RMweb Gold Andy W Posted October 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2020 That might be DPD's system rather than Hornby's. Last month I had a similar email but in my case the delivery had already happened three days earlier - and the supplier wasn't Hornby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.Uni Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 IIRC you ordered a collectors club Brighton Works model. If you ordered a club membership at the same time it might be the club model, lanyard and badge. They just arrived for me. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUCKOO LINE Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) check your order status of you joined club at the same time as buying club terrier. My club order has just changed from processing to dispatched and also had the DPD related email which said delivery today but DPD not yet picked up package from Hornby , according to DPD tracker !

Jenny Emily Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I got the same DPD email, but no delivery or tracking info. I received the lanyard and membership card via ordinary post, but the club loco hasn’t turned up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did I. What role DPD play in all of this remains a mystery known only ( perhaps) to Hornby.Unlike Jenny Kirk I did at least receive the Terrier immediately upon ordering.

robmcg Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I have a feeling that post and couriers are in some trouble these days, with very inconsistent service. I buy a lot on Ebay and use the courier or post favoured by the seller, it's actually comical, the errors, and such as receiving multiple Emails announcing receipt or delivery and 'how did we do?' even before an item reaches my Middlesex agent's address. (I live in NZ) Material for comedy indeed. Currently waiting 16 days for 2nd class Post inside England, and still waiting while seller asks Ebay or Parcel Post or whatever. Usually it's 2-3 days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
