    Actually, I missed the Liege bit. Does that mean it went to Belgium first and is on the way out of Belgium now?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40,102 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    most parcels from china come via another EU country usually belgium, holland or germany.

    How long to recieve an Amazon parcel delivering from China to Ireland after customs clearance is completed?

    My parcel tracker said customs clearance has been completed on my parcel since yesterday.

    Would you say I'd be waiting much longer for it's delivery?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40,102 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    like with all things concerning parcels from china it is impossible to say. it could be a day or two or it could be 2 weeks.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭I am me123


    My parcel from China is now in Belgium. Should it take much longer now to arrive in Ireland?

    Would delivery estimates from Chinese sellers on Amazon be a rough guide or would they tend to be very optimistic?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭BronsonTB


    Costing An Post alot accourding to CEO in this interview...(Not just China but lots of other countries too)

    Seems to be blaming the senders for most of it.

    Received delivery today from Ali.

    Ordered 13th November. Great speed in under 3 weeks!

    Updates went dark last week (24th) when it departed transit facility in Liege. So it took just over a week to land at my door. Impressed!

    I’ve an order stuck since 13th October it arrived in Ireland and says it’s been sent to courier. I contact fastway (seller advised they would be delivering) but they are saying they having gotten it yet. Any idea who I’d enquire with maybe it’s stuck at some post hub?? Seller not being helpful.

    Ordered some Pandora type charms from the Qikaola store on 17th November, arrived this morning. I paid an extra €1.90 to upgrade the post option, well worth it. Was ment to be delivered by 19/12.

    I got 3 very small items all in one go yesterday, but the odd think was they were all packaged into one envelope. Seems to have been done when they arrived in Ireland. I wonder why they did that. No big deal of course.



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    Where did you order from? AliExpress started combining packages now. However if it was done in Ireland that's interesting must be new! Actually handy to have it all it one



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,268 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    All from AE (3 different sellers). I thought I saw An Post somewhere on the plastic wrapping. It's binned now so I can't double check it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭Heighway61


    How long do parcels tend to sit once they reach the continent?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40,102 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail




  • Registered Users Posts: 18 SouthNorth


    Latest order from China has arrived in Liege. Order made 10th; dispatched on 12th.

    Curious to see if total transit time beats the last delivery of under 3 weeks😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 SouthNorth


    Update; An Post received today so will likely be delivered tomorrow. Quick enough all things considered!



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    Anyone use AliExpress shipping: 'aliexpress selection standard'? Apprently it's different to 'aliexpress standard' but I haven't used it before, apprently it ships directly from AliExpress warehouses. Anyone have experience with this shipping method from china?



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    And now this package is in liege, so fast turn around, just depends how long it spends there now, ordered 22nd, arrived in leige today 28th



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    Still no movement, last update was that arrived in transit country or district (liege Belgium) on 28th

    My tracking number is like CPXXXXXXXXXIE anyone have this before? Usually they end in NL or BE and then postnl or Belgium post send them from Belgium to Ireland, but my tracking ends in IE, does this mean An Post are delivering from Belgium? Don't understand.

    Anyone have a tracking number like this and had a successful delivery? Let me know thanks

    those CP_IE tracking numbers are not unusual. I wouldn't worry about it



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    Oh interesting thanks! Never had one before so I was confused thinking it might be dodgy. Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭WestWicklow1


    Yes, that's an An Post tracking number. It'll only show on their website when they receive it, usually the day before it's delivered.



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    Ah grand thanks I appreciate it I'll just wait it out so!



  • Registered Users Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Cookiee


    To follow up, my order is now out for delivery in Ireland, so I ordered on AliExpress on 21st feb, it arrived to liege 28th Feb, and will be delivered today 14th march! First time using 'aliexpress selection standard' and it is great! (Apprently different than just 'aliexpress standard')



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 SouthNorth


    In for a long one I sense. 😂

    Purchased item March 15th. Item dispatched 22nd, and since 24th March it resides in China after being accepted by linehaul.


    Recent COVID wave and general logisitics delays clearly having an impact.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭WestWicklow1

    @marcelorod and @WestWicklow1 both your deliveries are somewhere between Liege and Ireland. Going from my own previous experiences!


    Arrived at destination country can mean one of the transit countries (Belgium etc). Out for delivery can mean its just moving onto its next destination. I would guess there are delays again from Europe to Ireland. Next update should be An Post having scanned your items.
