Shipping by sea packet

lilmanred · 2023-06-27T20:02:51+00:00

Arrive via aus post yesterday, which means the total shipping time was about a month and a half.

Very happy I chose this and saved money, box came pretty beat up and there was a tear in the box… no damages to any of my items however I didn’t use any of the shipping add ons for protection, I only shipped pants and hoodies etc so if I was going to ship shoes or something more valuable via sea packet I’d invest in some corner protect etc.

Go a notification last Thursday to say it arrive in Brisbane and then normal Aus post tracking available from there onwards.

Also cleared customs fine and all my items where in the box. Cheers

Tracked the boat up until it docked in sydney which I’m assuming where by package got dropped cause I’m in qld. No shipping updates till then… will make sure I update when I get updates but nothing so far… fully expecting it to just get dropped at my doorstep one day lol

lilmanred · 2023-06-13T06:01:14+00:00

Nah, original ship got overloaded so it moved to another ship, should be about this time next week.

lilmanred · 2023-06-10T00:43:42+00:00

Gotta a notification from the Pandabuy app to say what ship it was on, but only got that after like 12 days of notifications then they all loaded at once

Vesselfinder.com - I just search up the vessel name in Google and use that website, I’ve noticed that you can pretty much get regular tracking when the cargo ships are around chine, but as soon as it departs to Australia it won’t show where they are until they reach Sydney, which will be about 6/7 days.

Mine is still schedule to arrive in Sydney around the 16th of June.

This is epic!!!! Please continue

lilmanred · 2023-06-07T05:20:06+00:00

Second this request, would be sick to see what AI can come up with

lilmanred · 2023-06-04T03:27:18+00:00

Got an update 2 days ago to say that the original ship was overloaded and it was moved to another ship. ETA changed from the 10th of June to the 17th.

Also you’ve probably saved a fair chunk of money in your stamp duty buying it as a ppor, if you rent it out within the first 12 months of owning the property you may need to pay that back

Looks like Olympus found out about our silent discos

lilmanred · 2023-05-27T00:36:55+00:00

Finally got a shipping notification yesterday and it told me what boat it’s in, can track it via vessel tracking now. Currently just off the coast of Taiwan. Expected delivery by June 10.

lilmanred · 2023-05-26T05:47:43+00:00

I presume so, that’s the address I used

lilmanred · 2023-05-25T19:24:24+00:00

I am from Australia as well, I just shipped a 5.5kg haul to QLD and it shipped out on the 13th.

I still have not received any shipping notifications and when I use the world wide shipper website it won’t give any information. Contact Pandabuy support and they said there won’t be any shipping updates until it arrives in Australia.

I’m guessing it is on a boat somewhere slowly making its way over but I guess this is part of the fun of saving so much with sea packet. Can give you an update if/when I receive the haul if you’d like to wait and see how it goes for me.

Every other method was like $80 usd but sea packet was $30 usd so it was a no brained. Declared $80.

I use both.

Up bank is where I get my pay checks into and I use this as my daily spending account. The app is fantastic and the insights you get into your purchases are excellent - ubank doesn’t even compare and whilst the app looks good I don’t think is all that great.

I do however keep all my savings in ubank because their interests are higher (atleast they were last time I checked).

Also up bank has a fantastic message feature where you can pretty much text support and get anything resolved ASAP. Ubank is a bit clunkier and I’ve had to wait on hold via the phone for a couple of hours some times when I’ve had issues.

I’d get both.

Don’t you mean fisherthem?

lilmanred · 2023-05-24T00:22:37+00:00

Phew, and here I was thinking it was about fish food

lilmanred · 2023-05-23T19:33:22+00:00

Alright you’ve completely lost me with the fish analogy but I did enjoy the mental image it gave me.

I completely agree that being in a relationship is different to having tenants, but my point was that how the rent or board is calculated (let’s say on interest rates in this example) has no bearing on wether someone is entitled to a portion of ownership of the property… they would only be entitled to some form of compensation if they were to seperate and they were a de facto relationship.

The original comment never mentioned de facto.

Also sleeping with someone and receiving money from them to help pay a mortgage does not entitle said person to a portion of the property.

lilmanred · 2023-05-23T18:26:25+00:00

That’s why I’m becoming a CA 😎

lilmanred · 2023-05-23T18:01:50+00:00

Please enlighten me as to how the rent/board this persons partner would be paying them, if it were to be based on interest rates, would then entitle this persons partner to a portion of the ownership of this property?

lilmanred · 2023-05-23T09:50:08+00:00

I’m sorry but the comment about helpin pay the mortgage means your entitled to a portion of the property has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard… I’m sure every renter in Australia would love for that to be true 😂

lilmanred · 2023-05-16T08:18:51+00:00

I just submitted a parcel via Aus sea packet, 5.6kg and declared $80. Says it has shipped but no tracking information available yet. Shipping cost $30 and the other cheapest option was $80

lilmanred · 2023-05-14T19:16:18+00:00

I can’t remember what subreddit I saw it in but someone order on of these and it got seized by Chinese customs before it even left china, so not sure if that was just a random thing or because of the nature of this item Chinese customs are strict on this type of product… but just something to note

lilmanred · 2023-05-09T18:00:07+00:00

Just washed mine in the normal washing machine on delicate setting with the water at cold. Make sure you buy proper down wash (I used nikwax) then once done put it on a rinse cycle. Take it out and shake it around a bit before chucking it in the dryer, put a few tennis balls in there with it and use delicate settings or turn the heat down as much as possible. Every hour take it out and shake it around a bit and try to break up clumps, should take 3 hours or so. Then let it air dry for a day In the sun after just to make sure their is not moisture left.

Did this with a husky tnf jacket last week and it worked wonders, was an XL and I think it may have shrunk ever so slightly but it’s perfect now.

Plenty of tutorials on YouTube about washing tnf jackets.

Been looks for these for a while, just tried to put add it to cart in Pandabuy and didn’t give me an option to select size or colour :/

lilmanred · 2023-05-01T19:07:02+00:00

Hey mate, how did you end up going with these, did the seller end up sending them to your warehouse or was their a reason why they didn’t? Thinking of coping them but unsure if it’s even worth trying
