If I was a psychoticly angry scammer who got hosed with I'd probably just throw the loving thing out (if not destroy it). There must be a brave UK goon willing to do a bit more of the dumpster diving.

Actually, if we could retrieve it, it might be kinda badass to re-package it and send it to him again... and again... and again.

The tracking page is now showing two status remarks for today: Regulatory Agency Clearance Delay for 4 am, and a blank update for 2:31 pm.

This could be a sign of package motion. If you look at the listing for April 29th, there is also a blank entry for "Package status" right before it went to the ramp. Maybe it's getting ready to leave the ramp or something?

EDIT: Well, right before meaning "eight hours before", but still, looks positive to me.

My guess is that it's in transit from Stansted to Colindale tonight, and it will be delivered tomorrow morning.
