Office is too far to be within restrictions, as is Fastway.

There has been someone in the office the odd day, so hopefully they'll be there when it delivers.

I was hoping to ring Fastway as soon as I can see that they have received the package.

For now, all it's saying on Fastway tracking is Label 'PF00000xxxxx' does not have any scans.

Did anyone have this, that actually got updated once Fastway received the package?

Cheers

Yeah my TrackPack said this

It was only when it arrived in Dublin that the Fastway tracking kicked in and stoped saying no scans.

Thanks. Mine still only has the first line of what yours has. 7th May - though I only got the email on 21st May.

Will just keep an eye on it.

Ordered on the 3rd and got the email today.
Only ordered 4 items, collections for the kids but looks like all are on the way.

Keep the faith!

My 2nd batch came today. I wish I bought much more now. I didn't think the orders would be fulfilled. If I knew what I know now, I'd probably have spent 300 quid on books and stock them up for gifts in the future.

muckisluck

I got this message but no money refunded to my Paypal account yet. Thats two weeks ago! Anyone else in the same boat

OnLooker

Finally got a shipped email. Order March 3rd. Only 1 book cancelled so happy out

Mr squiggles

3rd March here too. Got the shipped email today. 2 items cancelled out of 16. None of the sets I ordered were cancelled though, so I'm happy with that.

GalwayGrrrrrl

Me too, ordered 3rd March, shipped today with one book cancelled. Exciting!!

podge018

Ordered 4th March so expecting a mail soooooooooooooon.

update: 4 packages have arrived in Ireland.

We've received your parcel in our central distribution hub. It will be with you in 1-2 working days, depending on the delivery service timeframe you requested.

Anyone else who ordered 3rd still waiting... ��

Finally got email after ordering on the 3rd March 3 books and I set cancelled, 5 books and 1 set being sent small bit annoyed with that but what can you do.

Yep, and I'd say there's a few of us

R11

It seems most people getting dispatch emails lately have items cancelled. I reckon they made a balls of stock. Fully expecting some cancelled items.... If I get any at all

sydthebeat

ordered on the 17th march, still sitting patiently here

SorenLorensen

My first order on 3rd March finally shipped today - second order from 5th March arrived last week. Two things cancelled from current order, can't complain though.

Meeeeeeee! So frustrating, especially given someone posted on here who ordered on the 10th and their books were shipped.

same here - ordered the 3rd march and still no sight of my order... just hoping it is processed soon..

Hearvee

I ordered 3rd march as well, just received a mail to say 17 out of 20 items have shipped, so hang in there.

They gave me three tracking links so I assume that means three packages.

Quigs Snr

2 orders 3rd and 5th totalling 200 euro.. not a dicky bird yet on either... and I called them too.

living

I just got the email (I ordered on March 4th). They only cancelled a collection of 3 books, the rest has been despatched.

Don't give up guys!

Uncle Pierre

I'm actually more and more giving up hope, not on the grounds that they'll never send stuff out, but because my workplace (which I put as delivery address) is now only open two mornings a week, so chances are there'll be nobody there to deliver it.

Driving there to wait outside when the "out for delivery" mail arrives is not really an option. Can't sit for potentially hours outside the building, when I'm supposed to be working from home all along. Can't even bring the laptop with me and hook it up to my mobile phone for connectivity, because the battery on it is banjaxed.

Also, there have been times in the past when I've actually received a delivery a day before I even got the "out for delivery" mail.

Starting to wonder now how long it'll be before I get a refund after items are returned to sender, rather than wonder about how long it'll be before they're sent out in the first place!

Arrived today, 3rd March order date. I was beginning to lose hope but got there in the end

Did you give a phone number when ordering? Mine came with fastway last Saturday and the driver rang 30 minutes before he arrived as he was unsure of where our house was. Once it shows on the Fastway system give them a call and I'm sure the driver will be accommodating.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure it will apply in my case, though. Workplace is quite a large building that no courier in the area will have any problem finding. Am going to try get in touch with the courier company (looks like it'll be Fastway, based on whatever everybody else is saying) when the "out for delivery" mail arrives all right, but am getting used to the idea too that I might just be out of luck in all the circumstances.

It will be fastway and you will get the fastway tracking number before it shows.

Send email to them with tracking number and "Change address" in the subject line and that may be the best option.

They should be able to make the change on their system.

If no response, follow it up the minute you get the confirmation it has arrived in fastway (I got email today to say that they had it)

Uncle Pierre

Thanks Darc. Will do all that all right.

Still mindful of how I got packages delivered to work in the past before I even got an "out for delivery" notice, but that might not have been Fastway. Honestly can't remember.

I've sent Fastway a note to change my address (via their contact us button on their website). I've got automated email confirmation that they'll look at my request and respond with 24 hours...

Will let you know how that goes....

Happy to report that I received the shipping notification this morning, only 1 book cancelled/unavailable. I placed the order March 3rd.
Looking forward to taking delivery of a nice stash of new books!

Pique

Mine has reached the Fastway Hub exactly 1 week after I got the dispatched email.

Do Fastway deliver on Saturdays or will it be after the BH weekend d'ya reckon?
