Permalink(Wednesday), no sign yet (Friday 15). Not really worried, as no hurry
(potential Christmas present provided it checks out OK), but thought I'd
look into it.
ebay show "A tracking number was provided.", and the usual blob chart
Dispatched
Step 1 - In progress - Dispatched
In transit
Step 2 - Upcoming - In transit
Out for delivery
Step 3 - Upcoming - Out for delivery
Estimated delivery
Step 4 - Upcoming - Estimated delivery Wed 13 Nov
(Oh! I wasn't expecting all that when I copy-and-pasted; all I see is
four blobs: Dispatched In transit Out for delivery Estimate
with just the left one blue with a tick in it, the other three grey.).
But it also says "8 Nov 2019
3:04am
Tracking number provided", which makes me suspicious: Apart from the
Charing Cross/Trafalgar Square one, I know of no post office that will
be open at that time of day, so I assume this is some sort of automatic
number allocation system that big shippers arrange with the Post Office.
Anyone know? The fact that it isn't even shown as "In transit" yet makes
me think it's still sitting at the sender (or, even, on a slow boat from
China), and the Royal Mail number is meaningless.
