My current order for 2 pc games(placed 6th Dec) went dispatched very quickly and showed a delivery date of today but my postman had no games for me Also the An Post tracking number assigned to the delivery does not exist. It looks like they are dispatching these from their Irish Centre but they have possibly screwed up?

Each order has an estimated delivery date by which the parcel should be delivered. If a parcel hasn't arrived by then, we'll ask you to wait a little longer for it to be delivered in case of unforeseen delays.

How long we'll ask you to wait is calculated based on the order's delivery method. For your order #026-*******-******* we won't ask you to wait beyond 17 December 2015.

We ask you to wait until then because this order may reach you before a replacement order would. Creating a replacement order now may cause inconvenience for you resulting in you having to return an unwanted duplicated item.


Your parcel and is in transit with AP_LETTER, but was sent by an untrackable method so, unfortunately, I unable to confirm its exact location.

When your order does arrive there's no need to contact us. However, if you haven't received it by 17 December 2015, please let us know and we'll be happy to replace it free of charge, or refund you if a replacement is unavailable.

We hope to see you again soon.

About Undeliverable Parcels

Occasionally parcels are returned to us as undeliverable. As we can’t re-dispatch orders that have been returned to us, when a carrier returns a parcel as undeliverable we’ll issue you a full refund, including the delivery costs.

If you'd still like to purchase the items in a parcel that's been returned to us as "undeliverable" you'll need to place a new order.

A parcel might be returned as undeliverable for several reasons:

Incorrect address. If the address is incorrect or outdated the parcel will typically be returned to us by the carrier or the unintended recipient. Please double-check the address carefully when placing your order. For more information about adding, editing and deleting addresses from your Address Book see Add & Manage Addresses.

Incorrect address format. If our system doesn't recognise the way an address was entered the parcel may be assigned to a carrier that can't deliver to that address.

Failed delivery attempts. Most of our carriers will make more than one attempt to deliver a parcel. If they find that they can't successfully deliver your parcel it'll be returned to us.

Refused by recipient. A gift recipient who isn't expecting a gift may refuse a parcel if they believe it's being delivered to them by mistake. In this case we'll refund the gift purchaser and let them know by e-mail. If you want to place a new order for the gift, you may want to let the recipient know that a surprise is on the way.

Illegible address. In rare cases address labels may become impossible to read in transit. If that happens a carrier will return the parcel to us.

Damaged in transit. If a parcel is damaged while it's on its way to you the carrier may return it without attempting delivery.
