I looked around and as you say, it is quite expensive. Then I found this which I think is the same?

Oh dear!

Unfortunately I ordered the above from Compass 24 on the 18th/4 and apart from a confirmation of payment I haven't heard anything since.

I have now read the Trustpilot reports on this company (Yes I know I should have done this first) and things don't look good.

We shall see.

They are in Germany so give them a day or two and I reckon it'll arrive OK.

Yes and we have had Easter in between. I'll give them up to a fortnight before I raise it with Paypal.

In the meantime I have email'd them to ask what is happening so I will see if they reply.

Trustpilot reviews are dreadful though, but I don't know how reliable they are. I often think that Trustpilot is mainly used to complain so only the bad stuff shows on there.

Looks like I jumped the gun!

Compass24 replied to my email today stating that it had been dispatched and supplied me with a tracking number for Parcel Force. It is now in the UK and on it's way, although I expect I might have to pay some tax now, I wasn't aware until now that they were a German company.

Even with tax though (if I do get charged any) I reckon it's still a good price.

Well done, a good deal in the end.

Definitely a good deal - thanks for the suggestion.

I'm off to Hereford for the weekend in the camper, when I get back I will see how I get on with it and if any adjustments are necessary.
