Finally received my long-awaited order from the Pureman sale, and was sad to hear that it was indeed a closing sale. Tough times. This was some much needed retail therapy.
Still awaiting 1000 Super Iridium's from Morocco and am particularly keen to receive something cool from the Isle of Man...

I share your pain as my Wizamets have yet to arrive.Finally received my long-awaited order from the Pureman sale, and was sad to hear that it was indeed a closing sale. Tough times. This was some much needed retail therapy.

Lady at the post office said that everything international is getting stuck in the customs bottleneck, then in the Auspost bottleneck and that she wouldn't expect anything to come from overseas in less than four weeks. Items coming to Melbourne are apparently sitting in big boxes in Sydney waiting for staff capacity after getting scanned into the country. Also unfortunate for people in VIC is that International Signed mail (which is both of mine) isn't actually getting signed for (due to covid), doesn't have Auspost tracking and can't be re-directed for pickup at the post office. So there's no way to know if it's coming / arrived / been stolen / never was delivered.
Not much to do but wait and check the mail box four times a day. On the plus side, that's a valuable amusement because we can't leave the house except for groceries or a bit of exercise. Small mercies?

Thanks for the clarification as I expect my order to be stuck as it was allegedly sent 2 weeks ago despite the original order being made 17/07 and the first lot of blades received...?

Really? Go on and tell us how you really feel?
Do you mind stop starring at my bare nutsReally? Go on and tell us how you really feel?
Customs are processing as per normal. Items that are flagged and items over $1000 are the only items Customs normally process. Border force are the actual organisation that do the initial checking of parcels. When an item says "awaiting clearance ", it's actually with Border force. There are also no hold-ups with Border force. The issue is Australia post. The rest of the information you were told is fairly accurate.
Blaming China might be a misdirection, since AusPost seem to have made their very own balls-up of the situation. Ironically, post from China has been coming through comparatively quickly.

Agree, it appears North America is settling down as well. The US internal processing and postage routes although wierd at times appears to be moving.
Interesting watching a few more European nations postal Carriers adding Australia to the do not ship list. I believe the complaints about missing and excessively late international parcles that arrived in Australia is a big facilitator in the decision making.

... had his first - 15/8/20
Pic heavy mailday but this is stunning. Very happy with this eBay pickup and snatch it before someone else did.
A 1939 Gillette Popular OC in a 1934 travel case. @Mark1966 suspects this razor also came in this case too so may be true case for it. Original blue blades and shave stick. Looks barely used since the early 40's.
Basically a slim handle Gen 1 English Aristocrat and not very common. Has the weird floppy door design.

I also might add I purchased it Monday afternoon and it arrived normal parcel Post from NSW -VIC on Wednesday afternoon!
You got that quick, well done.
Now waits for @Gargravarr response
Oh, I'm done whining about AusPost for now.Now waits for @Gargravarr response
I'll go back to bitching about Asendia, who have my Vector from Maggards. Tracking started last Wednesday, still showing as "Enroute To Regional Processing Facility", so hasn't even got to first base. Maybe Christmas...
