Zippy.
Don't like to bat on about something so trivial - but you are wrong. The items I ordered from e-bay were listed as 'economy delivery' which was stated as Royal Mail 2nd class.
I ordered the parts on Sunday night (from eBay as it's easier to pay / checkout etc and find what you need) - never occurred to me to look on Apex site - or even less to check JE!
Almost 2 weeks laster - my parts arrived. I did get a 'sorry it's delayed response when I chased up the parts - but still it's not ideal.
Also - I (as most racers I know) carry plenty of spares - I have just started racing a different class (TC Cars at MB Raceway) and needed the parts. Irony was the next time I went to MB - they were back in stock - but i'd already paid Apex.... and had to just wait.
I shop at MB almost all of the time and it was just an eye opener to see what happens when I tried to get parts elsewhere - many lessons learned
