    So ordered off Amazon, and the expected arrival date is 3rd of July on the Amazon site. On the UPS site the estimated delivery is 7th of July.

    I emailed customer care to ask which date I go by and just got a refund for the shipping! They didn't even try answer my question. They thought I was complaining about the delivery. I'm not unhappy as I got a nice refund.

    Anyone have any idea which delivery date I should go with?

    As UPS are the ones actually delivering the parcel you would have to assume that their estimate is more accurate.

    Just got an update and its now in Cologne, Germany. It was picked up the 29th and its already in Germany so I could have it Thursday hopefully! My other package is with i-parcel and online reviews about them are quite bad so I'm not expecting that package anytime soon!

    Cologne is their main European sortation centre, the delivery will arrive into Ireland in the early hours of this morning. Depending whereabouts you are in the country you may even have it tomorrow.

    I got a few deliveries from Amazon via I-Parcel for the first time in the run up to Christmas. I'd never heard of them before, and like you read the many bad reports about them online. All of the deliveries I had were fairly quick, and were delivered this side by Fastway.

    Out for delivery this morning. And hoping I have no problems with i-parcel. That package hasn't left the US yet.

    Hi, I was wondering how the shipping was and whether you had to pay custom charges?
    I'm spending over $35 which means it has free shipping, does that work for international customers or just in America?
