I noticed a very few items have next day delivery. I was looking for phone cases and saw the otterbox cases would be delivered tomorrow.
Is there a filter or hack to find items like this?
At the moment, I am just pressing Ctrl + F to find the word "Tomorrow".
MOD: There is a big Amazon thread that I moved your earlier thread to. Please check for other similar threads before starting a new one.
Hi all,
I've ordered a package on Amazon and the tracking number is from Whistl.
Anyone familiar with this? Is this a courier or is An Post delivering my item?
Whistl are what was once TNT couriers.
I have no idea how Amazon does this, I ordered 9 items (way cheaper than in the stores here) and they split the order into 7 packages (all with Amazon Logistics).
Technically formally TNT post, TNT express is part of FedEx now
Must be to do with with which Fulfilment Centre they're in. I don't mind when Amazon do it but have had experience of other UK retailers splitting orders and sending individually - & An Post charging €3.50 + VAT on each one so all savings wiped out.
Are you a prime member? They seem to aggregate deliveries a little more if you don't have prime.
Yeah, Prime member, but still, it's madness.
But then again if the Prime Driver gets time for 7 parcels allocated and just has to do one drop, it's better for him too because he get's a little break, those guys really don't have it easy.
You can add to that relatively cheap items that Amazon are sending singly from warehouses in Europe - more madness?
Cheapest free single item I've received recently (from UK) cost me a whopping £1.38.
I used to wait till I had a few cheap items to make up an order but don't even bother now. Down in Waterford so An Post delivery and I just think to myself it keeps the postman in a job.
So what courier company are they?
Try this https://www.whistl.co.uk/
Thanks so do they deliver themselves or do other couriers like Fastway actually do the delivery of their packages? It's just I've never heard of Whistl before, lol
A few years back Amazon used to allow you to select to group deliveries into one shipment which reduced delivery charges if I remember correctly. They no longer offer this and just ship items out at random... which - unless you're paying import fees per delivery - doesn't affect the customer or the price they pay but I imagine it increases costs for Amazon so I find it strange that they removed the grouping option
There’s no additional import fees on Amazon UK once item “dispatches from” Amazon.
I want to order a phone but Amazon are saying that someone will have to be here to give the One Time Password. I don't want to have to take a day off. If it were coming via AnPost I guess I could collect it from my Post Office but I have no idea who Amazon will use. Any suggestions please.
Never heard of that but a couple of times Amazon have said someone had to be in to sign for an item but it never happened. Item just came in the post as usual.
It's used for high value items & seems to attract fraud according to posts online.
I actually found the same phone much cheaper on Amazon Italy & they don't use the password system.
Hey all,
Quick question
I've ordered from Amazon, delivery is by Whistl.
Tracking my item using the tracking number provided an update saying
" Item process by Whistl. "
That was early this morning.
My estimated delivery date window is;
April 12 - April 30.
So does it look likely I could receive the item this week? Coming from the UK.
I find whenever an Amazon package goes missing and is never delivered, Amazon support send me a new one within 5 seconds on the chat, no questions asked.
I just had a package go AWOL, and it's probably the 3rd one this year. When I was in the chat I was worried that they might think I'm a scammer.
AnPost tracking says it has been "out for delivery" for the last 4 days. Mod: <snip> Less of the allegation please.
Anyway, they never seem to have any issue sending a replacement instantly.
Makes me wonder, do you think they fine / charge an post for these missing packages? I definitely would if I was Jeff Bezos. Just give the customer whatever they want and then send AnPost the bill.
Fecking waiting over a week for this to update. Took 5 days for it to ship in the first place.
Does stuff get stuck here often?
I found slight delays with Amazon stuff from France and some even arrived while still shown as being in France.
Did you get any notification from an post the package was in Ireland while Amazon showing in France?
If package has an post tracking ID usually I get a text message saying item to be delivered next working day once it lands in Dublin…
Normally wouldnt be arsed but I need this VR gear for a new headset asap.
I never get An Post texts. Never went for it. I'd need the phone turned on for that! (No mobile reception at home).
I had two packages depart from France at 12.30 pm on Friday. Both were due to be delivered on Monday. One was delivered today, still no sign of the other.
I reckon Storm Kathleen might have delayed the crossings. I've experienced similar delays with Amazon packages before when there was bad weather.
if you sign up at AnPost for my account you can choose to get email notifications instead of text messages.
As long as the sender transmits either the registered phone number or email to AnPost you will get an email when AnPost receives it and when it’s going out to be delivered.
Very useful as it also allows to redirect in case you are not home etc.
Thanks, but I'm happy enough with using the tracking on Amazon. Nothing is ever urgent and there's always someone home, or the postman knows where to leave it.
This is what my delivery tracking is showing up 9/4/2024.
Anyone hazard a guess when I should receive my item based on the above info?
Did you contact Whistl and ask them?
I used their tracking which stated my parcel as "Collected" two days ago.
