Does anyone have any experience of online supplier of PS2 games Tornado Games?

My 11 year old grandson wanted Spiderman The Movie 3 PS2 game and a search came up with Tornado Games as the cheapest. It said "next day delivery" and the only way to purchase was through Google Checkout - not a problem as I've purchased that way before.

I received an e-mail to say the item had been despatched on 21st June so grandson eagerly awaiting his next day delivery of the game. It didn't come Friday, nor Saturday, nor today so you can imagine his disappointment.

I checked on Tornado Games site today and the "next day delivery" has now been changed to "posted next working day".

Their shipping page states

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The vast majority of orders are delivered on time, but from time to time items may go missing.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As items can be shipped from different locations and using different services you should assume that delivery will take place between ten to twenty one days after the order was posted, no claim for non-delivery will be processed unless a clear twenty five days have elapsed since posting.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I took them at their word of "next day delivery" and rather stupidly didn't check on their shipping policy before I ordered.

Has anyone used Tornado Games and can tell me how long their order took? I need to be able to reassure my grandson that it's better to wait and pay £17.99 than to have gone to our local shop and paid about £30 to get it immediately (which is what he wanted to do but his mum wouldn't let him). He is going to be bitterly disappointed to hear that he may have to wait up to 25 days to find out if it's going to arrive.
