Different information on different tracking websites

    I ordered a package from China. It was posted using netherlands post, postnl or something like that.

    The tracking on their website shows that its still in transit.

    The tracking on a different website shows that it has arrived in the country since yesterday.

    An post shows nothing.

    I thought that I would give it a day and see if postnl would be updated but it hasn't. It's still showing that its in transit.

    What should I go with? If it's in the country, i presume i will get it sometime next week, which I'm OK with as I'm going on holidays the week after and would really like it on holidays.

    But then I don't want to be disappointed, expect it next week and it doesn't show up. It was a chance I took when ordering it from China. Or should I stop being paranoid?

    I seen that several time before, if you look at the tracking you can see is only a couple of days from when it left China until it say arrived in the country, as far as I remember in most cases it took another week or 2 to get here.

    Thanks, it left China last week. But then the other website has me confused with it saying its in the country.

    If you don't have it, then its "still in transit"

    If its arrived in Ireland then it may be subject to customs exam and that can take a few days. If its a fake product or has unauthorised brand name on it, expect it to be seized.

    Depending on cost, vat and duty may be due.

    Its not shipped from NL, just labeled via Post NL and routed via them. Arrival probably means its at the dutch fulfilment cetre. You still have London then Dublin/Portlaoise most likely.
