Hi David, Thank you for your order with us. I can see that your order was placed on a new account by yourself and checked out via PayPal to a different delivery address to another normal account and email you previously may have used. The address we sent your order to was provided by yourself at the time of check out, our system does not link the address up with PayPal and if using a new email to create an account it does not link up with other addresses. We have fulfilled your order as specified to the address provided by yourself. If the Royal Mail returns the order to ourselves we will then be able to contact you to arrange re-delivery and confirm the address to send it to. Kind regards The Essential Fly

“The newsletters are really useful. For those of us that are colour blind (1 in 8 men are), it would be great for someone to come up with an inventive of identifying colours to match the hatch!!”
