I bought some nic base from Vapers Emporium last week, it was delivered via Royal Mail.

I ordered 500ml though - not sure if the RM will handle such a large quantity? . . .

I made an error, the nic base was from the Alchemists Cupboard, I'm getting my vendors mixed up.

Right well I've figured my problem out, well sort of.

I got the address correct on order(checked vapers emporium account) and paypal(checked) but its been sent to old address which vapers emporium have sent to before(doh, we moved).
Hope they can sort it out soon as got no nic, and almost down to the shit mixes!

Mistakes happen I suppose.

Its a common story chykensa I had the same thing, I phoned them immediately and they checked with the driver who said nobody was in & the back gate was locked..

1. We work from home running a boarding cattery, part of our licence is that someone is there 24/7
2. We haven't GOT a back gate, nor a front gate, in fact no gates at all

They got the photo from the driver which showed a house that I've never seen before, air turned blue and the driver (supposedly a different one) dropped the parcel off on his way home.

I LOVE real time tracking, you can really tell when they're pulling a fast one

I can't remember which courier, but once they posted a card while I was in and I spotted it within a couple of mins, phoned them, they phoned the driver and made him come back.

Well they've sorted mine out quick it seems

Sent them a email last night at half twelve, received a email at 7.59 this morning saying would be delivered to our new address today!

Have left my mobile no. with the driver via Interlink and hopefully he'll call when close by so I can guide him in!
I suspect he got to the eastern limit of our postcode which is a lane between hedges and fields yesterday, thought "this house will take me ages to find", and promptly took a photo of the hedge out of the back of his van and buggered off to an easier drop. We have one code which covers about 30 houses along the lane on both sides, some of them down little alleys, and he didn't even bother driving down checking nameboards on houses.

AAARGH - so frustrating!! I'm watching the real-time (must be some sort of delay somewhere on the system!) tracking of my parcel in the van, and the driver got to within 2 miles of me with delivery no. 5 (I'm 21), and he's now heading off towards Falmouth!!!!!
I'm due to receive this in just under two hours, so there's a tense period of waiting and refreshing the screen folks!!
Think I had better have some lunch to pass the time

I've watched a previous interlink delivery do that, in Birmingham.

Must waste a lot of fuel!

Now describing a circle around my house, never more than 6 miles away, so not too wasteful boyofford - I never realised just how many drops a van like this makes in one area.
Now on 10 of 21, and 1hr 15m away apparently!

[Q]

The 'live' tracking actually has a 10 minute delay, its there to protect the driver from hijacking

I guessed as much Q - I did for a moment wonder if I could stop the van as it went past, but then thought about the hijacking issue!!

[Q]

I questioned my driver, wondered how he's averaged over 300mph getting from his last drop to me

Was wondering how safe this live tracking was, but that makes sense.

On one of orders I tracked ages ago the van was twice less than 500m away in the day, then we were one of his last drops!
