Is it on a plane somewhere ?...cos if it left at 00:24 on the 2nd and they are 7 hours ahead of us, it should have arrived in the UK by now surely ?..

Likely it is by now sat in the UK in a large shipping container, waiting for Parcelforce unpack it, then scan it in to their system, to update the tracker to 'in the UK'.
With the current technology which is available, you would think these parcel tracking things would show you on a map where the plane or the parcel van is. It can't be that difficult to log which aircraft it was loaded onto and the aircraft (and ships) are tracked throughout their journeys. All you need is the registration number and you can watch its progress on a map.
You don't suppose they sent them via a 'slow boat from China'
