I see on the tracking that the item cleared customs in Swords overnight. Can I get excited about a potential knock on the door or will it sit there for a few days now?
1huge1 wrote: » I'm afraid not, that customs clearing in Swords is virtual to speed up the export of it from the UK into the EU, the item is still in the UK. You'll see this for almost every item you order from Amazon.co.uk these days, sometimes you'll see it clear customs in Belgium but the item itself has never left the UK.

Caranica wrote: » Does anyone know if I have to go into a post office for an Amazon return. Prepaid label address is Portlaoise. I've put the customs declaration on the outside but the instructions say give the commercial invoice to the carrier. It's only a faulty meat thermometer, value under £10, so it would easily fit in a post box if I can just drop it, rather than spend my lunchtime queuing in the post office.

Caranica wrote: » Anyone getting messages on delivery tracker "the driver has to make a few more deliveries on the way to your address"? It happens about 1 in 3 of mine lately. I'll get the notification that the driver is 8 stops away (and see they're in my greater development). Two hours later I'll check the app and get that message. Delivery could be delayed by a further 2-3 hours. 8 stops away from within my development is usually 30 minutes or less, not 5 hours. Edit, it's changed again to say it's 7 stops away. Which it was at 12.45, but location is different?
