Thanks.
Ye was surprised to see the charge when I had chosen the “return” option. Maybe I’ll try again and just use Amazon’s label but it is fairly obvious that the item described is not the item in the box - Paper vs Elecrical.
When did Amazon start their own deliveries outside Dublin? I've a package which is apparently being delivered on Sunday and the courier is Amazon themselves.
And in which region are you?
Limerick
Just signed up again this year for a free months prime. Getting the Christmas list finalized, and will start ordering from Thursday. Im only going to use Prime this year (Orders fulfilled by Amazon only) dont trust An post. Am I right in saying that with prime, the price you see in the checkout is the price you pay? No customs letters?
Yes there are never any extra charges on prime items. I've got a few (mostly small) import tax refunds also.
I actually had an Amazon ordered dispatched with An Post yesterday for the first time in months. It was only a bookmark so maybe that's why.
Next day delivery was available on some items at 9.30 this morning (order within 15/45 minutes). It's nice to see it back even if it's not the ~6 pm cutoff that there was in late 2019.
Perfect, thanks for reply, prime all the way for Christmas this year so. I would not trust An Post to make a cup of tea these days, they are gone to the dogs.
Not sure where else to post this, but whenever I buy something on Amazon - the tracking always follows the same process. It arrives at a carrier facility in Dublin whenever, and then is delivered to me the next day.
That's the case for almost everything I buy, except miniature bottles of acrylic paint (for painting models) and airbrush cleaner (again, a small bottle).
Is there any reason why these take longer? It's usually a few days extra. Something to do with them being liquid?
Believe or not but paint, even in small quantities is classed as DG (Dangerous Goods) so maybe its something to do with that.
Interesting. I do always receive the package eventually, it just takes longer after being held up in the Dublin "carrier facility" for a few days first.
Spotted at least 50 brand new electric Amazon Prime delivery vans at Mercedes on Long Mile Road earlier. Are amazon about to take things to a new level in Ireland? Will they launch before Christmas or wait until the new year? Will we get next day prime delivery's? Interesting times ahead...
Their is also a large amount of vans in the Limereick depot.They are making deliveries to local housing estates ,some taxi drivers are also doing work for Zeus/Amazon
They're already being used. I had a parcel delivery today from one here in Bray.
Quick question. For the first time Amazon have shipped something to me using DPD rather than An Post but the tracking number isn't a DPD one. Does anyone know if eventually I'll get a proper tracking number or will I only be able to track it through the Amazon site (which doesn't even have the usual "See all updates" link
With DPD, they texted me the morning the package was due with a 3 hour timeframe.
Ive noticed a few prime shipments that used to be delivered by Amazon themselfs are now been delivered by An Post. I have 2 day shipments due today all via prime via An Post. Ill report back later to see if An Post deliver them on time. Hopefully they have upped their gamne this year!
Im in Dublin 5 btw.
Has anyone had any recent experience with buying from some of the larger marketplace sellers on Amazon.co.uk?
I'm specifically interested in music media from sellers such as MusicMagpie, OnlineMusicFilmsGames, Momax.
Is VAT prepaid like they do for their own products?
Are posted parcels getting through from these sellers?
Ordered a satellite box direct from Amazon.
On the 18th of October got an update saying it was in Dublin and "initiated customs clearance process".
Nothing since.
Should I cancel or wait it out? Does this part usually take that long?
Hi all, I have a kindle under warranty and have it ready to go back.
An Post won't accept it as it has a battery and the battery label provided by Amazon makes no difference.
I would assume i am not the first with this problem but the response from Amazon is use a different courier.
Who would you recommend if this is the road i have to go down?
I assume Amazon will refund the cost?
Make sure Amazon will refund it first. Then try DPD or UPS. Last thing I sent to the UK with UPS with €11-12
Definitely shouldn't take that long, who was delivering it? An post or Amazon? Could be an issue with the address label.
Amazon.
I went ahead and cancelled it and refunded.
Bought it again this morning.
I have Prime trial so it said the delivery would be this Monday (or Tuesday?). Grand I thought!
But after completing the purchase, delivery date is now Nov 11th!
Is that normal? Any chance it might come sooner?
Update UPS won't let me book online some internal security error which i suspect revolves around the battery.
DPD Don't seem to list the UK as an option in the drop down quote thingy. Mentions the UK lots but cannot find out how. Also they list batteries as restricted.
Great craic this.
Make sureits the slowest service with UPS, that goes by road and it should be ok.
I did the cheapest and still got that problem. Maybe a phonecall will fix it as reading their own terms re batteries they are exempt as a hazardous material in this case.
I've shipped batteries with UPS lots of times without issues. I'd say that's some technical issue with the site.
So i ring UPS and they say no amazon have to create a pickup.
Back to Amazon and they say no.
Very frustrating
just notice the return option changes today, rarely needed to use the option, came across this
it appears even with prepaid labels, depending on the reason for return. Amazon would deducted the cost of shipment from amount to be refunded.
never noticed before, as Items I returned in the past were faulty and so I was entitled to the full refund and free return.
also noticed now they given the option to refund to your amazon account, before the only option I got was refund to payment mythod used for the order
Anyone ever have issues with Amazon and Customs?
My delivery from Amazon through An Post just updated with the message "Customs clearance have identified a problem with the customs declaration accompanying your item. We are working with the retailer to fix the issue."
Just wondering if anyone has had it and knows how long it might delay the delivery
