Does this actually mean out for delivery or does it mean ready to be put on a van? As this is what the website says. 01-08-2009 00:23 Coventry Depot Out for delivery 31-07-2009 23:22 Coventry Depot Arrived at delivery depot 31-07-2009 18:11 National Hub Sorted in hub 31-07-2009 10:28 International Hub En route to delivery depot 31-07-2009 10:16 International Hub Arrived at outward Office of Exchange 30-07-2009 17:54 International Hub AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING 30-07-2009 17:54 International Hub Arrived in destination country 28-07-2009 02:31 Delivery Agent - SHANGHAI - PTT Left origin country 27-07-2009 17:59 Delivery Agent - CHINA Collected from customer I live virtually IN Coventry, so it shouldn't take long to get to me and I've been home all day. It only took 3 days to get from China to UK, so if it takes any longer than that to get from Coventry to me (about 5 miles) that's REALLY bad. It's passed 6pm now so I'm guessing it wasn't really out for delivery, as should have thought I'd received it by now.

According to my van driving source, 'out for delivery' means it HAS been put on the van and IS being delivered, however he did say, maybe it's been put on the wrong van, or the van could have broken down or the driver might not know where he's going. Basically, yes, you should have got it by now.

Thankyou, so it looks like I probably won't know what's going on until Monday now.

Probably means it's out in the warehouse waiting for a van driver to pick it up. You should have learned by now that it will take much longer to get from Coventry to here than it did to get from China to England, remember how bad our postal service is.
