Long way round

When I was over in the UK I packed a couple of large boxes to transport my main PC and also some gadgets, clothes, CD's Books etc. Two big boxes weighing around 30Kg each.

A quick hunt on ebay found a courier who could transport them to the Netherlands for a reasonable sum (40quid) and collection was arranged from Bina's house a few days later.

The service was 2-3 days, but as there was a weekend in the middle I was expecting them Tuesday ish.

Tuesday comes, Tuesday goes. but I did get an email asking for phone details of the delivery address (I had them sent to work so someone would be there to collect)

Anyway, its now Thursday, no calls and no parcels so I asked the courier company whats going in.

It seems my parcels are taking a quick tour of the EU as the tracking list they supplied shows

hmmmm That returned to sender comment has me worried. They are currently in Germany so no idea if they're going to get to the Netherlands today or end up back on a ferry to Bradford.
