Anyone still waiting for stuff from China?

archer22

An Post is a phucking disaster and unfit for purpose..even items sent from UK are taking a week to arrive.
Little wonder we can't get a national broadband scheme here...150 years after it's introduction we still don't even have an efficient postal service :rolleyes:

Ordered on 4th August, Sent 5th August and just got mail saying package has arrived in destination country and with local post. Sounds too good to be true.

I’m waiting for a small package. It’s a watch buckle. Was supposed to be mailed on the 25th or June. I’d say it’s lost.

Forwarding via NL due to being a battery pack:



Yet to be seen. From NL but in CN style packaging so will be ignored to a similar degree.

A phone case purchased on the 29th of July delivered on the 14th of August.
Via Singapore post. Not bad at all . That's 15 days.

Above packaged arrived.

Tracking was update at the start of week, so the last report of it been in Ireland was for the transit country.

Within the 4 to 6 weeks expected time frame for deliveries.

33 Days. CN post untracked.

Never say never. I got one after 6 or 7 months, already forgot I bought it (and got a refund too). :cool:

To be fair though. From all the stuff I’ve ordered from China that was only the second one not to arrive.

Things have been arriving quite quickly for me, some as quickly as two weeks

Defenite black hole after opening up somewhere on the way from China to Ireland. Have 3 goody bags in it. The oldest since 9 August. No tracking, just seller reporting dispatch on that date.

griffdaddy

Things seem to be grinding to a halt again for some reason

Sono

Slowing people down from bulk orders for Xmas maybe for selling on

archer22

Item posted in China on 14th of August arrived today...An Post go slow on again by the look of things.

north south east west

I seem to have the same issue, item arrived in Dublin airport at the start of September and nothing since.

Sono

Funny thing is the items I ordered on the same day for €1 have been delivered but the item which cost €50 is held up, lesson learned in a big way

Collibosher

I'm wondering if the delays are delivery unit specific, my stuff comes via Swords (Dublin) depot.

I've received two orders this week that were shipped on September 11th, three weeks ago. Have been fairly consistent for the last six months, or I've been very lucky.

Possibly

I saw someone a few weeks ago on twitter mention that they were told by An Post customer services that Dublin 8 had a weeks delay on packets basically because they were getting overwhelmed by a huge number of packets

Sono

Item in Ireland since the 19th and now updated that it’s in Dublin mail centre so should have it on Monday.
