Yes about 10 working days later.
You should send them an email with the number of your order.
Did you pay via visa and chose a shipping method (kiala,…)?

OK.
FYI: The emails I got from them were coming from: BBiFF <contact@bbiff.com> and signed by a guy called "Jonas".

Not sure of thr price for you guys,  but a simple 250va 230 / 110 transformer screwed to the base of yor cab between the mains and your original supply in will work just fine.

The spreadsheet quoted earlier refers to us voltages of 110v as opposed to eu of 230v,  so all measured amps can be halved approx.

Fully agreed Bomjac, IMHO the cleanest way to go. It's also great when bringing your cabs to shows, we were stacking up these external transformers during RGE/Eurocade and some were used on cabs that I am positive about they can simply be set to 230V and so don't  even need one !
