Here is some pics and my Stinky with some of the parts on
PS: sorry for crappy photos, had to use my phone cam.
Aussie customs can be a right pain in the @ss. They're really thorough when checking incoming packages for outside "contaminants" that might spoil their delicate eco system.
I have ordered wayy more stuff and it generally surprises me how fast it gets here (sydney). Though I always go through a online shop. Where did you get it from?
Me and my mate put in an order from Chain Reaction cycles. This was bout a week before christmas. Then around mid Jan me mates mum gets a Letter from customs saying they were keeping it and she had to fill outta form. Dosent bother me though, it got here in the end

Oh also forgot to mention, the things i mentioned at the top werent the only things that came in the package, me and my 2 mates put in a large order before christmas so we wouldnt get hit with shipping, we ordered bout $2000 worth of gear, perhaps that was a reason?

Yeah, you want to keep your order under AUD$1k so you don't get hit with import tax and processsing fees. That's why it was held in Customs. If you want to order stuff over $1k, split it up into smaller orders and make sure it doesn't all arrive in the country at the same time or customs will add up their value and tax you on the lot.
I've got a contender there!.
Here in Venezuela they will dissapear your stuff, just steal it. No excuses.
My dad lost a whole 8000$ S-works Epic Build, no refunds whatsoever
Anyway, cool stuff there, bomb-proof components, ride the hell out of them!
