I understand that the EU stock eliminates and reduces the custom risk (and I do live in the EU). However for ME it is very logical that it also reduces the shipping time (e.g. customer payment on Friday A.M., Sead informs agent on Friday...ok, give him the weekend as we all need it...UK agent prepares and ships STOCK watch on Monday, agent informs customer by email about shipment). Should be really easy. Royal Mail to here is a pain as they hand over their parcels to GLS which is by far, BY FAR, the worst parcel service over here (1 out of 4 packages made it to my door step within the last 24 months, I never buy anything from a retailer that uses GLS if I can make that call). Anyway..I'm not worried about the shipment itself (as I've expressed several times before). So yes...sit back and relax...that's what I'll do as we're hitting 35+°C today.
