Amazon just arrived and this stuff is brilliant - I will be getting more of both:

The only things I am now waiting on are the 2 "Aspect Signals", 28 Gauge Stranded Wire (Both Monday) and the stuff from China and Hatton's. Hatton's bothers me as it has been 9 days since they shipped the switch machines ? I might have to buy a couple from here if they don't turn up soon.

China is always around 21-28 days, I'm still waiting for mine, but I'm surprised at Hatton's, I think 5 day's is usual for them to the US.

Yeah - they surprise me as well. The last order I got from them was here (literally) 3 days to the minute via DHL. Have no idea why it is taking so long this time.

Already have and all they said was if I didn't have them by (get this) the 26th of May I could start an enquiry with them for them to either send out more or refund me. I know it isn't their fault once they hand the stuff to the shipper but bloody hell mate - having to wait more than a month from the shipping date to get any sort of remedy? That is ridiculous.

Compare that with Amazon - I told them I didn't get the Signals yesterday and the first thing they said was - what would you like a refund, or the items resent? They added - if your original items do happen to turn up, just keep them - you didn't get them when you were suppose to. Now I'm not saying that anyone else has to be THAT vigilant BUT, I would have thought a week should have been long enough to determine a problem and to then fix it.

OK, the reason they gave you that date is because Royal Mail won't entertain a claim for the missing package before that date, so if they can't claim against Royal Mail till then, they wont send a replacement or give a refund.
 
That sort of makes sense I guess ... think I'll just buy a couple here in the meantime cos I have a feeling, the Hatton's ones aren't going to make it.
