It arrived at my local post office Monday morning at like 5.40 am and I received today. So it spent pretty much a month in customs I'm guessing and no customs charge as expected, which would have delayed it even further. Just be patient.

Yes this is why I'm worried.
According to yours it arrived at local delivery office 2 day's after tracking said it left processing center hwdc. Mine has been stuck there for 6 days now.

Is there likely to be a customs charge on it? Not sure how Royal Mail operate when there is is but I know they charge a handling fee etc which I'm guessing involves paper work. It would also be delayed with a shortage of staff at your local sorting centre before it then goes to your local post office.

Yes custom charge is likely.
Did you're tracking not update to say at delivery office after leaving hwdc? Or was there a step Inbetween hwdc and delivery office?

Yes it did. I just didn't want to post my location in a public forum. It left hwdc, it was then sorted at another place and sent to my local post office for delivery. The only time it didn't update was when it was out for delivery. It just stated that it had arrived at my local post office at 5.40 am this morning. It's now updated as delivered.

Yes that sounds normal.
Even if there is customs charges I still expecting it to get to sorting office but it's fell off space of earth after leaving hwdc

Yeah, thanks Grateful.

I am actually tracking another as the guy who posted it was posting two items to the UK and I didn't know which one was mine so I was tracking them both. The other one seems to be in the same place yours is Xeno
in the fact that it left hwdc on the 13th at 3pm and there has been no updates since. I can't imagine it has a customs charge either as mine didn't so I can only think it's a staffing shortage or something.
