Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope

Is there anyone going to Maelstrom this weekend who will be able to collect a tent for me from a depot in Smethwick? Apparently the location is somewhere near the West Bromwich Albion stadium.

The weekend before last I ordered a nice new Bell tent to replace my leaky Khyam (not Moonbase Alpha, the small one). Yesterday, after some pestering, I finally managed to get a tracker number for the delivery. Sadly the delivery company was German and the information it gave was no help whatsoever. Today, becoming rather worried, I did some detective work and found out what has happened to my tent.

It has been held in the Smethwick depot since Monday.

It has been held in the Smethwick depot since Monday because the address on the parcel reads "B1" ... yes, that's it, that's the entire address, that's apparently the Dutch equivalent of my home address ... GAAAAARGH! F**KMONKEYS!

*breathes*

I am not a happy bunny.

But back to the begging ... can anyone pick my tent up for me either tonight (before 6.30pm) or tomorrow during the day, and bring it with them to Maelstrom?

Please

If you can please post here (with contact details if poss) or give me a call on 01293 512513.

Any idea what time the depot is open until? I could pick it up after work, as I am going to be on the M6 near Brum tonight but it'd be about 5.30 before I could get there.

Thank you very much Nick, you're a lifesaver.

Sorted - I've found it on the map, it's over the M5 side of the area (and right next to the junction), which makes it easier, with my plans tonight.
