Does anyone have experience with how they ship, USPS, UPS or Fedex?

Man, did some searching thru my feedbacks and i nabbed a couple of hybrids off them at the start of 2011. I remember the deal and service was excellent. From memory it was fedex, i know it was fast. There 3-7 day oversea's estimate and high price definiately lead me toward fedex.

Just got a set of irons from them. About $70.
UPS
Think I paid Tesday, shipped Wednesday, arrived in Sydney Friday night and sat at UPS until today.
The service paid for (might have been w/wide expedited?) had them due for delivery today. So I think they held them at depot until today.

Bought some stuff through these guys recently, couple of months ago the started using this Global Shipping program through Pitney Bowes.

Box would ship to them, then from them via Fedex so the whole thing took inside say 10 days.

Bought something mid June from them, went off to the shipping centre but is now being shipped via a mob called wnDirect http://wndirect.com/. It arrived there 20th June, says it shipped from there 23rd June but today tracking still hasn't updated to show status.

Just a heads up for everyone. I'm assuming telling GolfeTail would be pointless, but when you see "International Priority Shipping to Australia" on the ebay listing, don't be fooled :). USPS Priority is faster!

No, I hadn't until the other day either. Be interesting to see how long it takes.

I got a set of shafts coming from the USA and noticed this WNdirect also. I can't track the item on the WNdirect site.....!!

I've had a few things shipped thru the Pitney Bowes. Took about 2 weeks from what I remember... you can track it through the ebay tracking system.

I think mine came over with USPS or Fedex and then Aust Post delivered the final leg but it should come up in the tracking...

Ebay tracking isn't telling me anything since 20.06.2014!

I've emailed golfetail, I reckon Pitney Bowes have tried to find a cheaper shipper. See what happens or if they even respond.

Same, it goes from the seller to the PB distribution centre in Kentucky and they send it on and mine was delivered by Aust Post, huge waste of time.

Just found this on their website, so yep, what Gaz says is true. Auspost will deliver. I'll update when it arrives and you can guage then the time for the "priority delivery to Australia" :)

Received an email from Worldnet shipping this morning, telling me my order is being processed for delivery in Australia today. They give a direct link to tracking in the Auspost system. So, if someone is home, 16 days from purchase. Not terrible, but not priority either :)

Waited 3 weeks for sticks to turn up. FedeX shipping was kind of frustrating but then again I live in the middle of bum !@#$ so at least I got them!!!

Just bought a club from this mob and the shipping method at checkout said Worldwide Expedited which usually means Fedex or UPS. Got an email today saying the club has shipped USPS Priority. Big difference 5 days vs 2 weeks....not happy.

Thanks for the heads up. I try and ask these days, I'd prefer USPS over the Global Shipping program, but I've always had trouble getting golfetail to reply.

Anyone bought anything recently from these guys? Just spotted a rather tempting deal - $135 posted seems like a very nice price:
