    Usually FL is very good, normally going to be quicker than HK. Did you check on their site if they posted it may be a delivery downstream of FL thing. Nothing worse than waiting for parts though.

      its really probably not Fast-Lad's fault as there has been a number of these exact same posts in the past where they have stated that stuff goes out the door exactly the same but then they're fully reliant on the Royal Mail who we all know are not exactly the best at times.

      I know myself that in the last 3 months things I order from FL takes that extra day longer than before but normally not an issue but if things dont come in time I don't blame FL.

      p.s On Wednesday I got a letter from the Royal mail saying charges were going to be made in my area, basically said that the way people communicate is changing so less and less letters are being sent but more and more parcels so to save posties backs my post might arrive at anytime between 8:00 - 13:00 with multi drop offs.

        It's only half 8 though and probably not even 24 hours since you ordered I'm assuming? There's still time, if I order anything I don't normally get it before 11am next day.

              No Disrespect but what postage did you go for on your order from FL?? ... Anything other than Special Delivery is not Guaranteed for Next Day Delivery and especially for Saturday Delivery Too!!! If you are desperate for it then pay the extra and get a Saturday Guaranteed Service, costs a quid or something!!!

              If you have paid for the cheapest shipping then stop whinging!!!!.. It's down to the Royal Mail and a standard service can take 1-3 Days!! Even Recorded Signed for is a 1-3 Day Service!! The Only Way!, I say again 'THE ONLY WAY' to Guarantee a next day service is to pony up the dough and pay for Special Delivery and if its a Saturday go for Saturday Guaranteed or Courier!,.. A Courier can sometimes work out cheaper than the Royal Mail and is usually much more reliable.
              Happy Flying! Thanks - Dave

                I always order from FL regardless of what I need, either x1 item or lots or big and unless I desperately must have it by next day I ALWAYS just choose standard RM and each time is has arrived next day anyway.

                I find FL very efficient and I'd be surprised if they haven't posted it and it's RM that's been, let's be honest - it prob is royal fail !

                  My last order with FL didn't arrive next day. Not FL fault though, they dispatched it the day I ordered it but the royal mail took 2 days to get it to me.

                    I ordered on Sunday & it got sent out on Monday, royal mail really on a go slow as only received on Friday..

                    I really think RM are really slow at the moment....

                          Fast Lad are good, but not perfect, most times stuff does go out same day, now and then something goes wrong and it doesn't.

                          My last order placed on a Sunday supposedly shipped on the Monday, but when it actually arrived, the package clearly hadn't been shipped until the Wednesday.

                          Anyone can make a mistake though.
