To save us the trouble of having to lug her laptop all the way down here, Amanda sent her laptop to her parent’s house here via FedEx (the “express super-fast” service of course).
It’s now 2 weeks later. The package is at Adelaide Airport, but they won’t release it. It got caught up in customs on the way here, and then they wouldn’t release it because they thought it was being sent to someone down here to keep, and you need to pay duties & declare things like that. So it took quite a bit of work (and some last minute filling of forms & faxing things around) to get past that stage. So at this point, it should be OK to release – but of course it’s the weekend and they won’t deliver it to us now. So maybe on Monday it’ll get here. Maybe.
Normal shipping time for this service is less than a week – usually 4-5 days. (They literally just pack the shipment onto a plane and get it going; it takes about as long as it does for a person to get down here.) We’re now moving past 2 weeks.
You do the math.
