All local (UK) times, from the time of the call to ack dispatch.

It did have to come from Japan as that's the only place they had one
(these are a little unique), and they weight... well, I could only
just lift one (if it was the same as the one it were replacing).

I've known thing be held up in clearing for easily as long as it took
to get here.

I just thought it was incredible - and still do, that this type of
logistics is possible.
