covid has seriously affected suppliers and everyone in between

so give em some time

it's a shit hard time promising when stuff is gonna be delivered at the moment, especially when borders r involved as well! 

 

just have to have some patience, take up knitting while u wait  ?

Most couriers do a damn good job, working long hours and getting paid peanuts. I have had fair exposure to this getting in parts, personal stuff and shipping as a business and most do a damn good job. 

I always use a 24-48 hr service and that is generally what happens. 

I would suggest your supplier has used a discounted..."deliver sometime service" as it is cheap but not cheerful in my experience! If you pay the going rate to a commercial courier company for a 24-48hr service, in my experience....they deliver just that!

So the shipping /delivery company is a massive global shipping company ,they tried to deliver my mill in an 18tonne lorry on monday and it was only today they ring me leaving no name or number to ring back so I ended up ringing 6/7 diffrent numbers before somebody rang me back so now its coming tomorrow hopefully

It wouldn't be DHL by any chance would it?

When they do the whole delivery themselves it will take forever and they'll go to a t least one wrong location before geting to you.

If they use local companies the delivery arrives on time in the correct lorry with no problems.

Woodlands use DHL all the way

Logosol use DHL to the UK then local firms with local knowledge.

I have used DHL for many years and they have been pretty good!
