    I went on gamestop to get a game that has been out for months and i really wanted it for this weekend... so i ordered it on wednesday at 5pm selected EXPRESS shipping and here we are on thursday at 6.30pm and nothing has been shipped. So now i have to wait until monday. Ordered something on Cex too at the same time on wednesday, that didn't ship either. I usually buy from amazon when im not in too much of a rush but i decided to go with irish sites this time because i wanted my stuff in a hurry. I cant understand how they can get away with just waiting to ship it especially since i paid for the premium postage and their website says it's in stock

    Ordering at 5pm Wednesday only gives 4 working hours to process , and ship in time for next day delivery.

    Main logistics deadline is 12 noon for next-day delivery.

    Check your tracking number for an update.

    checking again, the order was made at 15.40 so i'm curious to hear from them the excuse why it wasn't sent out today given they had A LOT of time with the order.

    Next-day shipping usually has to be done before either 12 or 3 depending on the courier. Later that that is 2 day, pretty much always.

    Only two sites that I use have consistently shipped the next day.

    As a general rule, it's not worth paying extra for next day in Ireland, even paying full whack to a courier won't guarantee your delivery, as a matter of fact.

    It will all depend on the shipping route and container loading. There is probably a daily delivery service between Cork, Dublin, Belfast and Galway but local deliveries might be a Wednesday only ~ so it may depend on you catching that or waiting for that.

    Anything i order on any other site in Ireland i typically get within 2 working days, the postman has come and gone today and it still hasn't arrived. 7 days after i ordered it. Cannot believe this after choosing the premium postage and everything.
