Should really be there the next morning if by air. Their are some WA
electronic companies that owe their success to being two hours behind
Eastern states and can take orders to 7pm AEST time and have it their

The delay happens mainly every 2 or 3 years so I am assuming that the
smaller areas have mail contractors who put tenders into Australia Post.
My theory is not many reapply hence the delays at these times.
