Sorry Cant, if you were in US it would might have taken longer, but I believe you would have gotten it.

Did you talk to them ?

Yeah, Amazon has been good, but the freight company is going to need some special “TLC” it seems... -Tomorrows problem, but it is the weekend now too..

There is a lot more to international shipping than domestic shipping and most of it is completely out of the seller's hands. An item can get shuffled around or held up in customs for days or weeks.

 

Also keep in mind that the entire world is freaking out right now so I wouldn't get too worried about a late shipment.

Arrived broken? Take a photo...or not. They’ll take it back. Return process is easy.

It got to Aust quick, -cleared customs on 21 feb... The downside of not living in the city I guess..

The freight company had to Email me, as per Amazons request, but thus far they are stalling with standard platitudes, -not a date..

Can get a refund, -even got a bonus credit of $10.. lol

-but whats the point of cancelling if its only a few days away..

 

Kids had this problem here too...

Who lived in Australia for awhile that was on bb?  I know it was a woman, but I can't remember who.

It was Smiff. Maybe another, too, but Smiff was one of my buddies. Oh, well, there was Diaz-Pam also. Maybe Fliprain too. I think Flip is still around.

cant, I order lots of stuff from Amazon (I'm lazy). Some pretty esoteric things, too. Some of them aren't quite right, so I send them back. I've never  had A not take sthg back. As for fake reviews, yeah, maybe. Sellers usually ask buyers to leave a review. You can always ask a question if you want more info -- specifically of the purchasers/reviewers. I've had plenty of ppl ask me questions about things I've purchased (does it cool a whole room? how long is the cord? did your cat like it? did the small really fit you?)

 

If it were me, I've give it a go, mate!! You can always send it back. Amazon requires its sellers to take stuff back (I used to be one such, ahem).

 

Hope this helps,

:thumbsup:  some things aren't returnable from 3rd party but it has  to make it clear.

So read all info just incase.  I got stuck with a couple things because I didn't read everything. 

Impulse buying is generally done quickly

lol, -In good conscience im sure...

Its probably not too much of a guess to know that I suspected it might not go so well.. Its more a freight thing than actual Amazon.. I still valued and appreciated everyones thoughts...

 

Im still attempting to put some pressure on the freight company via Amazon, but only time will tell..

Ill probs just get the shits a d go buy a new ride-on, or lawn tractor as some call it.. -retail therapy.. lol

That's crazy, I don't get that at all.  I told you about TWD too late huh?  I use to know the difference in our times, but after a wave, I forgot. . I seem to loose a brain  cell or 2  . Let's hope I don't have too many more waves

International shipping is much different than domestic shipping. This likely has nothing to do with amazon or the individual seller. It's just part of selling abroad and having to deal with the package changing hands so many times and having to go through customs.

 

When you order something from another country this is just par for the course. You do have the "risk" of the package being delayed or never showing up but you aren't any less "safe" when you order through venues like ebay or amazon because they will make it right in the event that there is an issue.

[[ga...]]

I'm sorry you didn't get your tractor part, Cant. I've had things disappear when shipped internationally, too. Once something was marked delivered but I didn't get it. I got a refund. And then weeks later the thing showed up on my doorstep. No idea where it was in the meantime.

Not uncommon at all with international shipping.

So, technophobe that I am, Im entering new territory here..

 

From Australia, im looking for an Electric PTO clutch for a ride-on mower, -not that that is important beyond that it has to be somewhat specific to the American brand mower, or similar by part number... I have found a few on Amazon where the numbers match, and very much cheaper despite the freight... If it doesnt fit, returns seem to be a problem (electrical item), so Im wondering how accurate these things are.. The picture looks the same..

There are very few reviews, and how trustworthy are the reviews in general.. Are they filtered at all..??

Any suggestions as to how to go about this are also welcome, and no blame if it all goes bad.. lol

Everything seems about half price or less online, despite the freight.. -is that to be expected in general..??

My kids say dont do it, I could get anything, or nothing.. I probs taught them to be paranoid though... lol

 

I get a lot of dirt bike parts from the states, but thats direct with the stores website... Its been fantastic...

 

Thanks Guys..
