Has anyone else been let down by this 2 day ship to Ireland?

I've had 3 items now and when I go to buy I get the message saying it's eligible for 2 day shipping to Ireland as I am a Prime member but then it doesn't arrive within two days?

Nope, everything so far as been on-time for the delivery date given at checkout for two day and standard (when two day isn't available).

By any chance are you assuming everything is two-day when instead some items are shipping via standard?

Not once: been notified the items would be late and still arrived on time. Faster most of the time than Dublin to Dublin. Recently ordered even a full size easel and still was on time

Yes I've had issues with 2 day delivery. I actually have something due to be delivered tomorrow by priority delivery so I'm interested to see if it arrives on time.

I've had 3 deliveries in the last week that have arrived a day late, but was given £5 / £5 / £6 credit for each after going on live chat so not too bothered

Definitely seem to be having teething issues with it

My order from a few days ago isn't even showing as dispatched yet but it was definitely prime delivery on the item....

My Amazon priority 2 day delivery has become a 1week+ delivery.

Apparently, there are issues on the Anpost side of things, so I was told yesterday by an Amazon rep.

My delivery has been in Dublin12 since last Friday one week ago

Same problem here, after half a dozen really fast deliveries after I first joined prime they are back to taking fcuking ages to dispatch!

I waited 48hrs for the last item I ordered to be dispatched and then cancelled. Cancellation was easy so no chance the item had even got as far as being picked off the shelf.

keano25 · 08-09-2018 01:54PM

Mine still hasn't been dispatched. Very disappointing service. Two day delivery was the reason I signed up.

Have you contacted them about it?

In my experience contacting Amazon gets great results I should know I've done it enough but nothing changes at Amazon.

You might get expedited delivery for the item in question or a refund of a couple of months prime but nothing will change at Amazon so when it comes to the next delivery you could be back to square one.

No problems here with my Prime deliveries (unless it's poxy Fastway). Any time i have an issue their Chat help has been top notch.

Maybe someone misread the label and sent it to Iceland. No kidding that actually happened to me one time.

So Priority takes longer than standard? Even that they have that Priority is a 2 day delivery to Ireland.

Unlimited Priority (Two-Day) Delivery to the Republic of Ireland (ROI). Threshold free on eligible items, at no extra cost. If items are not eligible for Priority Delivery, they’ll be delivered to the ROI via Standard (3-4 days) or Economy (3-5 days) Delivery at no extra cost.

fryup · 10-09-2018 10:03PM

^^^^^^^^^^

its called priority yet its slower than standard, doesn't make sense does it?

For me I have had the same a few times that it said priority would take longer than standard.
However I always pick priority and each time it has come within the 2 days.

my3cents · 24-09-2018 10:38AM

I think what may be happening with the standard/priority delivery times is that Amazon are taking into account that you are in Ireland when quoting the Priority delivery times and quoting the UK delivery times as standard?

ElNino · 24-09-2018 11:52PM

I placed an order with 6 items a week ago. 4 items arrived in 2 days but the other 2 items still haven't been dispatched. I just complained to them on live chat and they extended my Prime subscription by a month which I am happy with. The best I have done before is a couple of £5 credits.

I've had about 4 credits now after things delayed a few days, but my last few orders have been back on track. Almost disappointed :pac:

This Priority delivery is a bit of a con.
Looking at buying a few Pc parts ,it says delivery within two days so I add to the basket then it says delivery is 8-9 days with Priority whilst standard delivery is faster.
The part then goes out of stock whilst waiting to be dispatched so I'm back to square one.
This is happening too often lately .

Log into their live chat or get them to call you and they will normally sort this for you.

A mate pre-ordered a game thats due for release next week and when he checked the order status it was giving an estimated deliver date of about 4 days after the game release date. So he got onto live chat and they said they would arrange with the courier to have it delivered on the release date. Result!

Very disappointed with the amount of items which actually have the 2 day delivery. More often than not, the priority delivery is still at least 7 days or the 'standard' delivery date is the same as the priority one. If I change my address to UK one, pretty much everything is one day delivery, even the items that take 7 days with priority to Ireland

Discodog · 22-10-2018 08:21AM

I signed up to the Prime trial. It seems pointless as the delivery time is the same to Ireland. I only get the fast delivery if I use AP & that means extra cost.

It depends on the items, I've had a couple that qualified for 2 day delivery. Some take the normal amount of time, others arrive much sooner than the estimate but that happened sometimes without prime as well.

Way too hit & miss to justify the cost - for me anyway

Hungryhill · 24-10-2018 01:10PM

Yesterday Oct 23 I signed up for Amazon Prime, then placed an order (in stock, sold and delivered by Amazon, Prime checked) and it says delivery: Nov 8?

Today same thing, a screwdriver with 'Free Priority' but estimated delivery is Nov 5th, which is nearly two weeks from now!

Am I missing something? I was used to MUCH QUICKER delivery times BEFORE signing up with "Prime.. 2-days Ireland delivery service"!

Who delivers it?

Zardoz · 24-10-2018 05:39PM

Well the motherboard I ordered finally showed up today ,the packaging was non existant ,just the motherboard in the retail packaging.
Not good enough.

I ordered a 2TB hard drive a few weeks ago and it came in a cardboard sleeve with a tiny bit of bubble wrap ,absolutely ridiculous packaging.

Standards seem to be slipping .

Just depends on what the packers manager has dictated. I've had stuff with so much packaging it was ridiculous and like you HDD knocking around in large cardboard boxes with no protection.

Shipping wise last couple of Prime items came through in two days but a bit p!ssed over an item that had one left in stock when I ordered but is now down to be delivered anytime in the next 3 months. Price however is just too good to cancel the order.

Hungryhill · 24-10-2018 06:27PM

Both purchases were marked as 'sold and delivered by Amazon' + PRIME.
I was wondering if anyone finds Amazon Prime faster (they promise 2-days to EIRE) because to me seems slower (?)
