Deliveries from America

I ordered stuff from Rio Grande at tea-time yesterday and by 3.49 this morning it arrived at East Midlands Airport. I'll get a call this morning, I expect to settle the tax bill (grrrrr!) and will possibly get the stuff later today.
The same happened when I ordered my Bonny Doon. How amazing is that?

Wow! That was quick

Can't wait to see what you do with the new toys!

Wow that is amazing, I am still waiting for a Christmas pressie that I ordered from a UK Entertainment site to arrive which I ordered 2 weeks ago !!

You lucky lucky girl Carole, I am so jealous xx

I know what you ordered, but have no idea as to what they are, so looking forward to seeing the output.

The Americans have customer service sorted don't they. Why can't we do it over here?

Going off at a tangent, Carole - do bear in mind that the tooling for the Bonny Doon isn't generally terribly tricky stuff, and any small engineering firm should be able to make things like those up. *Might* be cheaper than buying from the US, no guarantees.

That's very impressive! Shame all deliveries aren't like that...
