Saturday afternoon i was browsing the museum looking for a DC 880 as ive decided to use a front brake with my 890 rear, came across this and got it posted for $32 as it was described as rider condition. Well fook me, it turned up today! rapido standard shipping from LA

and its in better condition than described (its going to be black) Bonus

That's cool

I paid for expedited shipping from Japan, the box arrived in the UK in 2 days; however, the post office have had it for 9 days now!

Good old Royal Mail

I work with quite a few oversea's companies and they all say the same about Royal Mail

they track post to the UK (which takes a day or two) and then sits in Royal Mail Handling for 5-15 days

Another thing that makes me proud to live in England

Thats first class service from the states! Things that ive ordered have been a bit hit and miss with regards to time. Some stuff takes a few days, other bits take a few weeks.
