FedEx and postal services are the same world-wide, it would seem. I
ordered a new ADSL+/VoIP router from Perth, the other side of Australia.
The item was actually stocked in Sydney, 1400km away. The stockist sent
it FedEx one day after I ordered it, FedEx "attempted" to deliver two days
later, but reported a "failure" (even though my wife and I were both home,
waiting for the delivery), then left it at our local Australia Post
office, who failed to notify me it was there, as they are required to, and
normally, do. The original supplier, when I asked for progress
information, gave me the wrong tracking reference, so I'm tracking the
wrong equipment: three weeks after ordering, I got back to the outfit I'd
ordered it from, they gave me the correct tracking reference and the whole
sorry saga is revealed! Twenty minutes after finding out where it
actually is, I have it in my hot little hands.
Conclusion - shop locally!
I'm always a little aghast at the amount of trouble people will put
themselves through to save a few dollars.
