ebay fast passes - left it too late?

[excited mum]

Can anyone tell me how long it took to receive them from ebay? I am going to DLP on Sunday and only just discovered these!

Does £15 for 4 seem a bit steep? Some from france are a bit cheaper but fear they will they will take longer to arrive.

Is it a buy-it-now listing? If it is, if you tell the seller to send it off first class tomorrow, you should be okay?

Mine came from France and I paid £10 for 4 passes.

it is a buy it now, how long did they take to come from france? They have offered to post to hotel, but not sure what chances I will have off receiving them there.

It arrived 3 days after I paid the guy, so quite quick really (but I wasn't in a rush). But in your case, I wouldn't take the risk of buying it from France.

I bought fast passes from France and they took 3 or 4 working days to arrive. They are a lot cheaper then uk ebay but if you are going on Sunday, I would do a 'buy it now' and get them asap. £15 is quite a lot but if the parks are busy, it will be money well spent. You can always sell them on ebay when you come back. You could pay for Special Next Day delivery as it's guaranteed to get there by 9.00 the next day - I think it costs about £4.50.

I would buy from the UK, especially with the xmas mail. It'll be worth spending that little more for piece of mind

We bought ours from a seller in France and they took a similar amount of time that others said - 3 or 4 working days. We bought 6 with a buy it now offer of £2 each for our stay over the Christmas week.

That said I would have paid more and wouldn't have thought £15 was unreasonable if it meant possibily avoiding queues of 2hrs! I see it as insurance against unreasonably long queues with a 4 year old. Knowing that we should be able to get a few rides in with the fastpasses even if they could be late in the day is good enough.

If the parks are quiet and we don't need the fastpasses I'd be too elated to worry about £15 of wasted money!
