Package is now at Chez Bealman. A couple of dints, but Mick did good job of packing it.





On first inspection, all seems well. Will give her a run soon. I've wanted an M7 since Triang introduced their model in 1967!

I guess 12 days transit is not bad. It's just the infuriating inability to get tracking details that's the problem.

Has Anne caught up with it yet?
I fully expect to see more hospital pics very soon :)

12 days is bang on average transit time UK-Oz, as I mentioned earlier. The joy for me is that models cost 20% less here because we "avoid" VAT, and that more than covers the cost of postage.

@Stuart Down Under I'm assuming I was asked to order the item owing to the company concerned not shipping to Oz.
In which case I had to pay the VAT and pass that cost on, so no saving sadly

Tracking does not always work.

I was forced to refund a payment once when someone in Spain insisted the package had not been delivered to them, despite a vague version of tracking appearing on the Spanish post web site
