As a Canadian EBayer...Canada Post sucks, but that's because the border holds packages for inspection for so long, when tracking a parcel...I've seen my poor little parcels stuck at the border for up to 2WEEKS...which is INSANE!
I have purchased and sold from/to Australia, and unless you wish to pay a freakishly large amount for air postage, then you are stuck with shipping by boat...which can take up to a month...or MORE. I sold a item to a Aussie for 35.00(us$), and shipping via air was 75.00, and boat was 58.00(can$).
Air shipping wasn't screamingly fast either, as I was quoted 2 weeks...or more, for it.
Buying a item was SLOW...as I wanted shipping by boat...which took 2 MONTHS!. Shipping by boat also means NO TRACKING is available!.
I'm certain the seller can give you approximate shipping times...but you better not be in too much a hurry.

I live in Florida and was wondering where the best place to order the Bob Parker ESR meter is. Will shipping take a long time from Australia? I've never had fast shipping from Canada so I don't know if I want to pay more to buy it from www.flippers.com . It is about $10 cheaper from *** Smith directly.

Does anybody else sell this kit?

I also live in Florida, and have a Bob Parker ESR meter. Bought it from John's Jukes (flippers) several years ago. I don't remember how long the shipping took, but I don't remember it being excessive. I'd expect that delivery from Australia would take somewhat longer than from Canada. Haven't a clue as to how much longer though.
If delivery time is that important, why don't you send an email to each vendor and ask about the shipping. Waiting for an intelligent reply might take longer than you want, so I guess it's a toss-up.

=========================================

I used Googgle to find a UK vendor that claims to have 10 day international air delivery. E-Leader at http://www.monitortest.net/

From their web site...
Build the kits by yourself and save money: *** US$66.85 ***
Factory assembled and tested only US$83.95
Shipment and insurance for overseas sales is US$15.95 (overseas delivery is by air and usually takes less than ten days).

Ah, our shipping is $12US and we also include a MOV to protect against charged capacitors... and it is the same - Postal Air - which is anything from a few days to 2 weeks (very rare) to the US depending on US Customs.
