    Smyths are brilliant, I ordered late Thursday night and it arrived early Saturday morning.

    No problems with elverys or lifestyle sports either (though that was November)

    Two other irish food websites I couldn't get past the checkout so that was a futile effort.

    "72 working hours" that's halarious 😂
    I'll be kind and say they work a 9 hour day, so that works out at 8 days for an email reply. Ha ha ha.
    Priceless.

    Kilkenny delivery was 8-12 working days too. It's this a new trend? Not that they delivered in that time frame anyway!

    If those shops are depending on An Post maybe that is the issue? (know some click and collect though, no excuse there). I posted a parcel in Dublin to Dublin and 13 days later it hasn't yet arrived!

    Kilkenny use GLS couriers. They've had my package for last 10 days. Yet I've had DPD next day this week.

    I posted a package to a remote irish island from dublin last Wednesday and it arrived on Friday, and they dont even get post every day.

    If I'd ordered delivery I'd probably agree with you, but it still doesn't explain Arnotts appalling customer service of not answering any of my emails after waiting the 10 working days.
    However mine is a click and collect order they just need to email me and I do all the traveling. So why the 10 day delay.
    Poor form from one of Ireland's largest and oldest retailers.

    GLS couriers' warehouse is full.
    They've got containers with thousands of parcels outside that they can't unload.
    They've said it will be after Christmas before anything gets delivered.
    The only thing to be said for GLS Couriers is that they are consistent.
    They've always had shocking reviews.

    I had 15kg bag of dog food dropped to my door by 2 blokes in a taxi this morning.
    I'm not even messing. I'm happy out, but seemed a bit mental. (GLS that was)

    When I went to buy my mams present, the site was having problems (two separate irish sites I've tried to buy from have failed) anyways said I'd try again, it's out of stock now.


    So a little bit agh!!!! Remember seeing that they stock in the Kilkenny store....look there can't see it, but do see the newbridge decorations.....oh dear ,oh dear.

    So Kilkenny is only free delivery over €59 so I says, sure I'll look at the newbridge own site...

    Welcome to my parlour said the spider to the fly..... newbridge free delivery and 10% off (enjoy10) so I'm now 150 euros lighter .

    Got the santa grotto, santa and forest friends, cuckoo x2 , book mark and two others , know there was 7 items anyway.

    These all arrived this morning, delivered with "an post"

    I ordered after their cut off so wasn't sure if I'd get them before Christmas.
