That's pretty impressive. :) I regularly buy movies from Hong Kong  
(I'm a bit of an HK cinema nut), and I usually find that I get  
turnaround from HK to Sydney in four or five days, using standard  
airmail shipping. There's really no reason to use a courier company  
at that speed.

That said, I wouldn't find a post office open in Sydney in New Years  
Day!
