How long should it take for parcel from Australia?

Morning
Bought and paid for a BIN (DVD 26.95) on the 24th Nov with free postage.
Listing states will send within 2 days of cleared payment.
I thought it was going to take a good couple of weeks + xmas rush,but am beginning to panic as needed for xmas:eek:
Haven't contacted seller yet as i really have no idea how long delivery should take from Australia :o and don't want to go steaming in IYKWIM!!
they also sold several others the same day and as no F/B has been left i assume they haven't got there's yet either.
I know i should have asked before buying but!!!

Any ideas
TIA

    If its surface mail you are in trouble. Last parcel I sent there took 8 or 9 weeks. I think this is typical. You could check the royal mail site for the actual delivery expectations, O'd expect it to be similar in the other direction, but don't have actual experience. Airmail would be much quicker (1 to 2 weeks)
