Anyone still waiting for stuff from China?

Last night I made an official online query regarding the missing package and low and behold it was delivered this morning.

Based on the tracking info it appears that it was in the county here at the main sorting office for over a week but how or why that tracking showed it as being delivered on the 15th june is beyond me. Either the local sorting office kept it or the local postman did and I would doubt it was the postie as I know him personally.

Because somebody scanned it as delivered and then realised they couldn't deliver it and then probably left it among items to be put on shelving for collection where it sat until customer service contacted the office looking for it . At which point it was realised there was never a customer collection notice put in the door for it and so it should be brought out again .

The most likely person at least in Dublin , to do that is the local postie unless it's a particularly large item .

Girlfriend ordered me a jersey at the start of April from China and it only arrived last Thursday

Absolute joke with anpost and these Chinese package deliveries; I ordered 2 items from the same Aliexpress store at the same time and had one deliver to my home address in Ireland and the other to my parcelmotel address and after 2 weeks the parcelmotel item is there today and the one to my Irish address says accepted by last mile courier which usually means it has entered Ireland and anpost have it but I bet it will take weeks more for it to be delivered!

This is just not on in terms of anpost flat out refusing to deliver these packages within a reasonable time frame!

That's the passive aggressive an fussed for you.

they have no intention of changing this scummy policy until the UPU changes kick in

How can RoyalMail in the UK and actually on the same island as us do their job properly and deliver the packages we have paid for an AnPost refuse to and we just need to take that?

Away With The Fairies

I've been waiting 11 weeks for something that was apparently coming from the UK with a two week delivery window. But then looking at the seller's details, it's actually a city in China.

I've ordered stuff in May and packages are slowly coming in.

3 months is a bit much, isn't it?

I've just received a package from AliExpress too this morning. Dispatched March 11th. WEbsite showing that it shipped from China but no update.

Just received something that shipped on 26th January this morning! Was refunded weeks ago.

I've been receiving 1 item per business day for the last 10 days. Two arrived this morning! The oldest one I was waiting on was 31st March, it arrived yesterday.

Nope, and had forgotten all about it.

Shipped on March 5th from China, arrived in Ireland on April 3rd, delivered to my postbox on June 30th!!!
An Post should make it clear what their policy on delivering goods from China is, considering they felt it was okay for their staff to deliver two free postcards per household in the country (basically four postcards per household if they were all sent, considering there's 95,000 households in Ireland according to the CSO, that's a lot of unnecessary deliveries!)

Myself waiting for few items for good many days. Is there any better hope if I go to my local delivery office to know if it's lying there?

I doubt these deliveries are in a local office, more likely some central sorting depot.

Received something today

Posted China (date on envelope) May 8

Accepted by last mile carrier June 6

Must be a mistake in An Post coming in under their 1 month delay target :pac: (which recently seems to have been extended to 2 months plus)

yes. in these things in some An Post depot



they will never make a public statement on their website about their passive aggressive policy stance on this

unfortunately you could say that it is achieving their aim -> putting people off from ordering stuff from China

Lol don't you just love a postal service that doesn't like having too much business. How dare people want to use their services, let's try to put them off. Does make me chuckle.

Ah I've just hcecked that photo is like 5 years old and not even from Ireland. As mr trump would put it, fake news.

Nobody wants them since they lose money on delivering them .

It's why the Americans kicked up a fuss and got the pricing structure changed so that at a minimum Postal services will break even ,

That comes into effect from today for the USPS and 1st January 2021 for other postal services

Yes because it really needs to be a photo from An Post to illustrate what sort of cages they use :rolleyes:

In the same boat as many here, waiting on couple of items, last tracking on items shows up as "Ireland, arrived at destination country airport" this is showing for 4 different orders on different dates in May, into July today ffs.
Are people on here opening PayPal disputes for non delivery to cover themselves? Not fair on the Chinese as they've done their part but no one wants to lose money.
Also is it 45 or 180 days to open a dispute with PayPal seem to get different answers when I search?

seems like you're ok up to 180 days

yes. with an fussed acting the maggot should really allow at least 4 months (if possible in terms of reclaiming time-limits) these days imo

otherwise the Chinese sellers may very well increasingly blacklist Ireland completely and just refuse to send stuff here at all

Seems to be getting better, 2 items yesterday, 4 today, let's see what tomorrow brings!
