don't start me on how the shipping is so cheap to send from China to Australia. It would normally cost 5 times more to send the same item from Sydney to Canberra and take probably longer

it happens all the time on eBay and other platforms. It will tell you the items are located in Australia, normally Melbourne for some reason. It then quotes 2 or 3 day delivery times Australia wide. If you do some more digging you will see their company name risingsunxxx is based in China even though they have all of the Australian details. I have complained to eBay hundreds of times but they don't do anything because the sellers have tens of thousands of sales, some in the hundreds of thousands. They also operate several accounts under different names of the same products which are a breach of eBay's rules. They get around this by having some products advertised as the product price plus delivery, the other site will have a product price (which is more expensive) including delivery. If you add the first price together with the delivery you end up with the exact same price on the 2nd selling site. The whole system is absolutely corrupt and the only person who benefits is eBay or the other selling platform because no matter what happens they still get the commission and you have to wait months sometimes for products that were advertised as 2 or 3 day delivery. Buyer be aware!

Looks really nice ! Good Luck.

I never mentioned anything about the oil coming with the microphone, that was your erroneous conclusion. I was attempting to give you the reasons why the cost of getting your oil was (in your opinion) expensive, and that is because it had goods that must be shipped as DG (dangerous goods). There is no mystery to this, shipping costs a lot of money, if you want to save the shipping costs go and pick it up locally. NO Australian business can afford to spend one hour at the post office with the wages we pay our staff in Australia and not expect to be compensated unless you are selling a product with thousands of percent markup. It is you that are combining 2 separate conversations into one. I recently had you blocked for several months and it was actually pleasant. I think I will return to this because you just dribble garbage and talk nonsense. NOTE: this is not a personal attack it is just my opinion only based on my conversations with the author who regardless of what the subject is needs to have the last email in any thread. I on the other hand, have only been trying to provide the author for reasons why shipping is so expensive in Australia. The author won't listen and confuses everything that is getting said.

Let's look at the box of oil in question. Typically anything flammable/combustible needs to be shipped as dangerous goods this will incur a flat $60 charge with companies like team global express (what used to be told Ipec) This fee is payable before you even start to pay for the shipping. You are just living in fairyland with your $2 shipping expectations. It is nothing to do with questionable marketing practice by any particular business, it is due to the fact that in Australia we are captive to the courier market and the postal network. We get fees levies and surcharge added to shipping for any reason whatsoever. I am sure you could have picked up the items from the business for the same price if you didn't want to pay the delivery fee. With diesel at $3 per litre you would probably find you couldn't afford to do that either. Get with the program, when not living in the 1800's where the only cost was horse food!

how is a microphone in plastic wrap or a box going to fit in a 20mm thickness ? You also need insurance or signature on delivery if you are a REAL business. How much would YOU charge for an hour of your time and driving 6 kms to the post office usually in peak hour.

This is not free, it costs money for collection unless you are posting about $5K a week. You cant get anything thats not a letter posted for $2 ?

Not AI, voice to text on my phone without wearing glasses to really check what it wrote.

you try sending someone to the post office where they have to stand in a long line just to get served at the counter. We are 3 km from the post office but rarely can the trip be done in under one hour return. A typical staffer is getting $40 per hour. If they only have 1 or 2 parcels to post then you are doing it at a loss. There are great discounts through Australia Post. If you do around $20,000 a month (from memory) you will get a 5% discount. BIG DEAL. sorry but like fact onto said you are so unrealistic with the costs of doing business.

Still has a pilot onboard and he had to fly some sections of the trip

"I'm not really familiar with avionics or their parts or regulations. I acquired these by chance and would like to see them go to someone who could put them to good use. Cash or trade, make offer." This is gotta be a scam. He is talking about avionics, he is talking about floats, these are definitely skis for use on snow and nothing else. My scam radar is going off !!!!!

that's the Spruce Goose "hangar" in Long Beach California. The original aircraft left some time ago and now there is a replica. I do remember something about it being used for one of the Batman films

Aluminium is'nt magnetic, this will never work !

stay under the radar, away from people's attention and have a really fun time !

Great adventures. It really shows what it was like when people say "the good old days" unfortunately, it is never going to return to days like this again with our increased regulation.

great to see a little bit of activity and groups getting together. It has really been too quiet, for too long, and with fuel (diesel) passing $3 per litre today with unleaded not far behind it won't be long until the annual gatherings are the only flight we can afford to do in the year.

I was not trying to turn it into a joke just trying to find a happy excuse for the author. Obviously he was going through some distress so by trying to add just a little bit of humour may have been some relief. There was nothing more intended than this

We know that you've only become good because the Brisbane Lions have now made it into the grand final. 👼

Can't release the banner because of our function ? Draw an imaginary line between your eyes and your knees and that's where you will land.

WOW ! Didn't they have insurance ?
