Brisbane to Coventry, about a week, proceed through customs and onto Belfast mail centre, a further 5 days
and for the last 4 days my parcel has been sitting in the parcel force Belfast depot, waiting for them to write to me, asking me to pay a vat bill and service charge, before they will deliver.
For me to then have to fill in a customs declaration, to reclaim the vat and service charge that were never applicable to this purchase in the first place
So, give or take, 7 days to travel from Oz to the Uk, and 11 days to travel from the uk to the uk.
Bureaucracy and incompetence slows everything down
