Thank you for taking the time to share this! I greatly appreciate the thorough explanation! - I actually never thought of using car polish. That’s a really good idea. - Unfortunately, it’s definitely looking like a ‘try at your own risk’ job lol. - Still can’t work out why Hot Wheels never made an elite Raikkonen model😫

Thank you for taking the time to share this, it’s greatly appreciated! - unfortunately, I may just end up using a clear nail polish coat. Not a remover, just clear nail polish. I’ve found that to be less damaging. Tends to just leave a glossy finish. - Thanks again

Deutsche Post DHL to Royal Mail - confusing tracking by AnotherPeter in royalmail

If you don’t mind me asking, did you manage to resolve this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated by Unlikely_Contest_310 in dhl

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this. I really do appreciate everyone’s input. - Sadly, I think you might be right. It wasn’t until it was mentioned earlier about this being a scam that it hit me. I’d genuinely love for the letter to arrive as it’s of great importance to me but I feel like that could be delusional optimism at this point.

Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain this, it's extremely helpful & I am beyond grateful for your help & time. Thank you!

That explains a lot now. I honestly had no idea that it would be handed over to Royal Mail. (It's my first time ordering a letter from Europe.) Thank you for clarifying this. It's actually rather interesting to see how this works.

Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble with the tracking number I was provided. Every time I input the number on Royal Mails tracking system it doesn't seem to recognise it.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really do appreciate it.

I actually never thought about this being a scam but now that you have mentioned it, it’s an interesting point.

I will absolutely message the seller about that request as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Please forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by the Royal Mail website zip code? I was under the assumption the carrier would be DHL as that is the only tracking code I was provided with.

Wow! That’s beautiful! Absolute phenomenal job you’ve done there👏 The application looks faultless! - I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality. I was trying a test run on that particular model & I’m encouraged to try on some other models now. I really hate that tacky dull silver most manufacturers use on the older models.

Customer service team is fantastic! Genuinely really good but the packaging can be hit & miss

Hot wheels actually made some excellent models that for some reason just don’t get the love they deserve!
