i had these tickets sent through this shipping service from the U.K. in manchester to be sent to my house in the sf bay area, usa. the package was supposed to arrive yesterday at 10am PST and has not arrived.

this service is a neutral party type of thing where the seller gives the package to TNT, the buyer gives the money to TNT, then TNT sends the package to the buyer. when i am satisfied i release the money from the TNT agent to give to the seller.

their station where i sent the money is located here:
Manchester Depot
419 Bury New Road
Manchester
M25 1AA

Has anyone used this process or did i get tricked into something my instincts should have steered me away from?

Just hoping some one from manchester or the u.k. minght have heard of this.
