SPEEDY AIRMAIL

[Ross]

I recently mention Chinese mail a few post back.....
Received THE  package this afternoon.  delivered by Parcelforce.
Left Hong Kong 2nd Jan according to Honkers Post office tracking............ amazing.

It';s funny the way that works. I';ve had stuff from rctimer take over 3 weeks before - and once something turned up from them in 4 days.

I reckon it';s bulk shipping, fill a container to UK type activity.

If you hit the start of the fill it';s slow, catch the end and it';s nifty, guess I was at the start then as it took 4 weeks for mine to arrive  :huh

Actually the Chinese post office is quite smart..
I think the problem is the free postage you can get goes the slowest route possible.
  If you pay higher postage it goes quicker.....and how many modellers pay higher postage when buying el cheapo goods anyway (which is the reason they shop China in the first place...)?
