just to throw my dime in here about the Australian postal system..

Here's a quick run down of the international services used for sending goods:

Air Mail: Longest time posting except seamail, doesn't come with tracking.
Registered Airmail: Added protection though slightly more expensive. Includes proof of posting and a signature on delivery. Postage delivery time is the same as Air Mail.
Express Post International: Slightly quicker delivery time (roughly 1-3 days less), offers BASIC tracking services and signature. Insurance is optional.
Express Courier International: Automatic Insurance for AUD $50, FULL tracking services, again 1-2 days quicker than the last and signature. Insurance is optional.

So basically if you want the full tracking you need to upgrade your postage type to ECI... It's about AUD 14 extra give or take more than EPI.

thanks for this jcotteri. i have only used this 2 options when i send parcels to overseas. EPI's tracking sucks.. sometimes it doesnt get updated on the website at all... you need to call them up for the status.

for that little extra.. ECI is sooooo much better.. active tracking and 3-5 days from aus to usa,

I've found that EPI takes at least 3 days (usually 4-5), while ECI generally arrives within 3 working days.

Yeh I'm posting something today and it will arrive in New York on Friday their time.. To give you an idea of E.P.I. times..

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but I have a question - does women's stuff sell in the classifieds? Do women shop the classifieds? I am about to have a big sale and I'm wondering if I should post stuff here???????????

[Faust]

Why not? It's free. Guys have women in their lives too. All I ask is you keep in mind SZ standards.

Does anyone have experience replacing the atomizer on a bottle of cologne? For some reason the nozzle on a bottle of CDG palisander is completely stuck, it won't push down at all. The weird thing is, if I press it against a hard surface to force it down, it will then spray, but when I go back to use it later, it's stuck again. It's really annoying because the bottle is 3/4 full and it has become my go to fragrance so I want to use it everyday. I was thinking of replacing it with another atomizer from an old bottle but I can't for the life of me get the cap off. After enough force I am able to twist the cap, but it just goes in circles and doesn't budge off. Any ideas?

FWIW, I bought a LUC women's shirt from the classifieds for my sister a week and a half ago. I think the shirt sold in like 45 minutes.

Where did you buy it? Try exchanging it. I remember when Bulgari got a shitstorm for their faulty design of the Black bottle. You could bring it back and get a new one (only to have that one broken, which is what happened to me, haha). Side-note, very sad they discontinued it - I think it was one of the best scents ever.

Registered Post International which I assume is what you have called Registered Air Mail is in my opinion the best way and most cost effective - depending on how much the buyer is willing to pay.

In my experience it only takes 7-10 working days, has an option for delivery confirmation ($5AUD extra) and has tracking. The level of tracking, however, depends on the destination country's postal service. Though it is possible to call Australia Post at any stage to find out the location of the parcel. USPS, for example, will provide online tracking once the parcel has arrives in the US.

Yea, I might try that. It was some random online shop in New Jersey that had a good price. I bought it almost a year ago so I'm not sure they'll go for it, but worth a try. I didn't know they discountinued it! Maybe I'll stock up and order another bottle while I figure this one out. I tried a bunch of CDG fragrances from luckyscent and this was my favorite for everyday use. A year later and I'm still not sick of it! It even works in all seasons, I find in summer the sweet red hot burst is refreshing and in the winter cold the warm spicy cedar comes out beautifully.

Oh, that might be harder, but try anyway. That's the advantage from buying in a reputable shop. I always try to buy perfume, etc. at Barneys.

Oh, and I meant Bulgari Black got discontinued.
