I'm sure Annette is right about the possible delay being within Pipers - waiting for new stock to come, for example. It is common practice here for mail purchases to come with the rider "Allow 28 days for delivery". Things are certainly not being sent out on packhorse :-) It simply alows minor delays to be incorporated into the routine without special letters of the type "Sorry for the delay. This item is temporarily out of stock but should be with us within a week." having to be sent out. It also stops customers phoning up to find out why they haven't received their order by return of post. Most things I have odered come long before the 28 days rider.
