Now sorted.
it had been booked with DHL via interparcel, aparently they tried to collect twice but the driver stated parcel unready. ( It was ready ) so I asked interparcel to cancel that collection.
I checked again with the vendor that the parcel was DEFO ready. and then rebooked with TNT via interparcel and it was collected first time. That was this mornign so hopefully they will be here on monday.
My office at work is starting to look like a garage
.. Mind you, not as bad as my old office store room before I moved house, it had all the contents of my garage with the exception of the engines and gearboxes.
