I just called then again and yes I am disappointed. It is now in the UK, but although the status had gone though the 'assigning to carrier' stage it still hasn't been assigned to a carrier. Once it has it will apparently take up to 48 hours to get to me, so maybe tomorrow, maybe friday!
48 hours to assign a carrier? WHAAAAAAT?
