Be patient . . . you'll probably get your order Tuesday or Wednesday Dan.

Life's too short to get in a tizz over a slightly slower delivery really. There was a time when receiving a UK order within a week was considered fast.

me, patient?



I know, silly getting all worked up. It was more the way the vendor kinda spoke to me.. like time was too precious to discuss my unfortunate situation.. suppose it shows that lowest basket price isn't the be all and end all..

Chill Dan . . . an unfortunate situation isn't waiting a little longer than you'd have wished for on a delivery. The majority of Vendors do their best to get orders posted out in the minimum of time, but they do also have personal lives and are very much in the hands of RM ultimately.

I know you are right deep down Mandy. Thankyou.

Just very frustrating to know that if it doesn't turn up in the next few days (and believe me, I'm praying it does) then its quite likely that I'm going to be waiting until mid December until I can get to mixing my favourites again.. I should have ordered it a month ago but I've been putting it off with everything that's been happening.. now it's come back to bite me! What I have left of these mixes will just last me 6 weeks at a push from now.. so around the end of December. Problem I face is steeping time..

Suppose I could experiment with other flavours but it's not something I want to rely upon..

Have faith Dan.

Seems odd to me that the vendor didn't send the tracking number in the dispached notification email. As others have said though, it's not unknown for stuff to take 3 or 4 days to come even though it's sent first class.
