Asking for any Australians dmc said they estimated my parcel to come dec 4-9 were any of the estimated times accurate for you guys?
As DMC's resident fangirl, I can confidently say NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT. I paid extra for express shipping, was quoted a week, but mine definitely took the scenic route & stayed fucking forever at every port along the way. Factor in Aus Post, the Ukraine, black Friday/ cyber week & Christmas. Not being negative, trying to manage your expectations. On the (positive) flip side, Aus Post might have a tonne more staff on to combat all those things. I followed the tracking on DMC but it also showed up as an unnamed parcel on my Aus Post app & then I followed it every second of every day, which made it seem longer. Watched pot. But it got here. Into my arms. Tested. Twice- aquarium & blood. Fucking thrilled. Worth the wait now but was out of my mind at the time. Anxiety's a bitch. Hindsight is both everything & distorted. Fingers crossed for you. I have faith.

I think I found the site, but did you have to email this person in support contact to order too? I cant find how to do otherwise
There should be a whatsapp number displayed on the website which is how you communicate to them

In terms of "excuses" you know what DMC advertise it for, so research that. You have a new hobby. People do not get hospitalised for learning a new skill. I would believe if you were scammed, then you didn't have the real source to begin with. If you're confident that you used the real DMC, I am confident that you've not been scammed. I contacted them via whatsapp - I don't know if you've tried that, but that's how I repeatedly had contact with them. If you have the Australia post app & login, it will show up at some point, as an unnamed package, that will track eventually. I very much understand your anxiety, I went through the exact same thing. But if you go back to my first post, this thread was set up for positive, constructive, success stories only, to empower other people in Australia & to combat all the negativity etc & to please post elsewhere if not appropriate to this thread. I've answered everything I can for you, across multiple threads & private convo's. Even when I don't have the time. Because I wanted to help you. So please help me now - please keep us updated on this thread if you have success & I have my fingers crossed for you. But I respectfully ask that any other posts, not related to success, be added to another thread please. That's not what this thread is for & I thank you for respecting that.

Thank you both from the bottom of my cold, almost dead heart 🤣
I've received the tracking number yesterday. Not showing up on the AP app I have, but maybe that is because it has only just been shipped out.

I'm pretty confident (no memory sorry) that there was a patch between their countries & ours before it popped up on the Aus Post. I think (!!) that was another one of the bits where I was anxious beyond belief. I'm pretty sure I posted about the exact wait times somewhere here. But to all, don't lose hope, I've got my fingers crossed for you. And again, for me too & my bus - with hindsight I should've either ordered from multiple sources or used it straight away when I was running on adrenaline, but I did the best I could with the info I had at the time (she says online with confidence to strangers, but doesn't really believe in her head...) 🤣

OK, this is for EVERYONE out there in SaSu land...
Just 2 things.
1 - I just had a super quick look & it was 3 weeks or so from order to receiving. I'm not in Sydney which is where it landed in AU, so Sydney peeps would "probably" get at the 2 week mark, in normal circumstances - I have no idea if Christmas will slow things down or speed things up. I hope that is useful to someone, anyone.
2 - this is the big one - I wrote this thread for success stories about getting SN in Australia. I'm going derail my own thread, temporarily, & make it ABOUT ME & SUCCESSFULLY CATCHING MY DAMN BUS.
With the SN I got in Australia 🤣
I made my decision last year.
My bus is coming as soon as humanly possible.
Like, it's defs left Sydney already 🤣
Due to me being me & a bunch of really legitimate reasons / shit excuses, my bus is coming & my plan is not finalised. I just wrote my protocol last night (like, really). Tapped it out on my phone today. Really. Ffs.
Haven't reread or done anything remotely associated with it since.
I fucking hate myself.
BUT this damn thread is supposed to be about positive, success stories.
If any single one of you can contribute to me being successful, I'd be forever grateful (probably not forever, ever, I'm hoping days, max 🤣 🤞).
I've really dedicated a lot of my time here to helping others. I feel a lot of social responsibility & I never want anyone to be alone & I want other people to have access to sources & information & to not be scared. It was important to me. They were my choices & it doesn't mean anyone owes me anything, I'm defs NOT saying that. Definitely not.
But everyone has an hour of need.
This is mine.
I posted my protocol in the public section today because I have no idea where people mostly hang out. I have only been answering messages or researching, haven't even scrolled in the longest time. No time. No privacy. None.
And then I posted a mini thread in the private section to say I'd posted it. Anyone that needs privacy is welcome to respond there too.
If any of you could read, review, criticise the absolute shit out of it, please do.
If you know someone that could help, please share with them, even just sending a link to them in private so they don't feel obligated.
If not, even just type "BUMP" on either or both threads.
I'll take what I can get, as soon as I can possibly get it.
Then my bus 🤞🚌🧂🤞🚌🧂, as soon as I can climb those bloody stairs. FR.
And then you'll have definitive proof that DMC is legit & I'll be out of your hair, no more long, rambling posts, like this one...
So, WIN / WIN. 🤣
Please don't misinterpret the emoji's as a lack of seriousness. And please be kind about why I haven't sorted my own shit out. I COULD NOT BE MORE HIGHLY AWARE OF MY OWN FAILINGS.
Please help, if you can, in any way you can.
Also, feel free to ignore. I know this is my own responsibility.
Best of luck to each & every one of you, with your buses or your recovery.
Mic drop 🎤

