You know those UPS guys.........and don't forget about Customs.

and there are holidays coming up.

Let's hope you get it before the end of the month, maybe 1st week of Nov.

Good luck!

Alex

I hope so to Alex! I have heard that it might get here by Friday or Monday, and hopefully it will go through Customs pretty fast. What holidays are coming up??

Mike

Well, I work for the USPS in California.

The volume of overseas mail will start going up now.

The big push is with surface/boat mail.

The bottleneck comes with customs...............

Thanks for the info Alex. Its in Louisville, Kentucky at the moment according to UPS's tracking system. I guess they have a flight from there to LAX and then direct to Sydney. Hope it gets here by Friday!

Mike

AHHH. For some reason it has ended up in Anchorage, Alaska at the moment!! They better get it heading back in the right direction!lol I dont know why it went up that way??

I don't want to come off as being mean...............But​!

LOLOLOLOLOL

That only comes from me being part of the competition

I hope you get it soon, maybe it's AK where it catches "another" flight to head down under............

Did you guys hear that UPS and Fed Ex are merging?

They are going to call it "FedUp"

LOL, Alex. I thought it was pretty funny too. It took a flight from Anchorage to Hong Kong, so its in Hong Kong now. About 8hr flight away from Perth, which is the nearest International airport, 2 hrs away from me driving. Might get here tomorrow!!

The one thing that worries me is the the only flight UPS has out of Hong Kong is back to Anchorage!! I guess it will go on another freighter, I hope so anyway!:P

Mike

YEAHHH!! Its just left Hong Kong on a flight to Singapore. I know this because i am an aviation enthusiast and I have been closel;y watching UPS's flights! Might get it Friday, if it clears custome in time!!

Hi Sinkrate, has your order showed up yet??

Nah, its sitting in Singapore at the moment, hope it gets on a flight to Perth today (which is only a 5hr flight), and then here Friday (2.5hr drive from Perth).

Mike

I hang out over at dcresource forum... I just ordered the 70-200 f/2.8 non-is with the 580ex and a batt. grip. it took forever for me to make up my mind on what I really wanted/needed. it should be here tomorrow (thur) all this should make my 20D feel about 5 times the weight.

Hey Mike...............

I think it's friday your time..............I hope you got your lens.

I went to the airport/UPS hub to intercept my package.

I went during my lunch to get my 70-200 IS in my hands.

I didn't even care if I was going to be late from lunch.

I just got an expocap today..........can't wait to see if this thing really works!

Good Luck!

Alex

NewTek- Weren't you the guy that missed out on that one day sale

My 70-200IS just arrived today and I can't wait to start taking some shots with it tomorrow.

Alex

It is Thursday afternoon here. It has been sitting in Singapore for about 20hrs now. I am wondering how UPS is going to get it to Perth, they dont have any flights to Perth. Maybe they'll send it on a passenger flight or on anouther cargo carrier.
