I don't get why that is because I think they send by regular airmail. Everything else I get from the UK using that takes about a week, but with Arrow it's always like 2.5. I do know if you put in a big order, they use DHL.

I just put in a test order on Amazon UK and this is what I got for my delivery options. Both Standard and AmazonGlobal Standard give the same ETA, but AmazonGlobal Standard is much more expensive. There's something really wrong here. I'm gonna get in touch with Amazon and see what they say. What's the estimated delivery date for your order? I've got 1st of November.
Amazon UK are the worst in terms of packaging. This is something I go on about all the time, but it makes me so mad. The packaging is crap and it's also like their warehouse staff have knives for hands or something. However, I've got a feeling that a lot of stuff gets sent out isn't in the best nick already either because they're returns or that they've been mishandled in the warehouse.
Arrow pack pretty well. Stuff is usually shrinkwrapped (one layer) and Tetris'd into a box with those air bags around them. I have had some damages from them with my last couple of orders though because I'm sure they've started to use boxes made of much thinner cardboard, and instead of wrapping the goods in those air bags, they just put them on top to fill the empty space.[/QUOTE]
I not really had too much issues with amazon uk before but have not had these guys as a courier before either so dont know what to expect.
Im registered with aus post and two tracking numbers came up on it but its aus post unique tracking number says amazon uk but i have no idea what it is.
I have two steelbooks ordered together sent separate one tracked other not and the one that has is with ups i tracking. Yep one steelbook gets ups i tracking??? Which is good.
I have three items in another order with aramex dont know what to expect from them but plenty reviews saying worst courier around and if asendia was not bad enough these are supposed to be worse.
I then have my arrow ltd set and steelbook with aramex.
And have one other order yet to dispatch so god knows who will ship this,what i don't get is they send a single steelbook with ups i tracking yet two more expensive orders with amarex.
Had another order for three items to be sent together all coming out about few days apart or so but they decide to send one on its own
Does not really matter what you try and do order a few items to get better courier service or pay more in shipping etc they just do as they please.
I feel like such a moaning git on here when it comes to orders from amazon but my enjoyment in ordering from them has long gone now.
I be glad to see amazon here in australia if it ever happens.
But im liking how my ebay orders are packed well from sellers maybe thats the way to go but normally you pay much more.
