For international delivery, definitely (based on when CRC claim to have shipped, and on DP DHL putting the calling card thru the letterbox). Typically working out at about 15 days delivery to Germany. No idea why? Do they just stick standard UK postage on the packet, so RM just stick it in the corner in the “diverted to an alternative service” pile? Crazy that I could drive to NI, collect, and drive back quicker, including 2 overnight ferries.
edit: oh and when I reported undelivered package after 15 working days, they told me to go to my post office to see if it was there! Firstly It was sent RM not Parcelfarce, and has no tracking, Secondly DP are hardly going to believe me without a calling card, and Thirdly, after 15 working days, it would surely have been sent back if RM were reasonably prompt in delivery (DP keep them for 7 working day iirc).
Still, 1 of the German suppliers does it the other way around. Process the order after about 5 working days, then ship with overnight courier.
