    Anyone ever order from Ukraine? I ordered shoes just before Christmas, the parcel says sent to Ireland on the 05/01/19. No sign with an post tracking.

    Any advice is appreciated

    I made numerous posts about my item coming from the Ukraine on the page before this one.

    My item was posted 5th Dec, only arrived yesterday. Tracking didn't update once it left Ukraine, An Post said on Monday that it definitely never made it to Ireland. Then it turned up yesterday, tracking had miraculously updated and backdated.

    Now it seems 3 important letters posted out to me during December failed to arrive at all.
    One was for a dental app for our son an appointment we waiting a year for ... a hospital appointment for me and another from the bank.

    I have an important question for people complaining about not getting their parcels from overseas, Did the sender write Ireland at the bottom of the address on the package? People were complaining before that when they added eircode to their address their parcels got send to Canada but it turns out IRELAND or EIRE wasn't written on the envelope FACEPLAM


    Faceplam :D

    They just arrived! Still no tracking online, which is very strange. Anyway, delighted :)

    I received an order from the UK that was dispatched on January 3rd today. Delivery normally takes 3-5 days.

    Another UK order was handed over from CAE to An Post early on the morning of Wed 9th. Should have been delivered the following day. It was eventually scanned by An Post 9.30pm Thursday and delivered to me yesterday (Monday).

    I received another order from the first company above today, which was dispatched on January 22nd. It looks like things may be getting back to normal.

    Not sure if all DSUs are on the new hours (7-7). Old ones were dire for anyone working normal hours.

    One near my folks was open till 9pm over Christmas, and there were Q's up till 9pm, handy for people that needed to collect stuff, it's back to 7 to 7 again, has been that time for ages (years, I'm sure)
