Morse recently started a thread praising Phil on the speed of his service as he ordered on a Monday and got delivery on the Thursday and thought that Phil could not do any better.
So on Monday I challenged Phil to do better. I put in an order on Monday and behold the goods were delivered today, Wednesday. Hats off to Phil who not only improved by one full day but also delivered to a different country as well.
The man is truly a legend.

That's good to know Alan, but remember, Phil only posted the order the same day He received the order, the rest was down to the postal service.

Good job it is not down here as it would take anything up to three weeks. I placed an order from Yorkshire from a well-known turner and it took two weeks. I was told by the postie that some things are being held for anything up to three weeks at the regional depot. He did go back to our local office and on Saturday brought it out(I only spoke to him on Friday). he had found it for delivery for later in the following week.
Thumbs up to my local postie but the rest of the service sucks and they try to blame the virus

Just to clarify my post Alan.
I have had next day delivery from Phil, my last order was the cheapest cost for delivery. At the time of ordering I wasn't in any rush for the kits.
Yes Phil will try to send out same day, then its up to what delivery service you've asked for, plus the postal service.

Keep up the good service Phil.
