      I've got some alcohol too - usually mix mine with Corona lemonade/soda water or if the mood takes me - drink it neat with mini icebergs !!!

        In the end I complained to Amazon as the seller hadn't said it was coming from the states, the seller agreed and on sight of my card from the PO they refunded me .
        The next time I pre paid the duty at purchase, after that it was plain sailing and the cutter was still cheaper than here in the UK, where there was no stock .


        Hi Lee , think your quite right to do this.

        Thanks every one who commented.
        Seeing the news reports that say China has not handled this honestly just makes people more concerned.
        I if and when the parcel arrives will do as Dave and Tim suggest, and not in the house either.
        John .
        Just make sure when it turns up it does not come through your front window with a brick attached, and that it is wearing a face mask - if it has a face mask, dark glasses with a petrol bomb in its hand you are safe, it is a Hong Kong protester...:sick:

          I've had a refund out of the blue from a Chinese seller today for an eBay purchase that hasn't arrived yet.

          They reckon their parcel was turned back from customs. May not be related (or even true I suppose) but it made me wonder.

            Whose customs ?, UK or did they stop it leaving China ?

              Their message didn't say, and I suppose that's the important bit.

                I've had a look at my small stash, I reckon I can weather the storm. Assuming Corona doesn't get me of course.

                      Their economy will take a big hit me thinks.

                          Apparently "Dettol" kills off Corona Virus. It's listed on the label. Wash your kit in that, it'll make the box a bit soggy but there is always a downside.

                            Been drinking it for weeks, turns your water a funny colour, is that correct. I will now wash my kit in it although I understand it stings like the devil, or is that the bleach :thinking:

                                A hospita doctor I know once told me they had a guy who attended A&E because he kept having a bath in TCP antiseptic liquid, never mind how it felt, must have cost him a fortune. :anguished:
