Mail from Australia to Canada

[jjjwar]

  I have an item that was sent to me by Economy letter airmail from Australia to Canada and it has not arrived yet. It has been 22 days since it was shipped. Does anyone have an idea how long airmail from Australia to Canada takes. The Australian postal web site says 11 days to my postal code. I have never bought anything from Australia before so I do not know if that is correct.

Interesting enough First Class International from the USA is called International Inbound Express by Canada Post. Once it arrives in Canada and is processed by Canada Customs and handed back to Canada Post it becomes Express Post in most cases. ...

Different service, depending how First Class International is bought from USPS, it can also include Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation service for selected countries (Canada is one).

AusPost's International Economy Air is untracked.

It sounds like you purchased this around May 25th?  If it were me I wouldn’t file a claim for an overseas package until at least 30 days after it was mailed.  I know that the odd one I’ve sent out has taken that long to arrive to buyers in Europe.

Actually it was purchased before May 25th. This coming Wednesday June 20th will make 31 days.

This zombie thread is over three years old and the person who started it doesn't appear to have been on eBay for at least a year.

COVID has complicated international mail, particularly from far-flung places like Australia, so the OP's experience is not likely going to mirror yours.

Also, we're not allowed to post seller names in these discussion boards.

Australia (and New Zealand) are currently suffering delays.

You can protect yourself by insisting on Air Mail delivery, because Surface is not cheaper when your purchase does not arrive for months.

Otherwise  you are protected by eBay's Money Back Guarantee against delayed delivery.

And yes ZOMBIE THREAD from 2018.

The problem with zombie threads is that the advice may be out of date or incorrect.

Hi look at the Canada Post website and they have suspended delivery from Australia and New Zealand along with many other countries due to available transportation.
