Harrrrrrrrumph!The tracking statuses suggest they didn't even make it to my local depot properly (the first step in the process). Happily, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Slaav's and Potatoes' are both shown as being out for delivery today. At 1am this morning they were also showing as 'delayed in transit', like everybody else. Looks like myHermes tracking isn't particularly accurate. Fingers crossed for the remaining deliveries tomorrow or Saturday!
Sorry all, it was a bit of a panic when the mailing house ditched us and I scrambled for the first company I thought of. The missus uses this bunch for her eBay shenanigans but I think we'll avoid them in the future.

The odd thing is my address is only about 10 miles from 6 pot, so who knows what Hermes have done.
I was destined to win the Hermes delivery race, because I went down to Gruffy's for the more urgent part of my order and the rest coming by Hermes wasn't time critical.Gruffy said:
That's the race cut stuff, which is snug to say the least. I'd like a bigger smiley but their artwork templates have safe zones for the smaller sizes which means this was as big as we could go. The quality is first rate. It's a match for the Rapha bits that I have.

No need to apologise to me Gruffy, you've been an absolute star doing this! I used to work for a courier so I know how these things happen, in fact it was my job to make sure they didn't in my hub! ukbabz said:
Mines now moved status to a national hub, so hoping it'll be sorted tomorrow 
Cheers again for organizing gruffy!!
Yay! Mine too.Cheers again for organizing gruffy!!

On its way to the courier - 07/05/2015 - 12:31 - Sorted at national hub
They don't half take their time updating their 'live' tracking feature, though... 
Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow then.

Three have now been delivered, including one that had the same transit status as the rest right up until delivery. Looks like the tracking information is a bit useless.
Mine is here chaps!!! No transport hubs for me Many thanks Gruffy - I was going to PM you but wanted to confirm to everyone else that they really really really are on their way even if you haven't received yours yet!
I can't find the post to quote now but didn't someone predict that there might be a few people who, having been optimistic in their sizing estimates, offered up their jerseys for resale? Well...
I have a Race Proven Tempest in 3/Medium. For those that don't remember the Tempest from Gruffy's original posts, it's essentially a cool weather, water repellent yet aero fit, short sleeve jersey. Very much like the Castelli Gabba but for quite a bit less. It tops Bioracer's range and bridges the gap between an aero fit summer jersey and a long sleeve winter jersey, in the same way the Gabba does and with the same ability to repel rain. Design temperature range 5-18 C. Full details here
Sadly though the aero cut doesn't suit the SixPotBelly physique as well as the jerseys I ordered in the slightly more relaxed Bodyfit cut, and I'm not sure how much use it would get. On me, it's a little tighter across the shoulders (and a little looser across the chest) than ideal. It's a great jersey, just not so great on me.
So far, I've only worn it to try it on (over a base layer)and the tags are still attached. If anyone who regrets not ordering when the window was open would like it instead of me then drop me a mail via my profile. Cost was £87.50 plus postage. Otherwise I'll hang on to it in case I buff up over the summer and find it fits better come autumn (well, you never know ).
edit - just looked at it again at there weren't any tags. I haven't cut any off anyway, and it's as I received it this morning.
