    Hi, I have ordered a package online and currently it has left Tamworth GB at 3:06 yesterday morning, which is a saturday. It hasn't arrived anywhere yet and today is Sunday. So I was wondering what happens with the package today? My last package left Tamworth one morning and arrived the following day in the afternoon. Does this mean that it could arrive on this Monday? The expected delivery day was rescheduled from the Monday to the tuesday

    It will be tuesday. I believe they don't work on sunday so your parcels will move again Monday night to be delivered Tuesday.

    See I looked online and ups says when it says departure, it means that the package is moving, until it reaches the next depot

    It's probably sitting in a container in East Midlands airport but arrived too late to be scanned so that's why your parcel is in limbo.

    They send it from Tamworth by truck, arriving in Dublin on Sunday, usually. Then on to the delivery depot for delivery Monday or Tuesday.

    Think it's looking more like tomorrow. Last update was when it left Tamworth Saturday morning and hasn't been updated since.

    Out of curiosity, how does it get from England to Ireland? Is it ferry or plane?

    Poster whiterebel (who is a mod on the Online buying forum) in post #5 above says it comes from Tamworth by truck.

    Check the tracking data tomorrow morning, it should tell you what happened after it left Tamworth. If there's no mention of a regional airport like East Midlands then it came by truck.

    I work in UPS. It would have come by truck. If it arrived in Dublin on Sunday then it should have been out for delivery yesterday. I loaded a PC onto a van this morning. If you live in Ballyfermot then it could be yours.
