I'd been wondering where my order from Merlin had got to.

Normally they delivery stuff pretty quickly, so I was surprised that my brake pads and multitool had not arrived.

Went to look at the tracking information - delivered ????

Really?

And then...delivered by the Fort William Royal Mail centre.....

Which is quite a long way from Cambridge.

Yes, I'd left the shipping address set at the one I used when I was on holiday in Ballaculish back in the Summer.

Aarrghghghg!

Yeah - that's happened to me in the past too. A bit infuriating...

It might not be entirely your fault, Merlin's site can often change delivery details if you go back a page or accidentally refresh. I've had this with click and collect when it sent to the nearest shop rather than the most convenient. A difference of a few hundred metres rather than miles admittedly. Are you taking your bike with you when you go to collect it?

Well, people keep saying that I should do LEJoG while I'm not so decrepit that I can actually do it.

So maybe this is the final excuse I need.

Do you need assistance retrieving it or are the accommodation sorting it out for you?

Mrs Stu bought a new crank from CRC.
Didn't look at the delivery details on Paypal.
Crank got delivered to the local GP surgery where some meds had been delivered last time paypal was used.
This was when the first real panic about CV was happening and they wouldn't even answer the phone.
Got it back in the end.

Thanks for the offer! - I might need assistance - I only realized this morning though so I haven't yet contacted them.

I've PM'd you (assuming I've done it right). It's Ault A'mhuillin, at the end of Laroch Beag.

thegreatape has posted it, for which I am very grateful!

(Now to switch over the default address so I don't have to resurrect this thread in a few months time).

I lost a package and Merlin lost a loyal customer from a similar issue last year. It might not be your fault OP!
