so's i just went onto tru website in the U.S to see the price of the faves collection, and zecora. i was going to ask family in america to kindly buy and post for me. i thought, hey, lets just put it in the shopping basket and see what happens. OMG!! they ship to Australia. and even with postage, i reckon i still got them cheaper than if they were to be sold here. going by other prices on the website, we pay roughly double. fingers crossed it doesn't get dropped in the ocean along the way

So's our tru ponies got delivered yesterday!! all up from order to delivery was 13 days. not too bad, but when a company's webby states 5-7 days delivery... but it was fully trackable right to my door, upon arrival in aust it was given an auspost track number. the only other downside to this was the "24/7" customer support, and tracking updates. updates were only added after i would email asking for them - and those emails would get answered 12-24 hours later... but this seems to be a common thing for i-parcel, according to an another australian forum that was discussing this same topic
oh, and the box clearly stated sig required on delivery, this was directly underneath a label that said leave in a safe place if recipient isn't home. which i wasn't. lucky it didn't rain yesterday!
