Kernow MRC regularly announced what ship its limited edition models were on, so we could track its progress. In this day and age ALL goods crossing the globe can be made trackable in real time.

The optimist in me is glad that the light is at the end of the tunnel and the wait is nearly over, but the pessimist in me see’s the Chinese New Year as a huge elephant in the room and they won’t arrive in the UK until March/April time. Either way, I’m 100% sure I’ll have mine for my birthday in June Hi Jools, March is still Q1, so in line with what we estimated in our last update. That is looking like the most likely time in line with what the factory have told us last week. 21 hours ago, G-BOAF said: Or Train? Increasingly overland rail is being used to move goods from the East to Europe. Becoming more cost effective and time-competitive than shipping in the current environment. Then there's always airfreight to meet the deadline..... Hi G-BOAF, We used the train for our Metrovicks and due to unrest along some of the route (Belarus at that time) it took a lot longer, and actually slightly longer to what we were used to by sea. So at the moment it's not offering a huge advantage over sea. 20 hours ago, philg said: Once goods are in a container, I doubt the sender nor the recipient will ever know which ship it ends up on (or ships - could easily be transported on more than one) Perhaps one of the models should have had a GPS tracker fitted?? Hi Phil, We are told by our shipping agent which ship it goes on so we can track if needs be. Cheers! Fran 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
