Delivery took about ten days
Delivery took about ten days from when I ordered a pair of needle ends; we're "spoilt" by Amazon's next day service.

Dear Pete,
Thank you for your review — and I completely understand your point; we have all become rather used to next-day delivery.
Your order was placed on the evening of 27 March and was dispatched promptly on Wednesday using Royal Mail Tracked 48, as selected at checkout. The timing unfortunately coincided with the Easter bank holiday period, which can extend delivery times slightly beyond the usual expectation.
I was really pleased to hear that your parcel arrived sooner than Royal Mail had initially advised, and I hope you’re enjoying your needles.
As a small, one-person business, I always do my very best to get orders out as quickly as possible, and I truly appreciate your support.
With all best wishes,
James
