Lichfield Hub Delays | Buying

I purchased two very similar objects from two different sellers in the UK both send via Royal Mail to the Lichfield hub. Tracking is weird. The first item was 'delayed' then 'resolved' then 'delayed' again and has sat there for about 5 days now. The other has been marked as sent to the destination country. I figured different batches/containers for shipping, but no explanation of what this 'delayed' business is all about. Ebay says ' oh thank you. Wait until the expected delivery time...' (the usual guff) and Pitney Bowes are just plain idiots who simply will not assist. This is why I hate the slow, expensive, baffling system Ebay uses to ship small items. Yes, I asked the seller to use a better postal service like Royal Mail signed, but nah. Too much trouble. I won't go into the seller's rationale (they all say the same thing anyway) but my question is: what the heck is this problem we have all read about with the Lichfield hub? What are these alleged 'delays'? Does anyone really know?
