Anyone still waiting for stuff from China?

Some items even having tracking no. will never appear on AnPost tracking facility - because some of them offer tracking only until the moment they reach Chinese border.

Ah ok, I have a singapore post # and the singpost website says it's reached Ireland and An Post.

So more than likely that one will eventually appear on AnPost tracking thingy.

But it will take a while. Couple of months ago someone posted AnPost's reply stating how long (really long sometimes) they hold some items.

Missed delivery yesterday, picked up from the DSU in the evening. Cross shipping via Germany with DHL eCommerce. Interestingly its outbound code from DE should have been UV111111111DE, from the S10 reference maybe it shouldnt be be tracked by why bother relabeling then.

My Dec 27th package arrived today. Dec 6th package still out in the ether. I assume it's with customs.

Maybe. I just find it weird that something ordered later arrives first. Same ali store, same postage company. Probably because the first one arrived before Christmas and they threw it in the cages?

It's getting close to the date listed on Aliexpress as to when I should open a Dispute about my order. Should I wait for it to pass or open the Dispute before that date? I know sellers are quick to try and trick you into missing the dispute deadline so don't want to get caught

@xckjoo Message the seller and request an extension of about 2 weeks for your purchase protection.

Shipments can take longer than usual this time of year.

The delay is on the irish end so the chinese new year wont affect parcels already sent.

Unless it's MIA and they need to resend, which is what I'm worried about. Tracking info is a bit unclear because the last entry said it was departing Shenzhen Center and the destination is the Shenzhen Center so dunno what's going on.

Last of my 11//11 orders arrived today.

Suspected that the Item got misplaced in transit, because another item which had the same flight no arrived end of November.

First time poster on this thread. Bought some stuff on Dhgate and chose epacket for postage. Any idea how long I should expect for these to arrive?

4-6 weeks.

RossieMan · 15-01-2019 01:32PM

Epacket is a bit quicker. Probably 2-3 weeks if all goes well.

Not sure if I'd call anything below parcel post faster than another service. Unreg mail often beats EMS. The DMC lottery makes sure of that.

Anyone with recent experience of Pos Malaysia ? Making AP look fast.

scotchy · 17-01-2019 09:44AM

2 items ordered 17 November.

Arrived this morning.

Whats the prefix?

RC, RL etc should be An Post don't always bother. Other prefixes and usually not.

mossy464 · 18-01-2019 06:14PM

Prefix is LM

ED E · 18-01-2019 06:19PM

Abiding by the rules it should be

LA-LZ Letter post trackable, several subtypes; the use of LZ requires bilateral agreement

mossy464 · 21-01-2019 05:35PM

Do things like jerseys from China get caught for customs normally?

Counterfeit soccer ones? Will be destroyed if caught. Revenue are known for being one of the more effective bodies within the EU.
