Evri, worst courier ever!
In the last couple of months I've ordered some stuff from AliExpress, they are generally a 'get what you pay for' sort of experience, if the price seems too good to be true, then, it probably is, but, I had some great bargins from there, but my problem has been with 'Evri' formerly 'Hermes'... -

For years I've be quite disciplined in that I only build one kit at a time, being quite a quick builder this doesn't usually present a problem, of course I've had lapses where I've taken a break from one build to start another, usually for a technical reason, needing a part or a paint colour or...- Miko
