On the 29th January he contacted me to say it hadn't arrived. I said that I was surprised, told him the date I had posted it and would look into it.
He replied with "Let's give it another 2 weeks- have had other stuff arrive from UK which arrived promptly"
SO I have been investigating at my end, and nothing has turned up,
got another email from him today stating "STILL NO PARCEL - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH IT"
Now he was the one who wanted to wait another 2 weeks, I did offer to send him another one. I feel though that he doesn't believe me about post going missing. I ahve had mail this week dated 2nd November, I have had half the Christmas cards I posted not been delivered, lots that were sent to me not delivered either
