So roll on technology reaching the delivery systems in the UK.
Yes, it would be nice to actually know where the delivery van is so you can plan on being in at the right time. They must have this information as each item is delivered and checked off.

I bought a second hand piece of equipment form a dealer in California and it was fascinationg to watch it trickling from state to state and different carriers in the US before finally on a UPS jet to Gatwick. Then saw it put on the van but it took most of the day to actually get to me.

Still a bit of kit that originally cost over £1,000 for under £50 including shipping second hand was a bargain. Just needed a light service of the switches and it worked perfect.
