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.

What's your due date?
I ordered Sunday, due 'today' but the last status update is 2:23am so not overly optimistic I'll have it before Thursday. (Not sure what Amazon's policy is regarding delivering on a bank holiday)!

Due to arrive by 9pm tonight.

We’re very sorry your delivery is late. Most late packages arrive in a day. If you have not received your package by tomorrow, you can come back here the next day for a refund.

But hasn't arrived in Ireland yet by the looks of it.

Ordered Saturday.
Shipped Sunday.
Dublin Hub Monday.
Delivery in Cork this morning.

Looks like both Amazon and AnPost are back to normal.

My due Saturday parcel went something like this:

Shipped friday
Initiated customs clearance Swords Saturday
Completed customs clearance Swords Monday
Initiated customs clearance Manchester Tuesday.
Package arrived at final delivery station Tuesday.

Have a dress ordered for my 4 year old that was due yesterday, but has been stuck on Initiated customs clearance Manchester since Saturday. I don't expect that today which is a pity as she is bursting for her new dress.

The location of customs clearance in Irlam in Manchester always makes me think of getting the train to work when I lived there. Northern service to Liverpool Lime St, calling at Urmston, Flixton, Chassen Rd, Irlam, Birchwood, Padgate, Warrington Central... Can still hear the announcements in my head.

I have another order from Saturday that was meant to arrive today but it was only dispatched at 1 this afternoon.

Parcel arrived at a carrier facility
DUBLIN PARCEL HUB,

Amazon telling me it'll be here (Cork) by 8pm lol!!

Tomorrow it is... come on I want my package

Thanks all,

Seems I am not the only one. I don’t suppose there is any way to contact someone within the process to check what the delay is?

Thanks!

I had an item due today but it hasn't arrived in the final delivery station yet.

I had the same thing, something was due yesterday but sitting in customs in Dublin since Saturday. I've another package due today but that is sitting in customs in Manchester so I don't expect it.

Bear in mind that they're not necessarily in Dublin or Manchester, that's just where the customs clearance is done remotely.

Also my packages always go: Initiated customs clearance process, completed..., initiated...

Same - some customs delay since the weekend...

Saturday, 13 March - 12:51 AM - Initiated customs clearance process Dublin, Swords

Hi all,

I’ve been using Amazon prime for delivery from the U.K. very successfully the last few months. I’ve never experience any particularly long delays clearing customs at Dublin. This weekend, however, I have a package that is showing “initiated customs clearance process” since 0051 on Saturday morning. The package was expected on Sunday and is now overdue.

Has anyone seen a delay like this? Amazon have given me the option to cancel but I would rather not. The order value is greater than €22 but the normal Amazon fees should cover this without any serious delay? Or would it take longer with an order like this?

Thanks in advance

I don’t mind waiting until Monday but I thought for a moment that we’d finally gotten weekend post in boggerland! I can’t see them expanding country wide either at least not for a while anyway but maybe when they get the fulfilment centre up and running.

you should move to dublin. I had 2 Aliexpress parcels in the post this morning.

I've four Amazon orders out for delivery today. Don't think they'll ever manage to extend their own delivery service to all of the country but 7 day delivery where they have it is great.

Having said that, up until the end of January my orders were always on delivery cycle 1 so I had them before lunchtime. Since then it's been cycle 2 which means I don't get them until late evening.

No Saturday post as expected, I presume amazon just thinks all of Ireland has been introduced to the wonders of weekend post service!

Ahh yes, ok, makes sense. Thanks all. Haven't clicked purchase yet, but thinking this is a good buy. Actually have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra which I'm getting rid of with CEX as I can't stand the damn thing! Had a Redmi Note 8 Pro before it and actually preferred it to the Samsung!

Exactly, just instead of the Vat appearing on the same line item as the product, its split out under "import deposit fees".

What you need to watch out for is when the item doesn't go down in price (i.e. still charging UK VAT) and also has a import deposit fee, from what I've seen, this ususally happens when the seller is based in China but open to correction on this.

thanks! Have to say it is confusing what they are doing - are they effectively discounting the phone to give it to Irish customers at the same price !

They're just charging Irish VAT (23%) instead of UK VAT (20%). They still make the same profit.

Quick one - I was looking at the Mi 10T Lite - and it's about £209, which isn't a bad price.

When putting to basket it knocks off most of the VAT, and adds the import fees deposit, bringing the price back up to £210.

Am I safe with customs on this basis - i.e. that Amazon has "charged" the import fees deposit?

Yes, fire ahead, you won't have any other charges.

Yes, that seems absolutely fine, the import fees deposit matches of with Irish VAT.

Thats all you'll be charged.

Absolutely, and so have I. My point was that actual delivery day is usually a day before scheduled delivery day. I've an order out for delivery today that was due tomorrow.

If you are in Dublin (and surrounding areas) Amazon will deliver on Saturdays via their service.

No, I’m in Cork, I don’t think amazon logistics have ventured down this as of yet! More than likely though I’ll probably have to wait until Monday and it will come with the regular post, still making good time though.

Ordered an item from Amazon Germany of Friday & it arrived Tuesday - very impressed.

I ordered a few things on Saturday night and they arrived Monday Lunchtime. Meanwhile an item I bought from a hardware shop in Dublin took a week to get to Galway.

I'm all in favour of supporting irish retailers, but some of them really need to up their game. Both delivery times and website design.
