It should be fine. I've noticed Myer are getting better at this and actually usually have stock to send.

I got the dispatch email about an hour ago but no tracking. I don't think they have ever given me a tracking number.

Yea sweet, they look cool!

[whoisbiggles]

Got plenty of the x & a wings. Aiming to pick up a couple of the tractors - and wait and see if any end up in the clearance bins.

Anyone get the generous offer from eBay regarding joining the eBay guaranteed delivery program?

Make you your don't skip over the fine print, particular the below gem.

What happens if an item does not arrive by the guaranteed date?

In our beta phase in early 2018, there won’t be consequences on your Seller Standards if a delivery arrives later than the timelines you provided us with in your Rate Tables. However, when the full program is launched, if a guaranteed item is delivered late, the buyer can request one of two refund options:

 

• The buyer keeps the item and gets a refund on the shipping cost (Paid for by the seller). Or, if shipping was free, the buyer can get a $10 coupon instead (Paid for by eBay).
• The buyer gets a free return label for a full refund of the item’s cost and the shipping cost (Paid for by the seller).

eBay will help to manage customer service so that it does not create more work for sellers.

All part of sellers paying for eBay to compete with Amazon Australia.

Yeh , eBay can keep that.

[ED-209]

Seriously,  wait... What? No way

[Sparkesy43]

Given how spectacularly unreliable Australia Post can be, guaranteed delivery time-frames are fraught with danger.

Amazon Australia finally up and running. LEGO prices are fairly underwhelming.

As are the prices for most things

[Furious_george]

Yeh it’s not really that amazing. 

On a plus note , Indominus Rex is flying . Wish I had bought more.

Totally missed the boat on Jurassic World.

Scooby Doo Mystery Machine has been selling nicely (and timed with the $1.10 FVF). Wish I had picked up more series one speed champions when target were selling them off at $10 all my "la ferrari" and Porsche Spyders are gone @ prices in $60's, McLaren P1's are pretty stagnant at $35, maybe next year. And have posted the last of my Forest animals (31019).

Timing to have all my listing end early next week.

Only problem with IR for me is the box size. Australia Post will rob you blind on postage from WA to eastern states. It’s more efficient for me to sell sealed bags , no box.

[whoisbiggles]

The same with all the larger sets, and you really have to good strong boxes, to withstand Australia Post.

I can imagine, I sold my one a while ago. I just parted with a Raptor Rampage for 163 after costs and a Pterandon Capture at an underwhelming 64 bucks

[Furious_george]

From what I’ve read , all the dinos except IR are being remade in new sets.

Good to know. I only ones I have left now are one T Rec tracker and one Raptor Escape. I'd like to keep the RE in my personal MISB collection though

Lol you going to drop some serious dough for this MF?

[Furious_george]

No , not me Ted. I had the original for a couple of years. That will do.

At Aldi tomorrow, beats Big Dub's $24.

Amazon finally got back to me regarding selling on there. $50 a month in fees just to list on there , plus a cut of between 6 and 15% on every sale. Don’t think it gives me access to a FBA style fulfilment centre so I’d have to pay shipping too. I could be wrong on this point so I have asked for clarification.
