The EEVblog BM786 test meter that I ordered on the 6th Jan 21 arrived today at o9.28 the 11th Jan 21. From Aus to UK in what amounts to slightly less than 5 days seeing as how I ordered the meter quite late UK time and it arrives AM UK time.
Thank you dave for excellent service and such fast dispatch and delivery, very much appreciated.
That's impressive, was that via a private company such as Fedex/UPS/... or via postal services?
I've found that postal services have become absolutely ATROCIOUS for a few weeks now.
I use DHL express exclusively for all overseas sales now. I got them down on price until there wasn't a huge difference between DHL eCommerce and Express. eCommerce is still cheaper but it gets handed off to the local countries postal service for the last leg (and looses tracking at that point), and I was getting too many delays and missing packages.
Even DHL admitted that the eCommerce system wasn't great and they don't recommended it.
I'm actually considered a big DHL customer, as most companies do not send 95% of their stuff express courier overseas like I do.
I also use the DHL electronic invoice system which is supposed to speed things up.
Gave up on Australia Post as eCommerce was better at the time.
Only things I still send Australia posts are fuses and uSleeve's that can go letter post.
