Actually, my recent experience suggests that if I buy it today, it will
be in Australia within a few days, and then languish indefinitely with
an unexplained delay.

loud enough.
So I installed a door bell. Tested it. It worked fine.
Then the very first time a delivery guy used it, it jammed in the on

drivers in mind.
Why is this so hard?

this:

It is fucking brilliant. Quality is excellent. Easy to install. It
even comes with a teeny tiny spirit level. I ordered mine with two
extension bells (one in the house and one in the workshop). Here\'s the
two really nice things (and a whole bunch of regular nice things)
about the system:
* You connect it to your home wi-fi network and it can \'talk\' to your
cell phone or tablet anywhere on the planet.
* The camera senses movement, day or night, and announces visitors at
around 5 ~ 6 Metres, BEFORE the button is pushed. Last time I was in
Newcastle I spoke to a mate who popped around unannounced to my home.
It was pretty cool. You could, for instance, instruct the delivery guy
to leave the parcel, via the speaker in the doorbell.
I wired mine into a full time supply, so I don\'t rely on the allegedly
long pasting internal battery. Instructions are excellent and the
system just works flawlessly. The camera works quite well at night and
very well during the day. IR sensitive.
I\'m thinking of sourcing one of these:

and installing it in a 3D-printed housing.

I wouldn\'t be holding my breath waiting for delivery!! ;-P

Yeah, I had two packages sent via DHL on the 23rd, one from the USA
and the other from Singapore. They both arrived in Melbourne within
the week, the Singapore one a day or two earlier as you\'d expect.
On Monday I picked up the USA one at the post office, still waiting
on the Singapore one. You can\'t apply logic to these things.
But DHL use Aus Post for the delivery within Australia, the courier
services used by RS and e14 don\'t (for me).
