It=E2=80=99s happening all over Mike. I posted a 100 distributor to the =
Netherlands on 23 March. It still hasn=E2=80=99t arrived. Another item I =
sent to the same guy on 12 May has arrived. I have 3 items posted the =
same day going to the USA that are still shown as in transit.

If some of you remember I was on the list asking about original type and =
after market type tappets for my BN2 engine build.  I finally decided to =
buy the modified tappet that Denis Welch sells.  (cost with shipping =
$110)  These are the same after market types that the usual suspects =
sell, but Welch machines a flat groove on two sides to aid oil drainage =
back to the pan.  With shipping by Royal Mail (the cheapest) I bought =
them on May 5th.  They are still in transit with no scheduled delivery =
date according to the United States Post Office.  For some odd reason =
they sat at the airport in the UK for almost a week before departing for =
the States.  Once here (Miami, FL) they sat there for several more days =
before entering the USPS system.  I purposely avoided the alternative =
offered by DW (UPS).  I have been hearing from several sources UPS is =
having problems and to avoid them.  Maybe I should have sprung for the =
UPS charges, even though they were substantially more.  Not sure who is =
at fault here;  me, Welch or the Royal Mail.   Just a note of caution if =
you are thinking of buying anything from a UK supplier through the Royal =
Mail.
