I hear you and if it hadn’t reached the Royal Mail tracked 48 stage I would be patiently prepared for a lengthy wait as customs is a game of chance. Still I can only hope you are right, I will wait another week or two and see what happens, and then see what their response is at that point.These things happen sometimes with shipping and it can become frustrating and worrisome, but I'm sure Andrew will make it right one way or another. This hobby that we all have has hiccups, especially in the shipping dept.
One thing is clear though, only the shipper can file any claim on International signed for and tracked 48 but even then it won’t be without full proof of package value and as package was declared at $15 I don’t see it being meaningful
