No it went to sydney...i ordered when there was no pandemic
I also kind of thought the flights would still be flying but with cargo instead of passengers like the old days (prop planes) where they would differentiate between carrying passengers and cargo dependiing on what they could carry.
The time frames to america have gone down

I'm finding that the items from the US (through Amazon Australia) are arriving within a week... which is pretty damn good.
I can't say the same for items from Asia or within Australia.
Received a Transformers item recently from Amazon US (purchased through Amazon AU) shipped via DHL and delivered by Australia Post. Shipped on Friday 29 May our time and arrived in the morning on Thursday 4 June. It had already cleared customs in Sydney by Sunday 31 May.
Ok, well good to know they are shipping Transformers from Amazon US again.
I just don't have enough guts to cancel my Amazon US orders of upcoming Earthrise toys and get them through Amazon AU instead.
I ordered an Optimus Prime from Amazon US. Arrived in 6 days from when it actually shipped and that's with the added day to transfer to Aus Post so it could be sent to parcel locker. Ended up being the wrong Optimus but it was still incredibly fast.
I do believe my purchases fit in both categories...
Amazon America is still blocking me when I set my address to Australia, but they seem to be offering up a fair few items through Amazon Australia, both their own stock and other people's stock.
I don't pre-order anything on Amazon though, as it is too unreliable and it can't be guaranteed that the stock will still be available to Australia when it is released in America to the Amazon America warehouse.
However, since April (I didn't buy anything online during April because I had to spend over $1500 on my car that month), I've bought the following items from Amazon Australia, which were all items from America that were listed on the Australian site...
MAY

CYB 1-step w8 - Repugnus (Amazon US stock)
CYB 1-step w8 - Shadow Force Bumblebee (Amazon US stock)

-

JUNE

Until the Amazon America site lets me shop there again, I use this link for the Amazon Australia site and select "Newest Arrivals" in the sort box at the top right.
