Title: 'Space Shuttle' shipping....
Post by: adenough on February 13, 2013, 12:17 PM
Saturday afternoon i was browsing the museum looking for a DC 880 as ive decided to use a front brake with my 890 rear, came across this and got it posted for $32 as it was described as rider condition. Well fook me, it turned up today! rapido standard shipping from LA  :daumenhoch: and its in better condition than described (its going to be black) Bonus  :daumenhoch:

Good old Royal Mail  :2funny:

I work with quite a few oversea's companies and they all say the same about Royal Mail  :-[  they track post to the UK (which takes a day or two) and then sits in Royal Mail Handling for 5-15 days

Another thing that makes me proud to live in England  :uglystupid2:

Thats first class service from the states! Things that ive ordered have been a bit hit and miss with regards to time.  Some stuff takes a few days, other bits take a few weeks.
