I think it was out of stock for a while before I purchased mine.. But only purchased one anyway

Looks like I'm going to have to wait for my Electrolube... DHL failed to put it onto a delivery van this morning.

OK... If you have bought something on eBay "collection only" don't try to get a courier from Shiply.com.

(a) It's extremely expensive. For two items from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford the cheapest quotes (couldn't put them together) were £61 each (and no discount for multiple items) paid in advance. The most expensive quote was well over double that.
(b) There's no checking of the courier's trustworthiness. They could be scam artists.

I may have wasted ~£200 on the items and the "courier"... beware.

Assuming that you went ahead with the transaction?

Fingers crossed it works out!!

Well, the bank has blocked the payment anyway and I can't get them to budge on that because they want me to talk to the company directly to ask them for the same details that they gave via Shiply.com... (How will that stop fraud?) However, I can only contact the courier via Shipy.com... Catch-22. So, I'm going to have to cancel and lose the £22 deposit.

So, the day I'd booked off work next week to rejig my home mail server so that I can sent to Gmail will have to be a road trip to Kingston upon Thames instead.
