I have 45 days to lodge a paypal dispute.
I will wait until tomorrow before I lodge a dispute.
Other than some 5 volt regs and fuse holders I can get every thing else over night locally and my local supplier is now price matching 95% of the components with same quality or better quality parts.
If my local supplier can't ship it overnight I am given a date when it will arrive (2 to 5 days, depending on what country it has to come from) and it arrives on the stated date like clock work.
I am just not happy that Great plains wont even make an enquire about the parcel. I was told by great plains to check with my local post office, when I asked aus post they told me that the sender needs to enquire with U.S. mail.
A few weeks ago I ordered a new de-soldering station from the UK. I paid $35 for the shipping (5kg) I ordered it on a Thursday and i arrived on the Monday. Now thats fast.
Since June I have gone through just over $1000 worth of electronic components so It's not worth while playing the waiting game.
As far as i am concerned the only time I will ever order something that has to be sent via U.S. mail is because I cant get it locally.
I have a business to run and i can't afford to play she loves me, she loves me not with a postal service.
