And just before I get jumped on, this time frame is based on over 30 parcels over the last 5 months. When you call Aust Post and Aust Customs, all they do is blame each other and you can never get a straight answer out of either of them.

Tower gave me an "airway bill number" which I checked with Aust post who I suppose checked with customs and said the package hadn't arrived in Australia yet but then I received it about 5 days after that. They might've been full of shit by the sounds of it and had it waiting in customs all along!
