I put in an order on 7/4/2017 with stock coming from local and
international warehouses.

The local package arrived from NSW with a Toll Priority sticker
and a clear yellow "No Signature Required" sticker on one corner,
also with the Toll logo on it. It got here on 12/4/17, not Toll's
best performance.

The international package actually did arrive by Couriers Please,
but in the hands of the same sub-contractor who delivers the Toll
packages to me. It arrived on Wednesday (19/4/17), and I had to
sign for it.

The Couriers Please package was a box whereas the Toll one was a
padded bag. In the past I've got boxes sent by Toll. Read into this
what you will.
