Hi Mick
Do you know whether or not your Packs were shipped from the UK via DPD?
No Davo, by Royal Mail. Who is DPD? And why would they send with them I wonder?

Apparently, my Pack #2 was shipped via DPD, which could be problematic if Australia Post don't deliver here in Oz, as I have a Parcel Locker (Australia Post) as my shipping address, not my home.
Mine have all come with Auspost.

You are lucky 🙂 I'm still waiting for Pack #2, which I was supposed to receive early/mid January. My payment for Pack #3 was debited on January 8 but has not been shipped as yet. I guess the people handling the International shipping are really busy??............you have to wonder.
Davo, I didn't get notification my pack 3 had shipped either until I contacted Customer service. Sophie replied saying they were waiting for a tracking number from Royal Mail and she emailed me again a couple of days later with the number.

Pack 2 arrived today, just in time for the weekend.
My Pack 3 arrived yesterday (28th Jan). Was posted in England on the 13th Jan so can't really complain about the speed now. :-)

Any update on Routemaster Pack 3 shipping?

My second pack left yesterday according to Royal Mail and like yourself Davo, I'm not expecting it this side of next year! 🙂. Was also told it was coming from Eng;and, not from Oz like they said from pack 2 onwards would.
Pack 2 turned up today, only 12 days after Royal Mail despatched it, and 15 from Agora saying they had shipped it. A lot faster than the 24 days for Pack 1 :-). One heavy box. 1.2 Kgs I think it was.

Hi Everyone! 🙂
I'm in Adelaide, South Australia. I received my Routemaster Pack 1 today (8/12).......Yayyyyyyy! 🙂
It took a month to arrive. I ordered it on 8/11, so given the distance and Covid restrictions, I'm happy with the shipping time.
I am expecting Pack 2 to take at least a month, given the volume of Christmas deliveries with the British and Australian Post.

Sam, I just received an email from Sophie in Agoras customer relations department where she seemed to say the whole monthly sets of packs would be sent from the UK and at the moment we here in Australia are looking at up to 4 weeks shipping time let alone how long it will take Auspost to deliver locally! Royal Mail tracking seems to stop at "Your item is now leaving the UK. More information will be available when it arrives in the destination country." and nothing further.
Any comments?
I'll answer my own question ;-). Received pack 1 of Routemaster today Nov 29th in Melbourne, it was posted in the UK on the 5th of Nov, so around 24 days to get here. Australia post updated their tracking to they had received it yesterday and it was in transit to the hub my parcels usually come from and the TWO boxes were delivered today surprisingly for them. The two boxes were secured together with three packing straps but they were so loose the had all nearly come off the boxes. Only one box had any address details on it so if they had become separated I imagine only one box would have arrived. Hope this info helps someone here in Oz.

I'm doing it at present, up to issue 112 here in Oz. It will test your eyes and shaky hands out if you are getting on in years like me 😉 .

With the Hachette Bismarck that Wayne is building at present you get the Magazine with every issue. I believe the Agora models do not come with magazines. Building instructions are online on their website. (https://www.agoramodels.com/au/download-centre-au/#four). Hope this helps.

Hi Mick, we can see a few emails and we think it is clear now. Thanks
Sam, one more question if I may. Does the Routemaster Pack one come in one box or two? I have read or seen both can be correct. Just want to know what I should look out for when my Pack one finally arrives.
Thanks.

Thanks Kitman, good news 🙂

Hope you are right Sam, it definitely looks Red though. I noticed Wayne Green of the Youtube channel World of Wayne is doing the build and his parts were the Tan colour. Hopefully I shall find out soon 🙂

Hi, reading the Facebook 'Build The Routemaster model' page a member there has just put together the first pack. There have been several comments re the colour of the stair treads and the mat area in the entryway which are Red. On The Hachette build these parts were a Cork brown colour and in the Agora build guide they are shown a as a brown shade. Have the colours of the Agora model been changed or is this a mistake by the people manufacturing the parts for Agora.

Anyone in Oz received their first pack yet?

Hmmm. Going by the Agora website it seems to lead you to believe that the packs will come from here (Australia) for those who live here. That's the main reason I signed up, certainly wouldn't have If the packs are posted from England. Although I expect a bulk shipment would come from there anyway, but hopefully quicker than normal snail mail.

Agreed you might be better off using your home address. Don't want to confuse them any more that you have too! 😉 . Good luck!
