Order dispatched promptly after placing it and delivered by courier. Courier was going to leave it on my doorstep and leave, but I managed to get the door open before he left. This was a signed for only item which the order said could not be left in a safe place, so a bit surprised he was going just leave it. Nevertheless, I knew he was going to deliver around that time so made sure I was in - lucky I did I suppose.
