    Thanks but no, email is correct :(

    Amazon came back and said they found nothing suspicious but I'm not convinced..

    Has anyone had an order from Amazon be delivered by UPS? It's a bit strange as usually Amazon deliver to me themselves. I'm just wondering if there would be any charges? Presumably Amazon would refund as they say what you pay at checkout is the maximum.


    Another question

    Has anyone ordered something through AddressPal were there would be no VAT due, books etc? As An Post are doing the importing, I'm hoping there would be no issues and just the €6.50 charge?

    @Pussyhands can you still get into your account? Change your email password and make sure there are no forwarding rules on it. On Amazon in account settings, in security you can log out of all devices. Then change your password and set up 2 factor authentication.

    I had an Amazon.com order delivered by UPS recently. There were no extra charges. It was stuck in customs for over a week though.

    Do Amazon deliver on Saturdays?

    When the estimated delivery date arrives does the order disappear from ' My Orders' on the site?

    Yes they do, I've had them call at 9am before. Date usually stays until actually delivered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭OptimusTractor


    They deliver 7 days a week now. I've gotten deliveries from Amazon on a Sunday evening since June.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,097 ✭✭✭✭briany


    Since they moved away from An Post to their own logistics network, they now deliver pretty much every single day of the week. It wouldn't surprise me if there were gifts arriving on Christmas morning this year.

    On the one hand, getting delivery any day of the week as an rule seems to me a sign of rampant consumerism which is likely helping to destroy our planet. But on the other hand.... seriously handy getting delivery of stuff on a Sunday when I'm more likely to be in.

    My email said that my order ( arriving today by 8pm) was being delivered by Yun Express, does that mean it's coming by courier?

    Thank you.

    What is Yun Express? Are you familiar with this?

    Anyone ever not recieve a package on the estimated delivery date on Amazon?

    This just happened to me, and I was given a new estimated delivery timeframe.



  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Yeah, it happened a few times to me. One, it just said it would come the next day by 8PM. The other said it would come some time in the next 10 days.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 961 ✭✭✭manna452121


    Sometime Amazon source an item from a third party, China etc, this is when the delay takes place,no next day delivery.It will arrive,hopefully not with Fastway



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭I am me123


    Thanks so much.

    Newbie to using Amazon here and was supposed to get package yesterday by 8pm (never arrived btw) then checked back on Amazon account, got an apology for it's no - show and got new estimated delivery timeframe.

    Finding Amazon delivery times starting to drift.

    Was looking at ordering a printer last Thusday. Item was in stock but when I went as far as checkout expected delivery date 06 Oct.

    Ordered phone today. Same story . In stock and expected delivery 06 Oct.

    Contacted customer service who were useless who just used the excuse of international delivery and had no answer to what am I paying Prime for?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭I am me123


    Hi, me here again.

    Still didnt recieve my package from Amazon after being given a further estimated delivery date (today) and it still has not arrived.

    As far as I know it's coming from China. I messaged the seller directly on Amazon after the first no show , they said my package was in transit.

    Anyone experiencing similar problems with Amazon deliveries lately?

    Stuff coming from China is utterly unpredictable in terms of delivery dates, can be early, late or never arrives. Be prepared for customs fees as well. I ordered something from Amazon in May and it arrived the first week in July with a customs demand.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭I am me123


    Wow that was a late delivery! Should I message the seller again or leave it?

    No delivery in post today either. If it's coming by courier, would I be informed by call, text or email? How do I get refund if I choose to?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,316 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    I'd leave it. Most of the Chinese stuff comes through the post so it arrives when it arrives. Looking at my order on Amazon it still shows an "expected delivery date" of early June. No indication that it was ever delivered



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    no point messaging the seller, there is nothing they can do now. there is no point buying from chinese sellers on amazon. You can buy the same stuff from aliexpress for half the price and the same shipping times.

    I was surprised to find I couldn't purchase some digital albums for my daughter on amazon.co.uk, my cared card was refused. Seems like it needed to be registered to a uk address. So is buying digital music from amazon.co.uk impossible from Ireland? Can I use a gift card to do this? Any way around this?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,316 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    You'll be lucky to get it at all. Lots of posts about Chinese deliveries being returned



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    As a counterpoint to this I haven't had a single package from china returned in I can't remember when, it has been so long.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,316 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    It depends on the product type somewhat. You've a better chance getting it from Amazon than Ali Express/Wish as they don't pay a lot of postage and An Post let the containers sit for long times

    It is coming via Belgium like a lot of Aliexpress items. I don't think the fact that it was bought on Amazon makes a difference. parcels are being returned because the customs declarations are not completed correctly.
