    Took 3 days to get from NJ USA to Heathrow.
    Three more days later, parcel force site tells me "COVENTRY TRANSIT PARCELFORCE"

    Did they learn geography at school???

    Emailed PF asking why the journey north. Let's see their explanation

    I send that much stuff to guys on here should really do a spread sheet with names address for myself so make it easier to send stuff I suppose special as am always having to empty my inbox and my memory is shocking at times seem weird to me too three time the distance in the wrong direction ... maybe more but as you say from that direction it is away from Birmingham

    Tiny update

    No reply yet to my email but the tracking entry has removed the Heathrow portion and replaced it with Arrived at UK International Hub

    Did some research and their "HUB" is actually in Coventry, right next to the airport.

    forgot about the old airport did not realise was still being used would have thought the runway would not be up to it as it has been around since the mid 30's and was used as a airforce based in the second world war .. then a flying school .. and even had a few commercial flight running from there .. but you don't hear that much about it really .. thought it would have come in via Birmingham airport much large airport is Birmingham
