The cheapest way to send small items is by US post.. takes about the same time most days!
(Most don't like it this way due to the lack of tracking and "lost" parcels but I have never had this problem)

Please can I flame first?
I ordered some bits in Oz 10 days ago but they never arrived. Went back to E-Bay and got the consignment number, checked it, and lo and behold the items are sitting at my local PostShop awaiting collection because they were "undeliverable".
I have never received any communication at all from AusPost (remember the card that they are supposed to leave?). I guess that it is payback by the contractor as I complained a month back when a parcel that needed a signature was not delivered, even though at the time he was meant to have tried I was at home with the front door of my home wide open! I sent an email to AusPost and in reply I was asked if I wanted to register a complaint against the contractor.
I said no. Perhaps that was a mistake....
On the day and time that this parcel was said to be "undeliverable" I was at home, with my front door open, (I have a security mesh door) and somewhere around the house cleaning out my gutters!
