I got something 'delivered by hand to resident' yesterday that never showed up - there was someone in the house all day so no way there wasn't some there when they called. The tracking number starts with GA and came from Dublin. Anyone ideas who the courier company is? Never had any hassle with missed deliveries before.

Ordered from amazon, delivery was due Tuesday, they gave me a refund today and said it might be lost but also I might just be delayed. Last tracking was it showing clearing customs in Manchester. I’m not too fussed about it getting lost, these things happen but with them saying it might turn up, my question is, does it often or is it always lost when they say it is. Just trying to decide if I should reorder or wait. Thanks

(Amazon Spain & Italy among the cheapest). Postage has been roughly €7-9 from what I see.
The Mountpark/Baldonnell deal, which property industry observers have said is the largest deal of its type in the Irish market, would allow Amazon to bypass the UK and avoid any delays or extra charges due to Brexit trading arrangements.
