Good eh? :D
I'm home until 15th May, hopefully delivered before that departure date. :xx:

Also hopefully get a tracking number this week so we know what's what. 8-)

Will update once i hear. :)

Predicting 1 day offload, 3 days customs & clear port, 3 days for courier to get up here. That would be Sat 4th May so hoping for Monday 6th (ding dong)!

Let us know when you receive Robert?

Of course. I think I mentioned that my shipment popped up in my DPD account for a few days & then vanished again. Most odd ….
