There was a lovely little note in there from Andy, which was a nice touch and makes me happy.
Also, it was delivered to me at work (the postman does this if I'm not home, since I live and work on the same postie route) and no customs charges to deal with. The last update I had was yesterday, confirming it had arrived in the UK, then it just turned up somewhat nonchalently given the enormous build-up!
Only disappointment so far is nothing to do with Andy or the product; my stuff tastes rank! I guess it will vary depending upon vape style/temperature/blend etc. Looking forward to experimenting!
I'd already bought my UK power supply converter, and have some other bits and pieces on the way, including one of Ed's Pipes and some aromatherapy oils. Fun fun fun!
