My son wanted a special bike for my grandson, and ordered it. He didn’t know it was made in Ireland. But that happened to them - didn’t come in time for birthday, but it did come.
This has been several weeks ago. I don’t think the announcement is anything ominous.
That makes even less sense than the delay. Why would something made in the EU be shipped through post-Brexit UK. Cologne is the European air hub for UPS.
