I got a Pokemon jacket from Hong Kong a couple of years ago (eBay)..

From ordering to my door, 4 days..

It will only take a couple of days to get to the UK then a year or more to reach you after it's been lost, found then lost again, van broke down, lost, etc......

I had some stuff ordered for Christmas two years ago..

It travelled 12000 miles or so, got to the UK via Germany in a couple days, went from London to Gateshead on day three and was then 'lost' by the Royal Mail between Newcastle and my place (18 miles)....lol

hey, at least they delivered it. City Link don't even bother to deliver items, simply say "customer has rearranged delivery" every day for a week whilst the parcel sits in their depot and the driver fcuks off to McDonalds lol
