Amazon

Amazon new delivery service was great delivered on sat and suns etc but for last few months everything is anpost, has something changed? I'm a bit in countryside wonder is this reason? Anyone else not getting Amazon vans but back to anpost?

Is anybody else having Amazon parcels via AnPost stuck in Dublin since February 8 (Wednesday)?

I first got a mail telling me there will be a 1-2 delay but it's still in Dublin and now the tracker on Amazon tells me that I should come back tommorrow for a refund.

Just wondering if it's only me or if there was a problem with the container.

I've noticed the same this year. Most Amazon UK deliveries Monday to Friday are An Post. Saturday and Sunday deliveries are by Amazon. I live in North Dublin.

90%+ of my Amazon orders last year were delivered by Amazon.

Most annoyingly, all orders from Amazon.de have been sent by An Post which means they take longer. Mainly because they don't deliver at the weekend.

Amazon Delivery is really annoying at this time.

I have 1 parcel via AnPost stuck in Dublin with them telling me I can get a refund but the prices of all items in it went up, so re-ordering is now more expensive.

Today I was expecting four parcels via Amazon Prime and only one showed up, the other three are lost somewhere in the irish sea as they have not gotten into Ireland and CS is telling me that hopefully I get them tomorrow, otherwise I can ask for a refund in 3 days.

2 weeks ago, they also lost two parcels in the irish sea, this is getting annoying.

Was the order fulfilled by Amazon though?

Just me than, well Refunds coming and maybe I can get CS to give me a free prime month for my trouble.

Yes, and you are shown this in the checkout process in the order summary.

It will give you the items without UK VAT and Import Fees Deposit with VAT/Duty to make up the total amount payable.

So, a UK item with no Duty for 195£ will now cost you 162.50£ plus 37.38£ for a total of £199.88!

And similarly, if the goods require Custom Duty, then those would be added to the Import Fees Deposit and charged during checkout. Now most common goods on Amazon don't attract Duty but then Amazon will show you it and charge it as Deposit.

So, if during the checkout Horse7 paid an import fee deposit then no additional charge should be, but if the goods are for example from Marketplace and no Import Fee Deposit was paid (or the wrong) then a charge would occur.

Hi everyone. I moved to Ireland (Dublin) a few years ago from Italy and since then I always hope that the service will improve sooner or later, but it hasn't.

I have been waiting for ages to see faster deliveries with the new warehouse built on Irish soil, but apparently that didn't change things much. Still some type of items are not available here (e.g power banks/alcool) and the variety of items in general is very limited (compared for example to the Amazon.it shop). Also UK shop does not seems stocked as much as the other european counterparts.

For example in italy without a Prime membership you can tipically expect your items to be delivered after 48 hrs (50% of times they will arrive the day after). If you have Prime you can see loads of articles available for same day delivery (only in the major 15 cities) and most items will be delivered the day after.

The service is very quick also in relation to returning goods (no need to go to the post office, a courier will always come to your place to collect your returned item).

Do you think the situation is gonna be better soon here? Maybe the warehouse here didn't really open yet? Will the service get better once we will have a .ie website here?

Cheers! :)

I've had several next day deliveries in Dublin in the last two months.

Import Fees Deposit (IFD); VAT and Duties

For deliveries of goods sold or fulfilled by Amazon to the EU you will either be charged VAT or an Import Fees Deposit at checkout. The price you are charged will not increase post checkout, unless you are a business customer.

This is what I found confusing,. Item for sale on Amazon doesn't mean sold by Amazon, and there wasn't any taxes added on at the checkout.

All items show who fulfils and dispatches them.

here's the one I'm talking about

The buying options clearly show its sold by a third part.

There is usually a warning about that at checkout and it asks if you want additional packaging.

It would be clearer to state items sold by 3rd parties will not be charged at the checkout for taxes but will be charged prior to delivery in Dublin
