    No but that's typical of them I ordered stuff in February and it didn't ship for a whole week so expect a little longer over the volume of orders during the sale. But once it does ship they will send tracking info and they do keep it up to date so you can see exactly where is it and how long more it will take and on the day of delivery you will be notified that it's on board for delivery.

    I'm sure it said 3-4 weeks when I placed my order, not expecting it any time soon anyway.

    I've two orders 3 days apart

    One is 25243XXX
    The other is 25271XXX

    So suggests over 27,000 orders if it's a straight numerical system that they use.

    With 365,000 reviews, that is quite plausible, so 3-4 weeks delivery is probably what you will get.

    Yeah it said may take up to a 4 week wait but it might come just in time for the April mid term I got a lot of books for my kids!

    Nothing. I emailed them last night but no reply yet. I imagine everything will be slowed right down now.

    Yeah I was thinking they would be delayed more now! But the post seems to be ok within ireland. Usually they send a dispatch email a week later they arrive

    My delivery is coming in 3 parts, got the first one last Friday via parcel Mortel, second is coming today and third TBC. Even with the PM costs it's still a bargain.

    I ordered 3 march as well, just logged in there and the status is pending, however it also says "Delivered to" followed by my office address. But the office is closed up for the time being with everyone working from home. I asked them to change to my home address but if it's already been delivered who knows where it is or when I'll actually get it.

    Did you have your home address or a different one that you don't have access to at the moment? Hopefully they can tell you where they have been delivered to.

    Had my home address down. I emailed them 3 days ago enquiring about where my order was, got nothing..... Am beginning to wonder if this is a scam?

    I placed my order on 2 March - about 20 books/sets - and have received 3 so far, all sent separately in different boxes. Status online on my account still says "Pending". I used Address Pal, never thinking that every single book would be sent separately, so really hope the rest of my items are sent together or else it's gonna get mighty 'spensive!

    I ordered mine on the 3rd of March also.
    Was hoping they would be shipped and delivered within the month but hopefully giving them the 4 weeks they should post on the 24th of March and then usually takes a week

    The place has hundreds of thousands of books. Massive number of orders and state clearly that orders will take 4 weeks.

    So if like me you ordered early March, then don't expect delivery until early April.

    If you get it earlier, then it's a bonus
