems very quick to me is this normal ???

Re: Shipping Times ??
Be warned! The shipping time may be quick, but arriving at that time of year you will run into the Christmas shut-down for Customs. My stuff arrived Christmas week 2 years ago, and it took 6 weeks to go through Customs. Last year was no better apparently. Customs shut for Christmas and New Year, then a backlog builds up and may take time to clear. Cross your fingers and hope
