Hello
The problem lies with the mail systems throughout the world.
We would send items around the world three or four times a week. We sent so=
mething from Australia to Miami five weeks back and it still has not arrive=
d. Similarly we are waiting for a package to come from Miami and it=E2=80=
=99s been sitting there at a USPS facility for three weeks.
Australia to the UK is just as bad. Currently there is no airmail between A=
ustralia and Canada with everything going by sea. It is not possible for an=
ything to go to Canada via the US.
We track everything and it=E2=80=99s possible to see where things are.
About four weeks back I bought some parts for the BN3 from AH Spares in the=
UK and it was sent by courier. I had them in five days.
My advice. Be patient.

Subject: [Healeys] Denis Welch, the Royal Mail and a mid week Rant
If some of you remember I was on the list asking about original type and af=
ter market type tappets for my BN2 engine build. I finally decided to buy =
the modified tappet that Denis Welch sells. (cost with shipping $110) The=
se are the same after market types that the usual suspects sell, but Welch =
machines a flat groove on two sides to aid oil drainage back to the pan. W=
ith shipping by Royal Mail (the cheapest) I bought them on May 5th. They a=
re still in transit with no scheduled delivery date according to the United=
States Post Office. For some odd reason they sat at the airport in the UK=
for almost a week before departing for the States. Once here (Miami, FL) =
they sat there for several more days before entering the USPS system. I pu=
rposely avoided the alternative offered by DW (UPS). I have been hearing f=
rom several sources UPS is having problems and to avoid them. Maybe I shou=
ld have sprung for the UPS charges, even though they were substantially mor=
e. Not sure who is at fault here; me, Welch or the Royal Mail. Just a n=
ote of caution if you are thinking of buying anything from a UK supplier th=
rough the Royal Mail.
