It took a while, as we learned the hard way that shipping Lithium batteries is prohibited, even the tiny Q batteries are considered "dangerous goods" . Only a battery placed in the camera itself can be shipped: that apparently removes all danger. Other batteries were confiscated and destroyed, the rest was fortunately returned. Hope this helps others to avoid this trouble!
Q7 kit (minus batteries) arrived! Everything in great shape, very pleased with it. Thanks Haris, pleasure dealing with you!

What a nightmare! Thankfully Matthijs was extremely patient and is now the happy owner of an almost complete Q7 kit!
I expect those 'destroyed' batteries are now for sale on eBay and get posted to the buyer!
The online guidance puts all responsibility on the sender, not on PO staff so I really should have checked what the 'size/quantity' requirements were for sending these items.

Q-S1 sold now, but the Q7 is still available along with the rest of the kit. I'd want £410 posted (RMSD) for the lot, looking at these prices (posted by 1st Class Signed) for the separate bits:
Q7 - £130
01 - £85
02 - £70
03 - £50
06 - £100
Bag - £10
Q-S1 and 01 lens sold (same buyer therefore given first option).
Since the Q kit is going, the mount adapter will be £110 posted on its own.
