Is Gatwick MC just a sorting area or is this for international mail sorting? Just thinking the item may have been sent from overseas - wrong plug, fake item etc.

Ta.

Mailing Centre, probably drop shipped from chyna.

make a complaint to ebay the item says it comes from within the UK

googling gatwick mc suggest things sit their for up to a week.

That seller you linked doesn't have 500+ feedback, it's not 100% and the bad review was for an apparently not new 'new' frother.

Scrap that, that's just another suggested seller

 

[EGuitarStar]

Contact the seller and ask them the questions, that way if there are any issues you can inform eBay it is not as described. Ask via eBay.

Yes I’ve seen this when I’ve ordered from AliExpress. It’s shipped and arrives at a big sorting centre near the airport to be distributed locally.

Why don’t you wait until it arrives rather than wasting your energy around something that may not be an issue?

 

[Kenai]

Don't worry about it, just wait until the item arrives and see if it's ok.

If it's not, raise it with eBay.

If it's OK, no dramas.

No point stressing over 'what if' before it even arrives.

Would not worry about it it's just a mail sorting depot, it may be used a lot for international parcels due to its location but I doubt they don't also process in country post

It's Gatwick Mail Centre in Crawley. The nearest mail centres to Chichester are Southampton and Gatwick so it's very reasonable for it to have gone there. The international stuff goes through HWDC in Slough.

Gatwick likes Milky Coffee. Obvious really!

I've been lurking 10 years waiting for the perfect moment to spring my trap and I've been sussed immediately. Back to the drawing board for me.

I’ve posted loads of stuff recently, plenty to the south coast and it’s all gone via Gatwick MC.

 

[punky_munky]

Most things I send from Brighton ago via there. Nothing to worry about

 

[t2na]

I live pretty close to Chichester and most things I post usually go via Gatwick MC as well, wouldn't worry about it.

It stands for Motorcycle Club.

Gatwick MC is just like Sons of Anarchy.

A member for 10 years and your opening post is sensible, good advice.. I can see why you were hesitant
