So I got an email from Micro Trains promoting a Memorial Day sale and I decided to place an order. I logged in ... I put everything in the cart , tried the discount code and it worked (yay).... I went to set the address and ......... . . . . well , I can ship to all sorts of places like Ukraine, Russia, Norfolk Island even the Antarctic but no Australia. Does anyone know why we're excluded ? There are no natural disasters here and Covid related post delays are finished. I guess the promotional sale has been missed.
This is difficult to believe. Have you made an inquiry to them for an explanation? If so, and your receive as reply, I would certainly be interested.
That's nuts. I don't see anything wrong with Australia that might explain that. At least not the usual reasons, like rogue state, failed state, severe sanctions, etc. Probably some unbelievably bonkers bureaucratic thing.
LOL , why did I just think of "Get Smart" ......... I find that difficult to believe Mr Smart. Yeah it's weird. I will let you know if I get a response. I know the post is working , even old items delayed last year in August got here about a month ago. There was 4 of us from the same club that had all ordered in the same week from Lombards and all the parcels arrived here in Australia on the same day. It was like a mini Christmas. Anything ordered from ebay USA, UK and China turns up on time.
.......... I wonder if we're classed as an "abandoned state" , since international travel has started again there is a mass exodus happening. Aircraft are coming in far from full , sometimes 1/4 loaded but they are at capacity going out. Tourism based business's moaned for ages to open up international tourism but it seems to have backfired badly.
............. Well it appears I have good news ! I tried placing an order with Micro Trains today and it went through !!! Yaaaaaayyy ! Top manufacturers like MT are worth waiting for
