I ordered some parts online from Microchip on the 17th of this month. The=20
goods arrived at Mascot airport (Sydney) within two days (NSW is 18 hours=20
ahead of Arizona). It has taken two days to be trucked or flown to=20
Queensland (a 2 hour flight or 1.5 days trucking). It has now been at the=20
Fedex Brisbane airport depot for two days now, marked 'not due for=20
delivery'.

As I type this at 9:00 pm on the 23/11 it is still listed as not due for=20
delivery.

Fedex and Microchip estimate it will travel the 16 miles from the airport=20
to me, by 6:00pm on the 25th.  My suspicion is, that due to the freight=20
being International Economy, they are now deliberately delaying delivery to=
=20
ensure there is a difference between economy and express.

Or am I just a victim of my own conspiracy theory?

Mind you my order with Marks and Spencer in the UK got to me within 5 days=
=20
by UK air post, which is quicker than a parcel from Victoria which is only=
=20
3.5 hours flight away from me.
