Amazon Delivery Restrictions to Ireland

Update: item delivered to Addresspal less than 18 hours after it was ordered.

AP yet to so much as acknowledge its existence. Is that normal?
I've only ever used Addresspal from the US.

Got the item yesterday, so 3 days faster than Amazons quoted time.

Interestingly had emailed addresspal as heard nothing over the weekend and the auto reply said they do not acknowledge receipt in their hubs. So essentially you do lose tracking as soon as Amazon do their bit with this method.

Also costs €3.50 of course and more For home delivery, but worth it if something was urgent I suppose. I won’t bother again unless I’m in a rush.

How many people are getting refunds or a free years Prime when they complain and is there a trick to getting it?

Got a month free by moaning on live chat.

They were going to give me a refund twice both times came back and said because we had used prime video and seconds time both prime video and expedited delivery to parcel motel they couldn't refund the month. I did get courtesy £5 back for late delivery though.

Hi

I bought two things from amazon 3 weeks ago and they've been sitting in a Dublin hub since last Friday, is this normal because of covid?

no its not. once they get to dublin they are usually delivery in 2-3 days.

I was just onto an post and they said its due to the high volume of online packages they're receiving and it will be delivered next week. But he said if I check Monday my tracking number they will escalate the matter if it hasn't moved by then.

Typically they are, but it is not unusual for the parcel got lost in the corner of the warehouse for a week or so.

Placed an order Saturday, dispatched Saturday night, delivered today. Placed another order Monday night (echo dot), dispatched yesterday for delivery Friday.

Prime is back up and running properly it seems but still seeing lots of stuff not delivering to Ireland. Baking tins the latest problem (I've already searched the usual places before resorting to Amazon for what I'm specifically looking for).

Ordered an item this morning and was given a month free prime ,nice, got an email this afternoon saying the item was dispatched said it would be delivered Tuesday I imagine I will have it for the weekend

Anyone's email updates become anonymous to the item ordered?

It's been like that for a while now.

presumably to make you click through so that they can bombard you with other ****e. The suggested items are sometimes a giveaway though.

Got email that my prime is about to renew, I paid £59 for the annual last year, I think it was a prime day special, this years renewal was £79. I got on to live chat to try haggle, mentioning the bad service as discussed in this thread, no luck, no budging, even asked for gift voucher, still no luck.

I asked for them to cancel my prime so that it wouldn't renew, but that I could still use it for the remaining time, live chat ended and I noticed they cancelled ic completely. Got another agent on live chat, tried use this as fuel to get a better annual price again but no luck etc, there was no way to reinstate my remaining days, so they offered me a £5 voucher, I said make it £10, no luck even at that and ended up just accepting the £5.

Will see if Prime day has it on offer again, but even with this thread I'm thinking twice to get it again even if it is on special!

Hadnt noticed. Guessed it might be privacy thing (the Mrs seeing her birthday gift etc).

1 day ago: Anon
2 days ago: Anon
Thu, 21 May: Not anon, item included

So I'm not THAT asleep at the helm.
