You need to remember its this side that cause the issues. The agent in S'ton has probably done their bit, its the agent they instruct this side that are useless !!

Our staff got from UK to Aus in 29 days !! It got 78km in another 32 days, dealing with incompetent rude staff along the way.

Like you say keep smiling its worth it in the end.
