I have another two weeks or so to commence a dispute with eBay. If I await until the seller sends another hull plus the estimated four weeks plus postage time then the time would elapse to commence an eBay dispute. Hopefully, the tracking number he provides will be valid. If not then a dispute will be started to protect myself.

I had been expecting the hull to arrive (supposedly sent EMS) any day and now I find out that effectively I have at least another four to six weeks to wait its arrival. Very disappointed.

Yesterday I had a scale rudder (hydraulic push/pull type) for the large hull arrive from China with bolts missing. The inadequate packaging had ripped open intransit and Aussie Post had retaped the box. Luckily the main components had not escaped.
