    Hey guys,
    I bought an ipod touch off ebay on tuesday.Seller said he shipped wednesday morning.Only realised today that it will probably be delayed due to the flights being grounded?
    Just wondering how long does post from britain normally take?Its being sent by regestered post if that makes a difference.
    Also can I as the buyer request to see the tracking info of the ipod to make sure seller has sent it?

    Usually, between 3-5 postal days for me, though sometimes, it could take up to 10.

    I'd expect you to get it early next week, since it's registered (as long as flights don't get delayed any longer).

    It usually takes 2/3 full days for an item to get to me from the UK, but sometimes delayed packages have taken up to 10 days

    in a similar situatuion to the op and was looking up the situatuion(on the royal mail website)

    it seems that they will use road and rail to sendf the mail so i'd imagine that we'll get the packages albeit with a delay

    Yep. If it was sent as registered post, they should have given you a tracking number when they marked it as dispatched... I'd send them a message asking for it if I were you (maybe check through your ebay emails to see if it hasn't been included there first)
