OMG… it has supposedly arrived at Caddx!!
I have emailed them to check!
Woohoo… It’s not lost!
Over 4 months to get to Caddx… Patience is indeed a virtue
This is more epic than taking The Ring to Mordor. 
So it arrived in Hong Kong about 4 weeks ago… unfortunately it needed to be in mainland China to be repaired. It could not be shipped to the mainland though as it has a battery in it. (a really small one, ffs)
So it sat in HK for 4 weeks whilst I went to the US and back. I didn’t contact them during that period since I would not be at home to receive a hopefully repaired camera.
I just finished talking to them since I got back and they reckon they won’t be able to get it to the mainland for several months!
Instead I’ve been offered, and have accepted, a brand new peanut at a hefty discount.
I’ve gone for a proper courier for delivery, lets hope that this new one has more luck with travelling the world!
