Sue I find with my courier that once it has been despatched it can take a week as she is so busy she tends to only come this way on a Wednesday - and you can tell within 15mins what time - so sometimes I have thought I would get the parcel on Thursday and it has come the following Wednesday - so really sometimes it`s more the courier than C&C
This is just what I have found and may help thinking there is hope it will come soon
I hope so as it takes the edge of what you are getting
