One week later. Mine came from NL too. I think the seller just posted it unregistered in a post office.

Hi,

I hope ye can help.

I ordered an item from Amazon recently from NL.

According to the website 17 track, my package was on transport to the country of destination on Monday last, 19th February.

How long will it now take for the package to arrive from NL?

3 -4 days usually.

Hi there @EarWig!

I just wanted to say that I was browsing Amazon reviews of the seller from whom I ordered my awaited package.

It would appear that there are a number of customers who too are experiencing the same issue of the erroneous "Delivered" notification on their Amazon orders recently.

Glad to know its not just me affected here. 😊

Mod: Can you please stop

a) Opening 4 year old threads to post these

b) Posting in other forums about these

c) Opening duplicate threads about these.

They are regarding Amazon, please leave in the Amazon thread.

Hi all

If an Amazon package is due to be delivered by Royal Mail, can anyone confirm, is this An Post delivering the item or a courier?

Thank you. 😊

That unusual if Amazon would say that royal mail would deliver to a Irish address,?

That's true. The tracking usually states An Post.

That's nearly always their procedure

My daughter has an electric toothbrush we got off Amazon a few months ago and it's faulty (won't hold a charge), got onto Amazon and they want it returned. I explained I couldn't use an post because it contains a battery, but cs rep insisted it would have to be returned and they'd cover any costs.

So do people have suggestions how I can return this £20 toothbrush with a battery to Amazon UK? Apparently no expense will be spared to get this faulty toothbrush to Amazon

I've used UPS Standard a few times for Amazon returns without issue. It should cost about €12 for a parcel of that size.

I'm in an apartment block where they usually have to call me to deliver.

this item went missing last week (but was "delivered"). I complained and they sent a replacement.

Now this replacement was also delivered.. to me! It says "delivered to Joe Bloggs" on Amazon. But I can't find it.

What the feck are they up to. Sometimes they call and it goes smoothly, they call and I pop outside and get the item. Other times they just don't bother. I'm guessing they threw it over the wall into a ditch? I checked the ditches btw it's not there. Sometimes they don't call and the package magically appears inside the main hall, where nobody has access to except residents.

Now I have to contact Amazon again and ask them to send the same item for the 3rd time.

Luckily it's only some toiletries so they won't think I'm a scammer or anything. But what if it was some expensive electronics or something. Fcuk this.

Anybody else have this problem?

Maybe a neighbor stole it. Why aren't Amazon giving the item directly to me?

Would really appreciate some advice on this issues as I do not know what to do next.

1. Ordered a computer monitor from a UK based third party seller through Amazon UK

2. Got a message from DPD saying customs charges were due (I verified it was not a scam)

3. I decided that I would not pay the charges as they were too much, and thought item would be returned to seller

4. Got a notification from Amazon stating that monitor had been delivered to me (that's unusual as it had not been)

5. Contacted Amazon and they told me that monitor had been delivered to me

6. I contacted DPD and they told me that they had returned the item to the seller and provided me with evidence that they had done so

7. Contacted Amazon many, many times and they do not care at all that DPD have confirmed that the item was not delivered. All they keep saying is that I will have to fill out a police report

8. I tried to contact the third party seller, but it is impossible/they are ignoring me.

9. Spoke to the Gardaí they were sympathetic but said it is not a criminal matter so I can not fill a report.

I am down close to €400 and I have no idea what I am suppose to do next. Thank you for anyone who read this far.

Hi all,

I used a parcel tracking app to track the delivery of my Amazon package from the Netherlands. (Post NL)

It updated yesterday to say my package has arrived in the destination country (Ireland)

Has anyone any idea how long it will now take to receive my package now?

Thank you

It's what it says. It's now in the country. I guess you don't buy much online.

Maybe ask your debit / credit card provider to initiate a chargeback. They will ask to ensure that you have exhausted all efforts with Amazon so keep a record of correspondence and they'll also want the DPD proof of returning the item back to the seller

The best way to avoid this in future when ordering from Amazon UK is to ensure that the item is dispatched from Amazon. That means UK VAT is deducted, Irish VAT is added on and there's no other surprises.

Do a charge back on the card you used to purchase, should be straightforward if you have proof that DPD returned the item

Thanks @Jim_Hodge. Got the parcel today in post. 😊

Anyone hear if the Amazon centre will be in Enniskillen or Sligo or just speculation?

“At a business meeting that I attended, there was talk of attracting the likes of Amazon to Fermanagh. The issue was that we were competing with Sligo and we could lose out to Sligo,” Mr Crawford explained. “That was as far as it went. Nothing was guaranteed at that time as Fermanagh was competing with Sligo [for the site], but if negotiations have progressed since then that can only be a good thing."

Still not possible to order any non digital goods on Amazon Business if Address in the Republic! This is just weird....

"We are unable to dispatch non-digital items internationally to customers identified as businesses. Please choose a domestic delivery address to proceed.

You can visit your domestic Amazon store to access millions of products for delivery to your domestic address."

Apologies for waking up an old topic but I suspect this is still the same situation? Im in the same boat after opening a Business Prime Account, ludicrous.

I don't think it was ever resolved and last time I checked, quite a few were experiencing the same restriction

You can still order through a business account on Amazon.de however there are shipping restrictions on many items, it seems there's slightly less of a range of products than the UK site and they charge shipping by weight from what I can tell so it adds up quick on larger orders

Hi all, is there any way to withdraw money from my Amazon gift card balance to my back account? Thanks in advance!

In short, No.

I noticed a very small few items are one day delivery for me.

What I usually do is Ctrl + F and type in "Tomorrow" to find the items. But this is not super convenient.

Is there another hack?

I thought there would be a filter for this, but can't find one.

I noticed a very few items have next day delivery. I was looking for phone cases and saw the otterbox cases would be delivered tomorrow.

Is there a filter or hack to find items like this?

At the moment, I am just pressing Ctrl + F to find the word "Tomorrow".
