After two days I was about to check the tracking when my soon called to say he'd received parcel 4,500 miles away.Prompt delivery but some confusion
Prompt delivery. Thank you. Would have 5 stars if drop off place had understood the customs forms - 3 copies printed for driver as instructed! Receiving person had no idea! And I received an email stating parcel could not be delivered in WA to a post office address - by which time it had been delivered safely anyway! Bit confusing.German Cities
