It's the right box, you can see where I patched one of the holes in the side.
It's also been opened and resealed by DPD.
I can race in peace tonight

If anyone's interested, I've gone through the preview video and put a timeline in for each car showing each driver/car/event/class
You'll only see the timeline on the Youtube channel page so click the 'Watch on Youtube' logo or at the bottom right.

That's a great relief
I would be quite interested to see what is under the correct label, are you able to gently cut the top label off with a scalpel ?
In future we will include a 2nd label inside the box lid, I am not convinced that adding another address label on the outside would have helped in this situation as the
"Manx Independent Carriers imbecile" who changed the label would have probably changed both. But having a copy of the label inside the box lid would have at least confirmed the "identity of the sender and receiver of the parcel" should it need opening.
I might also have a tracker to send you this week to put in for the next Round, if I can get it set up right.

Maybe a label securely fixed to the box with:
'IF UNDELIVERED - RETURN TO XXXXXXXX'

The problem being that they did not consider the original label at all which did have a Sender and receiver address on it, unless it fell or was torn off I cant see any reason for changing it. So in that case why would they consider any other form of label (which is visible).
I still think that this was probably done for malicious reasons, and if so how could you stop the person from changing ANY visible labels ?
Obviously the original order tracking number was working, because that was used eventually to deliver the parcel from the Lost property Office to Kevin.

Zooming in it looks like all the labels are still there, the original from Graham to me, the new label I sellotaped over that, the wrong one MIC stuck over that and the top one...
