On 16 November 2022 I ordered two items from Amazon that I couldn’t buy from Aotearoa New Zealand (out of stock or wrong size / colour or just not available here). Amazon told me the items would deliver on 06 December. Today (23 November) they arrived. 😀
Clifford Beshers Some piece of software had to assume it would come by boat, I think.
Miraz Jordan @cliffordbeshers Oh no. By boat would be months! (I'm not actually kidding.) I presume it was making allowances for delays at each stage.
Clifford Beshers Yes, I wonderedd about that later. Is there no market for a small container ship from Sydney to Aukland to carry bulk stuff that needs medium priority? Hard to guess at the viability of that.
Miraz Jordan @ReaderJohn In shipping they were excellent. Now, if only the right earbud would actually function. To be returned.
