    Yes probably based in China or Hong Kong, They trick you on ebay aswell by putting the UK flag on the item photo.

    Well worth pointing out.

    The information is there but is not immediately apparent.

    It's a shame there isn't a setting in your Amazon account to "show items from Amazon only". If I wanted to buy items from unknown third parties, I'd use ebay.

    There is. Filter your results by Department and click 'Amazon.co.uk' as the seller.

    Regarding delivery times I've never found it a problem as it's easy to check before you commit and if one slips though you can cancel straight away.
