I just ordered a physical copy with USPS priority post. How long would it take for it to arrive in Australia?

I took the FedEX International option (I believe, Priority?)... We'll see how long it takes. I haven't heard good things about FedEx either when it comes to delivering in Australia but I'm willing to take the chance.

My experience shipping to Australia with priority mail has been 5-10 days, depending on the type of air shipment (express or not), whether Customs decides to take a look at it and where in Australia it's going. Fastest I've seen with priority mail is about four business days to the Melbourne area from the US.

Thanks Erik. I am so excited for this. How does US count its business days? Do they count saturdays or still the same Monday to Friday? I know Australia has no post on Sundays and half-day on Saturday but its just as good as Monday to Friday

For us business days means M-F, though mail does deliver here on Saturdays as well.

i get alot posted from matrix to me in melbourne and the cheapest option is usually dead on 2 weeks and then the next one up is about one week, so i am reckoning that any higher option would have to be like Erik said 4 days, maybe 5 days - business days i would say maybe, but then again if it can go by the weekend and it may reach you by tuesday.

Ok I am in Perth. I ordered it an hour or two ago and used USPS priority (there were 4 so I guess it is 2nd tier). So I might be getting mine next week friday unless it gets featured in the next episode of border patrol (if customs decides to check it)?

USPS Priority is usually 3 days here in the US, but it's not guaranteed (sometimes less, sometimes more). Of course with it being shipped international, that will likely add a few days onto that. Of course customs varies from country to country.
