The other side of the coin is that its now possible to order many items from Amazon U.S., prices are good, quality very good, shipping is prompt and delivery unbelievably fast.
We have ordered and received a number of smaller, lower priced objects over the past week or so, all have shipped within hours of placing the order and have arrived on our doorstep within a few short days of ordering, they beat most Australian suppliers on a break when it comes to shipping and delivery.
Which brings me to tracking, they certainly have that nailed as well, as the following cut and paste shows.
Asked the driver if he was seeing much coming through from Amazon, US, told me he was being deluged with packages.
