I've always found PCCG to be very fast, always been happy with delivery costs and times. Bit like TNT Express International, though it's a bit pricey, VERY fast.

I can't find Coopers Dark Ale anywhere.

gets to my office at work the next morning ;)

but back to auspost. ordered an instrument mic roughly 3 week ago for recording / stuff with my guitar amp. expected it here last week as you (coming from USA) but nothing showed up, no notice nothing. Got home for lunch to find they had issued an 'final notice' on my package. turns out it turned up on the 12th but they somehow 'misplaced' my arrival notice..

so I've spent the last week trying to track it down, only to have it sitting in the postal office down the road for the week.

Over Christmas the post office kept dropping off notices, and when I'd get to the post office, they could never locate the items. It was extremely frustrating and didn't just happen once, one package is still a mystery since they left a note but never found a package.

They also have a habit of dropping off second or third notices, without ever having left a first.

+1 PCCG love. Ordered some fans @ 6pm, had them delivered the next day. Saved me another day without my poota :P

Also you should be able to find Coopers at Dan Murphies :-s

Nearest Dan Murpheys is about 45 minutes drive away.. not really worth it for one beer :P I live in a botique wine region, with the local cellars wanting $35+ for their locally bottled wines you can buy at Dan Murphys for $19.. so they don't want one here.

I'm guessing you're not that close to the city centre of "thatplaceyouarefrom". Last time I was there (grandparents-in-law are buried there) I swear there was one nearby...

Looks like he's 70kms to Dubbo, lol. Well, according to the Dan Murphy Store Finder + his postcode.

Because, you know, I know everything about everyone.

Ever.

I live in Orange NSW, Dubbo is about 151km away, but the closest Dan Murpheys is Bathurst, about 40ish km away?
