    How do you check if your order is with Asendia?

    You can't until it actually dispatches. I think of it as the Amazon lotto.

    Ordered watch dogs 2 on ps4 from Amazon on 17th 11. Should arrive on 24. It didn't. Contacted amazon and they told me to wait until 2nd Dec. Asked them to send it with quicker shipment or refund. Unfortunately game is out of stock so got money back. It's a shame as yesterday I would buy it cheaper in any Irish store but today prices gone up to release ones. Strange that Amazon is messing with such crap company that lose that many parcels. Never had this problem with different transport company.

    Ordered Pokemon Sun, sent by Asendia. Was due on Tuesday but still hasn't arrived, at least it gives me time to study for my exams I guess.

    A week since it was due, still no luck. Trying to get in contact with Amazon themselves now, never had a problem with Amazon before this, shame.

    Same. Ordered Watch Dogs 2 when it was on the Black friday deal. Was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday and no sign. Have made a complaint and the rep I was speaking to said he would "make a note" that I do not want another package to be delivered by them but to wait until the 15th before reporting it as lost.

    Honestly the first and only time I've had an issue like this with Amazon.

    I ordered a flash drive on the 25th Nov , it was supposed to be delivered on the 5th Dec , im still waiting , contacted amazon and was told to wait until the 13th Dec , then they will consider it lost , the annoying thing is that it was a great price and if I have to buy it again it would cost about 20 euros more , is there any chance amazon would resend out the same drive without the price hike or will they just refund me ?
    I still cant believe they used asendia as I actually paid nearly £6 postage

    Tony H,

    I have had two lightening deals "lost" by Asendia and returned to Amazon.

    Amazon re-dispatched both via premium delivery after I had a rant on chat, saying they were bought as gifts for a birthday a few days after the estimated delivery date.

    They also agreed to refund me the difference in price between the current price and lightening price.

    Ken

    Do it sooner rather than later because you can only get the item sent out again if its in stock.

    I've had Ascendia loose my bargains only to get a refund because there was no stock left.

    I just contacted them through my order and emailed them. They came back to me very quickly and everything was resolved pretty fast.

    Go near the bottom of the Amazon page and go through the Help link. They don't make it easy to find. Chat is very quick, but they probably won't be able to do much when it comes to Asendia. It seems like a black hole for parcels.

    Speak of the devil and he will appear. Package just arrived. All good. Thanks for the help.☺

    You can't see the sender until it ships and by then it's too late.

    I was on to Customer Escalations yesterday and I can't remember why it came up but I used Ascendia as being an example of a useless courier and he certainly knew all of the associated problems with Ascendia. You knew by his tone of voice in his reply. :D

    I dropped my Eircode from Amazon because anything with an Eircode never ever arrived. I've had 3 out of 5 things from Ascendia vanish this year. 2 PS4 games last Christmas on top of that also.

    I was getting annoyed at Amazon because I'm sure they thought I was claiming they didn't arrive but was lying and selling them to CEX or something. :( It's when I Googled Ascendia problems I realised that Ascendia are next to useless.

    I had an SSD being delivered by them as part of a bigger order. The SSD was the only thing they were delivering.

    An Post delivered me a sealed clear bag, with the Amazon box inside already opened and the item missing.

    This happened to me recently. The product I ordered was an Intel i5 CPU, ordered from Amazon and delivered by Asendia. Amazon's packaging was inadequate for such an expensive item, it was just a cardboard wrapped around the product with sides tucked in on top and bottom. I didn't notice any damage when AnPost delivered it (Final leg). When I opened the amazon packaging, it was clear someone has ripped the CPU from Intel's packaging. I got onto Amazon's chat and they reordered it with upgraded delivery.

    That's the first time something like that has happened to me. I've previously received parcels through Asendia from Amazon without any issue, but the product's value in those orders were lower than 100.

    I ordered a package from Amazon.co.uk yesterday. The carrier is asendia (La Poste). I was not given any tracking number.

    Would it be possible to get a tracking number from them?

    Nah, Ascendia are the cheapest of the cheap so no tracking.

    I'm waiting over a week for an item dispatched this time last week with them.

    You just have to go by the dates that Amazon state for the delivery window and if it goes over that call up and get another sent out or your money back.

    Cheers.

    I ordered a game from Amazon. Sent last Thursday. Over a week later and nothing. They said wait until today. Still not here. Normal post from the UK would be 3 days, 4 tops. Ascendia sent it via Switzerland or somewhere else. Crazy. No tracking number. No idea now.

    Its not here so contact Amazon who will look after you then :)

    Going by the last 5 items I've had from Ascendia my expected time from when dispatched with them is now a minimum of 6 WORKING Days. So something dispatched on a Thursday won't arrive until Monday week at the earliest.

    I have to say, not as bad as I thought it would be, parcel was posted on Friday with Asendia with expected delivery Monday 20th it was deliver today.

    If only :mad: I'm still waiting for an item that should have arrived Monday and postman has been today (Wednesday). Online chat were good and gave me a 5euro credit to my account for the inconvenience but I've had to wait much longer than I used to for all my orders this year. Only one out of about 8 or 9 has arrived in reasonable time without any hassle and that was sent with Royal Mail.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,762 ✭✭✭my3cents


    So above delivery still not arrived and Amazon are giving me a full refund because its not available anymore and I can keep the item if it arrives.

    Not the first time this has happened and a good conspiracy theory would be that it was never sent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 908 ✭✭✭_Godot_


    I orcered the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild from amazon who sent it with asendia. Delivery date was supposed to be the 20th but it's now the 24th and no sign of it. I got in contact with amazon who said to get back to them if it hasn't arrived by the 24th. First time a delivery from amazon has gone so wrong for me.

    Another Ascendia lost order - nothing delivered from them

    Amazon refund the shipping and ship by an post, but its getting ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 432 ✭✭Craftylee


    My phone case was dispatched from Amazon 2 weeks ago, was sent via ASENDIA.... and guess what - still not here. They're total crap... kinda feel sorry for Amazon as they no doubt get it in the neck from angry customers, but at the same they choose to use ASENDIA.

    A PS4 game I ordered which shipped 2 weeks ago has still not arrived.

    What is Asendia's current shipping ETA?
