I suppose, next stop will be Brussels for home delivery in Oudenaarde. Don't know yet. It might visit Paris first. For a romantic walk in Montmartre. Or Barcelona. Maybe Prague. It was initially mentioned 'delivery by Wednesday 29th 6pm the latest' in the first tracking report. It's written 'delivery unknown' now. My 1.9 kgs flew over the channel to Stansted to breath some fresh air, after the taste of sauerkraut in Köln and smelly Vieux Gouda from Veldhoven. Fedex is doing its best to increase the environmental footprint impact of my 1.9 kgs (just a photo album). I already feel guilty about the future generations. I am one of the millions to blame for using online shopping damaging the ozon layer.
It could have been delivered yesterday. It's anybody's guess whether it'll be here at all tomorrow. If not, Friday nobody's home and they'll have to deliver it on Monday. Is this an exception or the rule of international courier companies? Are they stupid, pardon my French... Do suppliers know how their couriers work? Do they give a shite? Who knows? I'll tell you when or if it arrives. In the meantime, see for yourselves. A picture is worth a thousand words. Click for larger and readable views.
UPDATE: I was right after all. The good news is that they managed to get it (I hope) very close and I'll probably have it by today. The bad news is I was right about Paris. It really traveled from Stansted to Charles De Gaulle - Roissy! Only difference now was that it wasn't shipped to Brussels for final delivery, but to St-Denijs - Westrem, around Ghent, about 20km from where I live. We're getting closer...
It might have been Brussels after all where the real problem was. "No ways lead to Brussels" sort of thing... With so many Eurocrats living in the most fake and pretentious city on the planet, who wouldn't avoid it???
See for yourselves hereunder! I updated the charts...
