Just been reading back through this thread.

Are you guys aware that thehut.com, sendit and asda are all serviced with orders packed and dispatched by the same company ????

It would be very interesting for someone who works in An Post to explain the process for international mail handling.

Anytime I order off amazon An Post deliver within 5 days so I wouldn't blame them.

Anyone not willing to wait you can get the game for €40 in Xtravision.

Was the US stuff also delivered by An Post ?

It would be very interesting for someone who works in An Post to explain the process for international mail handling.

Funnily enough most orders we dispatch to the UK are delivered in 2-3 days through the reverse combination of An Post to the Royal Mail.

yip, the US stuff arrived via an post. I agree about sending from ireland to the uk, ive sent stuff i sold on ebay to the uk and it took 3 days tops for the buyer to recieve.

Can't argue with the economic times beig bad. PC version won't be out until late June as far as I know so you should get plenty of use out of it !

You guys are still one of the cheapest places for black PS3 DualShock controllers iirc - and are excellent for delivery times.

/ 'buying abroad' guilt.

Ah that answers my question from this thread then, knew there was something fishy going on.

In hindsight i would rather have paid the extra 6 or 7 quid and got it in Xtra Vision on release day, didnt realise it was going to be so cheap there.

Nice saving to be made on Killzone 2 though so i dont mind waiting a few extra days to save 20 quid on it.

Well if your American stuff arrived via An Post a lot quicker than your UK package would that not point to the delay being within the Royal Mail and not the fault of An Post ?

make that "buying abroad, tax dodging, unpatriotic, job costing guilt" shame on you !

/me in a flash of blinding hypocrisy empties the car for trip to Newry

All seriousness though can't blame anyone for looking after no.1 in an economy like this.

not at all, ive tracked and traced the packages with royal mail because they have left the 1950's and allow me to do it, and it leaves the uk that day if not the next morning and once it arrives in no postcode land, ie.here, it's in the hands of the an post gods im afraid.:(

But you said that orders from the USA get here quicker and also come through An Post. I don't think there are seperate clearance procedures for the two countries so I would have thought that implied a delay from the Royal Mail ?
