    The package that was supposed to be delivered by the 6th of April is being delivered today. Which sucks because its a birthday present. I get it that is technically correct, but surely if you say by 6th of April, it wont be delivered on the 1st. :D

    Yep, noticed this too, but Friday (some places) and Monday are bank holidays, and Sunday is Easter, that's 3 days less for deliveries, so that's probably why.

    Yeah that probably explains it. Although Amazon drivers do usually work bank holidays so I wouldn't be surprised if there are deliveries on Monday.
    Delivery dates are still the 6th for me.

    Looking at ordering a watch on Amazon.uk, through a third party seller with a German address but a UK VAT number.

    Anyone want to take a guess what the situation there is?

    Why not share a link to it?

    Compare the Item from .de and see which is the better price. After Vat & Shipping?

    Note: - .co.uk login details usually work on .de

    I got everything delivered today ( 2 items were set for the 6th and one for Between April and June and was also delivered today)

    Some sent from the UK some other from France. Made no difference. All within 2 days

    Any ideas why the vat isn’t coming off this at checkout? It’s fulfilled by Amazon.

    Some Chinese sellers aren't VAT registered.

    Is customs charges for items over €22 all calculated at the checkout or is there a chance of being charged when it arrives?

    Its not coming up with any customs when I go to pay and it is £37 which is then €48.

    I have three packages due on Tuesday out for delivery today. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had arrived tomorrow as they always seem to work bank holiday Mondays, but I didn't think there'd be deliveries on Easter Sunday.

    I have one that should have arrived Good Friday. No sign of it, and there won't be knowing the post in this part of the country. TBH I wouldn't really expect them to work today either.

    An Post delivered on Friday but won't be delivering again until Tuesday. Amazon's own drivers work 7 days a week and every day except Christmas Day.

    I honestly wish there was a way to stop weekend delivery from Amazon. Once got something delivered at 7:50pm on a Sunday. Feel like this a down hill battle for workers right. (I know they aren’t being forced)

    I was wrong. My S&S order items already dispatched via An Post are out for delivery today. I wanted to have a lie in but the postman normally comes around 10.

    An Post delivering today. Our postman said there were 445 houses on his route and he had 187 packages today. He has to go back to the depot at some point because they won't all fit in the van.

    I hope An Post is getting a good deal for delivering Amazon stuff. I don't know how they are though- vanloads of deliveries of postage-free (to consumers) stuff can't be making much money for them, if I know Jeff Bezos..

    I got a product delivered today (600 grams in a 9inch x 6inch x 4 inch box.. Delivered from UK.

    I paid £3.07 all included.. Crazy!!

    I haven't had AnPost deliver anything from Amazon to me since December. It's all Amazon themselves now.

    We've had a mix (amazon own staff vs an post) but there were deliveries yesterday from An post. Strange for a bank holiday!
