Delivered quicker to the UK than a UK product!
Was slightly longer than my original but was able to cut down. A lot cheaper than one on a UK site, even with shipping. No issue at all with delivery to the UK. Infact, it was ordered after another related product I purchased in the UK and was received before the uk one! Also, excellent tracking each step of the way. Puts the UK delivery system to shame! Really pleased. Would order from again. Thank you.
