Post by: Rat Catcher on February 09, 2021, 11:10:55 pm

Estimated date of arrival at the post office

21 Feb 2021 - 26 Feb 2021, 12 - 17 days remaining

The forecast is not 100% certain, and is based on 41 packages delivered in the last 60 days

Hector Grey lived in Donaghmede, where  The Beeches houses are, Streamville House IIRC.
Panel might confirm it.
