The tracking states that it has been in Dublin for the last week, the depot is only 20 km away. What really annoys me is that I paid more for the postage than I did for the product...I smell a rip-off somewhere...disgusting. Had my rant, thanks for listening.
I feel your pain since my experience is just about the same. Postage is through the roof and delivery times vary from 10 days to more than a fortnight. I decided never to order through the Ammo site again.

I decided, last year, not to buy anything on ebay. I wanted some brush cleaner soap from a company in England, but the p&p was €26.00...the item only weighed 1 oz at a cost of €5.
Sorry no sale! I told them what to do with it.
Got it from the manufacturer in USA for $5.00...incl delivery.

that postal problem was MY FAULT all the way ---I did not include the US zip code when I sent my address to Nigel. Local postal agent told me I would never get the package but I did. I live in a small town with an unusual American Indian name [Ooltewah--"beside the waters"] and only one zip code in the area so it finally got routed to me.

NP--the focus was on "What" the kit was. Well, "all is well that ends well?"

At long last I received my paints from Ammo, and fair play to them they included a gift of Gun Metal...nice one.
...now where did I store the cockpit...
