Thread: How long is the wait for a scope from USA

I payed using the bill payment thing in my internet banking, on the 21st of november
I would think that something would happen by now? tracking says it hasnt moved.

Is there a way that the customs can check if it is still in their possession? my tracking tells me It still hasnt moved.

aparently sometimes things can happen that payments dont get proporly connected with items which mean that Items even tho payed for dont get automatically released, rang NZ post this morning, "no we havent got a release notice yet" then rang customs "ok i see your payment and now have manually released it" so the gears are finally moving again.

frustrating.

Hope it gets to you soon mate.

I brought a Vortex Diamondback from TheOpticZone.com last month for $320NZD delivered (shops here selling for $450+) and it took 2 weeks to get to my door. which i thought was pretty good.

I think if the GST value of the item is more than $60 they will send you a bill otherwise you are GST free

The place called 'Delivered' is the sweetest.

As soon as it says in customs I jyst ring them and sort it on the phone. I have never waited for a letter in the mail just get them to email the invoice. They seem to like being slack until you ring and then the ball starts rolling very quickly

I definitly get that feeling, scope arrived on the 15th, letter was sent and dated the 19th.
surely it could be streamlined a lot more than that
