It's probably been delivered to a company which then forwards it onto you using RM (in this case Tracked)

I brought the item on Monday and it was dispatched Tuesday. The Royal Mail status showed change, Pre-advice Received on Wednesday and yesterday it reached a Royal Mail depot and now its at Gatwick hopefully on its way to Crawley rather than the airport ha. Seriously I'm totally confused to be honest :sad: I'll ask the seller whats gone on when I receive the item.

Hello. I got the parcel lunchtime and it had a Tracked 48 sticker on it. Theres no sign of any other sticker on it. The sender says his freight handler/forwarder dealt with it.

Certainly possible if they are a large business. Depending on the unit size, value and longevity, It could be cheaper to send items in bulk to the UK in a container and then get another company to send them onwards when you get orders. It doesn't mean they are falsely advertising as the country of origin remains the same.
