Yes, a bit 'batty' is indeed a pleasant change ...and he's not stupid either. I just don't want him putting others off!
I wouldn't put anything past them after some of the stupid things they've said in recent weeks.
I thought the cross border thing was us needing to register with other countries to send to them ...not sure about receiving stuff.
As I understand it from recent newsletters, our vendors need to register with each country that they want to despatch to, and couldn't do the registration until today. Seems it only takes a day or two, but not sure what may have changed for EU countries sending to us, but it could be purely a UK requirement.
There's no obvious warning on the JB site, so I think it'll probably be OK.
