    You can put a review on Trust Pilot. I did and got a very quick response and action from LITB. You could also put one on Google

    Ordered 31 March. They said 5 - 8 business days. Last week they gave me a tracking number, with no clue as to which courier company. Got this message today:

    "HBC, we've received your parcel in our central distribution hub. it will be with you in 1-2 working days".

    If they had realistic delivery times, it would reduce the frustration and time-wasting in contacting customer service several times.

    I've had two small packets from China that both reached Ireland as far as I know and then went into the postal equivalent of the black hole of Calcutta. Not hide nor hair from them since.

    What trackers are people using? Trackdog and Parcel Monitor both seem to get updates, but I can't work out what's happening with the one gone via PostNL.

    ^^^ Have you tried >>> https://track-chinapost.com/

    Some cheap Chinese posting don't offer tracking outside of china.

    17Track.net is quite good though I don't bother tracking parcels coming from china any more. They arrive when they arrive. for parcels coming via PostNL you will only get tracking as far as holland.

    have you used NL's tracker: https://postnl.post/

    I have an order from the 14th - reached PostNL on the 26th and they sorted it today, guess it might reach me next week.

    Cheers everyone. Yeah, I used postnl.post, it just has 2 entries,
    26-04-2021 03:29 The item is ready for shipment
    26-04-2021 03:10 The item is pre-advised to PostNL

    but based on comments, that's as much detail as I get until it arrives, whenever that may be?

    So your next update will be when it physically arrives for sorting in NL. After that it will state on way to destination country. Usually a couple days after.

    From recent experience, its 7 days to reach Ireland.

    An item I have on the way (supposedly) had its last tracking update as having arrived at Dublin airport on January 10th. Nothing heard from it since. Don't suppose it's even worth contacting An Post to ask what doing.

    You could also try https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking/

    This combines the information from PostNL and AliExpress/Cainiao.

    It gives me more detail than 17track for AE orders.

    Cheers.
    There has been some, albeit slow, movement for anyone who may be going the same route.

    05-05-2021 .... The item is on transport to the country of destination IRELAND
    04-05-2021 .... The item is at the PostNL sorting center
    04-05-2021 .... Consignment received at the PostNL Acceptance Centre
    30-04-2021 .... The shipment is handed over in bulk, final acceptance of goods to be confirmed

    I have one item that arrived to Liege on 20th April....nothing since. It usually moves to "Last Mile Carrier" within days but this has not happened. And another one has been on "Last Mile Carrier" for 2 weeks.

    Other 3 items ordered at around the same time arrived ok, taking about 4 weeks.

    From recent posts, it seems that waiting times have gone from about 6-8 weeks in the middle of 2020, to around 2-3 weeks now.

    The hold-up in Liege seems to be getting shorter.

    There has been some, albeit slow, movement for anyone who may be going the same route.

    05-05-2021 .... The item is on transport to the country of destination IRELAND
    04-05-2021 .... The item is at the PostNL sorting center
    04-05-2021 .... Consignment received at the PostNL Acceptance Centre
    30-04-2021 .... The shipment is handed over in bulk, final acceptance of goods to be confirmed
    26-04-2021 .... The item is ready for shipment
    26-04-2021 .... The item is pre-advised to PostNL

    Hi Hurrache, did your package arrive? Trying to tell here how long usually between the "The item is on transport to the country of destination" from PostNL to when it's actually delivered.

    Thanks.
    Surprising how the delays in Belgium and Ireland are longer than the delays in China getting it to Europe.
