    I'd say its somewhere in Laos.

    There's a chance you will get it infact.

    And there's also a chance you won't get it at all.

    Depending on the person that delt with the package at the postal service they may have taken the time to look up the address or just thrown it in the unmailable pile depending on how they felt that day,

    having worked in a sorting office I know this first hand

    I have even seen letters with just the peoples names on the envelope,
    like there that importnat that everyone should know them

    Contact the seller, you might have to start a dispute on eBay if it doesnt turn up.

    It depends on where your from, most mail is sorted by machine/computer so the town/village name should be enough without needing the county, unless it's somewhere like Milford which could be Cork or Donegal.

    haha had ireland and my town in laois on it... and the sorting centre is in laois i believer so they should sure know :(

    Ah sorry I read it as country. Might be ok then unless its a common town name.

    2 weeks no package doe...looking bad :(

    me too, if it had ireland on it you'll get it eventually,
    I had a registered letter delivered to a shop around the corner from me
    when the package clearly had my address on it and I was wondering where the package was,

    that was one postman that couldn't deliver

    How do you know if you didn't get the package yet? :confused:

    As long as it's the right country on the address they will figure out the county.


    I once got a packet from UK, where only the Ir from Ireland was readable (address was written on plastic envelope and was smeared).

    The packet arrived after four weeks, was sent first to Iran where they were so clever to figure out that it was meant for Ireland and were nice enough to send it in the right direction.
    There.
