Gents... Look!!!
I mean the tracking they provided doesnt work at this point but handy its apparently on the way home.
lol, tracking not working
At this point I won't be shocked if the tracking is bs & it goes "missing" in the post. I hope it does it make it to you though and that it actually works

It took them a full 3 weeks in testing apparently so it better work
at the end I'll do you a screenshot of my mailbox and the total number of emails exchanged. It's a lot. I told them my address no less than 6 times during this ordeal after they requested it filling out the same information repeatedly so I'm fairly sure they know where I live now. They did it via FedEx on the way out there. It looks like they have sent it back via some obscure courier I've never heard of.In fact let me show you:
Aya to me:
Me to Aya
I think I have lost some emails i sent at the beginning but they are in the email strings. I also got my number of months wrong, its been 159 days so far or 5 months and 8 days. During that time about 70 or so emails have been exchanged

Ok so that tracking website is showing a royal mail tracking number. I put it into the royal mail website and its showing a tracked 48 service. Tracked 48 from china? We shall see... I'm not convinced.
Could the device already be somewhere back here in the uk? I mean who knows at this point. Ill give it a week or so and see what happens. It doesnt look overly promising when i paid the 250 or whatever $ it was up front because they demanded fedex service which they told me was for shipping and return shipping.
The device was in beautiful condition when it was sent as well lets see if 1) it ever comes back 2) it is even the same device and is fixed 3) What condition its in after 5 odd months being seemingly passed about.

Hope it actually works out for you after all that hassle. I have RM travelling numbers for items coming from Aliexpress but they are only active once the item is handed over after UK customs. The service used to get it here seems to vary massively, my PS5 dual sense batteries are expected in May (didn't pay attention to that when ordering) but the sticks will be here in the next week, they just cleared customs.

At the risk of putting a downer on the Conso0le finally returning, I've had the phantom tracking numbers before from China. When they know they've f'd up they make it look like everything is fine, right up until you complain (again).
It is possible they used one of the Chinese 24hr couriers, or piggy backed off a FedEx return flight.
In other news, I fixed the Doorbell with a new micro-usb socket (courtesy of cpc-farnell as the owner wanted it back before this weekend as they are going away) and it charges and works as it should. My first 'real' fix for someone else.

Its probably going to have to go but I kinda feel bad selling it as if anything ever goes wrong its 1) going to cost the earth to sort 2) will take a lifetime being sorted.
There isn't really an up side to them. It's not like they are even cheap to offset it.
If it works on the RM site as a Tracked 48 & looks like a RM number, it'll probably be Canaio.
Aliexpress and most of the China tat sellers use them these days.
They basically just ship a container over & re-label once here.
