Child Item

Hi,

The above delivery service was launched on 1 October. Has anyone got a delivery from them yet?

An item I am waiting on shipped yesterday at 4pm and I’m told it will be delivered today by 9pm. However, I’m feeling a little cynical it will be delivered today.

Not amazon, but related, I submitted an order from aliexpress the other day, with it being shipped direct from belgium to Ireland, so within the eu.

Seller came back to me yesterday and said they can no longer ship from belgium to Ireland as the warehouse won't ship

I keep seeing reference to "where applicable" but I'd like to know in detail what the applicable conditions are.

I bought pyjamas on Amazon for my wife before Christmas. They were 'from' the baby. Anyway, they were the wrong size (I had checked her current pyjamas but it seems different brands are different sizes :mad:).

I tried a while ago to return them and I was being charged £9 for returning them through An Post. Or free to do it yourself, and incur the cost of return that way. I was just going to try selling them here as the price in the first place was less than £20.

I just went in again to show my wife how Amazon are not doing free returns anymore and to my surprise it was free through An Post. I'm pretty sure I had picked the same reason last time, 'Ordered wrong style/size/colour'.

Really frustrating, a fire tablet would be with me on Monday of i lived in London.

24/1 as I'm in Dublin, even if it came a few days early...I missed prime delivery

Amazon has not changed their returns policy because of or since Brexit.
They make all customers (UK / Ireland) pay for returns that are just cancelled orders (not wanted) . They have been doing that for about 5 years.
Seems most people get around it by giving another reason.:)

Good but what the thread doesn’t mention is that it is the origin of the goods that decides what duty rate is payable, not where they are shipped from

This is quite funny at this stage. I have been told that I'm entitled to a refund but I'm going to let it play out for a while longer to see what happens next.

Jesus, it's like a lost toy from Toy Story, travelling everywhere just to get home! I'd take the refund anyway, it won't impact the package arriving (assuming it still will). Call it 'emotional damages'.

It’s a starting point, I wasn’t getting into 400 pages about the origin rules.;)

You're probably right. It's 300 quids worth of Lego Technics so I shouldn't be too cavalier.

Ordered 5 separate items from Amazon on the 2nd January, none have been dispatched yet. Delivery dates range from 18th - 22nd Jan.

And that's with "Prime Delivery"

Simply not worth it anymore.

I have also seen a great increase in delivery times and today for the first time an item was not delivered as scheduled.

It used to be 2-3 days and now I am looking at 7-9 days. Surely it is not just Brexit causing this.

Where I've had to pay duty on parcels, I've had to pay the postman who delivered the parcel

ShatterProof

Have several orders waiting to be dispatched, all bought with prime free delivery. Delivery dates 11th, 12th , 22nd etc.

My prime is expiring tomorrow and I don’t think I’ll renew. Does anybody know will the existing orders be affected if I cancel.

It's been a long time when I had to pay the postman like this.... But I do remember having to have cash ready for the postman and putting some money in an envelope to keep it all together.

But has this been done away with? With all things covid... I hardly use cash anymore and surely it just increases contact the postman will have by collecting money.

Yes it has been done away with. You can no longer pay the post person at the door.

I know it has nothing to do with Brexit but it was brought up a while ago that free returns are gone, apart from damaged goods.

I tried before to return them and was being charged £9 so not sure why it became free again. The return is their Portlaoise address.

Irish Times said they're fine but Amazon i think said they are still possible. In saying that most clothes used to offer free returns.....not anymore.

Something about if you have to return something and it goes to UK there are import duties payable. Shoukd affect the likes of Amazon, as you say you send to an Irish address for for the likes of M&M Direct who use a UK address...

Does Parcel Motel still work? Looking at ordering something, and it'll be 22nd January if sent direct, or 13th January to Parcel Motel.

omegab

Same here, I've four different orders that were due to be delivered on Tuesday and it seems nothing has changed since before that in Essex for some reason.

No. They suspended deliveries from and to the UK. This has been known since December.

Oh now you've piqued my curiosity. I got the Bugatti Chiron from Amazon UK just before Christmas and it did the rounds, originating in Slovakia if I'm not mistaken. It came eventually, but not before they gave me a £50 partial refund for it being late!

What was the estimated delivery date? I'm wondering if they are padding them as all my estimated delivery dates are for 7+ days in the future. Previously it was mostly next day.

I ordered one Monday gone and delivery date was supposed to be this wed but is out for delivery now. There was no update from UK customs to arriving in the Dublin sorting place at 6am today and went out for delivery at 8

Most things I want to buy don't deliver to my Wexford address. Is this a brexit thing to or am I just unlucky lately?

is it worth it signing up with Amazon prime for amazon.es or amazon.de?
