Anyone from Australia paid yet?

[Glen_Murphy]

As of 06 Sep, no cheque here in Melbourne Australia..

Yes Glen, received mine last Wednesday 3rd September and the previous one was before the end of July.

Presumably they had less cheques to mail for month of June.

Sydney. Picked mine up Friday.

[whats up skip]

Not yet.

[cyc123]

got it today :-)

The 6 week wait for it to clear annoys me.

[Glen_Murphy]

Got mine today too :-) yay.

Yes, takes a while to clear an international cheque, and apparantly you get charged something like $40 (depending on your bank).

Goodness! Here in New Zealand I banked mine for a 10 days wait - no charge.

[2oddSox]

freitasm,

Would you mind telling me which bank you are using, and if you have a special account for US cheques or something? I'm thinking of putting mine in the National Bank, but as they charge like wounded bulls for everything else, then I can't see US cheques being any different.

Thanks,

2odd...

I was told 2-3 weeks and no charge. This is probably because I use a credit union. CUs are, on average, 53.2% less evil than banks.

Hmmm, still no cheque and the Google system is saying no payment yet even though well over the US$100 range.

[freitasm]

2oddSox, I'm using the Bank of New Zealand. They did not charge me anything and the cheque cleared in five days actually.

[DavidP]

In the end the funds showed as cleared in under 36 hours.

This is why I stopped using banks :-D
