I received an order from QRPLabs today via TNT. The last mentioned location (Botany) is perhaps a 300km drive from where I live and the TNT truck was in front of my home about 5hrs after that.
Just sharing because it amuses me to see where it went and because the package DID arrive.

Mike,
That is UNREAL !!
Apparently packages only move on the 11th of the month ?
Thanks for the laugh at your expense.

That's quite a route for six days traveling! It'll need a holiday after that ?

FYI
The packages don't always move on the 11th of the month... American date format is month/day/year. Rest of world day/month/year. It's why I try to remember to write the month as the first three letters of its name, rather than a number.

Daniel,
The format YYYY-MM-DD is best for date-tagging computer files, but
I've found that the format 12 NOV 2022 seems to be the most
comprehensible internationally.
Trouble is, everybody in every country thinks that their country is
the smartest in the world, and every other country is stupid. And
obviously this causes a problem with international commerce. The
answer is to be understood on the other side of the border....

Perhaps we need "Date Formats for Dummies"?

I use YYYY-MMM-DD e.g.? 2022NOV12? I think IEEE had proposed it some time back.