Oh wow. This is starting to feel really lonely. And sad. Did not see that coming.
I'd rather feel empowerd & confident.
I know my ramblings are too much. I get it. I'd stop immediately if I could. But I'm stuck being me, until my bus gets here, then hopefully freedom.

I messaged the WhatsApp number a week ago saying I was "interested in one of their listings" but no reply yet

its okay don't feel bad or ashamed, this is supposed to be the spot for safely opening up and sharing our feelings about these things without feeling judged or watched by others who cant relate

Ha! Mine still do that too. I dunno if it's automatic within a certain time frame or it's because I don't know what I'm doing.
I've found myself in a weird position here - I never, ever wanted friends here & then ended up with one of the best friends of my life, who also wasn't looking for friends. And then all my friends buses came (& I'm happy for them). All the more senior members that I relied on, that I trusted their knowledge, their buses came too. And my bus, that I was in such a rush for, failed to show - I just haven't been able to make it happen in a very challenging environment. So now I need advice to finally make it happen & I don't actually know a lot of people here any more & I've been a too heavy burden on those I do. And I can't make more friends. And I have trust issues so dunno how to take advice from newbies. And I was raised to be independent & self sufficient & never ever ever lazy & DEFINITELY never ever allowed to feel sorry for myself - I find that last one amusing - I don't at all feel sorry for myself that I need my bus, don't feel sorry about the physical & sexual assaults, the narcissistic abuse, my debilitating physical health issues - I take all of that in my stride, don't dwell on it, accept it. I'm fine that it all happened. I'm fine that I need a bus to get out. But geez, I am really feeling sorry for myself about the logistics of CTB'ing - getting alone time to plan, alone time to die. And the traumatic brain injury that I just accepted, & the ADHD & all of that too, just accepted it. But now that all those things are stopping my bus & the only people that understood my situation are gone - it really really sucks & this is the first time I've felt lonely since I joined here, but again, I don't have it in me to make new friends, I don't have anything to offer anyone any more, I'm only in a position to take not give & that's not my nature so I'm stuck. I think the only answer is probs just to stop posting & stop answering messages & just lurk around looking for whatever I can find...
And defs try to stop writing rambling answers that have no point.
I'm sorry.
I just deleted my whatsapp history few days ago with dmc but saw they always answered within about 6-12 hours, some within seconds, even though time zones completely different. I think they're wary of reporters & such - I spoke to them very directly about what I wanted in terms of product name & size & country & payment options etc. I wouldn't mention what you want it for or where you heard of them. But maybe confirm with someone you have the right whatsapp & send a more detailed question- whatever that is, payment options, delivery times etc. Best of luck with it all. Sorry for the above, I hope you didn't bother to read it tbh. Sorry.

I read your reply and I related to some of the things you said, if you're afraid of loneliness then if you can manage it you don't need to become a lurker if there is a chance you can be less lonely here.

Perhaps I have the wrong number if they don't reply in time same as they did for you, I saw a post from a user to find the website you need to write a very specific search to get past the result algorithm and get the website, I thought I found the right one and used the whatsapp number on their page.

I deleted all their stuff this week because I had hoped my bus was coming. There's lots of people here that can verify - I know it's often said here - their website wouldn't appeal to vegans & there's no D or M or C in their email address. Sorry I can't help further. Sorry for the above too. Best of luck.

Ordered from DMC and then canceled. Anxious about welfare checks. Australian Mental health system is extremely old school and tough. Previous was locked in there almost two months.

It's also severely under resourced as is our border control. They do not open every package, there are no dogs sniffing for SN 🤣, some providers lie on the packaging as extra discretion. People who aren't actively providing reasons to have their behaviour or purchases looked into are "generally" fine. I make zero guarantees but I am yet to see an Australian have a single issue with importing or with welfare checks. There was one thread that was clearly BS & the reason I started this thread. I do not encourage CTB'ing in any way or endorse any method etc but also don't want any options or sources denied to anyone, particularly out of fear - a lot of the time, scared people continue with their bus, in a non-peaceful way. And that's sad. If you wish to proceed with SN from any source, there are many success stories to be had here - on this thread & also SaSu in general. Best of luck to you. And if recovery is an option, even better.
