    I am waiting for something and unlike previous orders this one has tracking. Speedpak or something. Which tells me it arrived in Ireland on the 23rd. Its a low cost item around €10 so customs shouldn't be an issue but yet there is no sign of it.

    When things from China take forever I always assumed its because its on some ship for weeks. Seems there is more to it than that.

    I had one a few weeks ago that had hit Ireland about 6 weeks prior. bUt I'm also getting ones the day after they hit ireland, so I'm not sure how they prioritise them, it might be pot luck.

    does the tracking tell you that it arrived in ireland or does it tell you that it arrived in destination country?

    Another one, LX........CN format, posted 14 Jul, arrived today. But despite my name on it, content's nowhere near what I ever bought from China. Straight to the bin.

    For vaping or tools/torches (for adult toys as well maybe).

    Why china? You get them affordably from vape stores here/online?
    If not try 'fogstar' uk website.

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    Two packages from AE have now gone to status "Accepted by Last Mile Carrier" (after being at Arrived at destination country for the past month) within 24 hours of each other (even tho one package was posted 3 weeks after the first one)

    Thought hell yeah then checked 17 Track and now says "The item is at the PostNL sorting center" :(

    At least they're nearly here-ish

    Yeah that’s the problem when they send them via a third country, the tracking thinks the items have hit Ireland when in reality they’ve hit the middle country. I always check that countries own tracking, like if the tracking number ends no you know it’s Netherlands so go on the postnl website.

    If it helps postnl have gotten a lot fast the last few weeks with items.

    A plus point though when going through a third party especially holland is you don’t get hit with extra tax charges.

    I buy off one seller regularly and during the height of civic he switched to dhl so I got it quicker and each time I got vat charges, now it’s back to postnl it’s 2 weeks slower by no charges.

    Tracked package from China to Beligian post, They told me item arrived in Ireland yesterday but that the tracking number was for the container and that tracking for my item was not possible once in Ireland. Anyone any idea how long it should take now?

    I have an AliExpress order that is shown delivered now for 2 weeks. I've contacted the seller who insists the item has been delivered and keeps sending me screenshots of the tracking. I rang An Post last week and the person I got said that a lot of tracking numbers are getting mixed up coming from China and routed through Holland. She insists the item hasn't been delivered and I need to make contact with the seller which I did. He's still saying it's delivered. My buyer protection is running out so think I'm going to have to open a dispute but if the item is shown as delivered what hope do I have of getting a refund? Seller doesn't seem to care when I told him about opening a dispute which is unusual.

    There may be light at the end of the tunnel so.
    I met the postman today, who said there is a load of stuff that will be delivered this week. Talked about a backlog being released and cleared. Perhaps it's a customs thing.
    Anyway, hopefully I get the stuff that I ordered two months ago. I won't be ordering tat from China again though, can't be bothered.

    Ordered a few things from China on ebay - arrived in about 2 weeks
    It may be more an issue with PostNL

    A few days ago I put in a query/refund request for two eBay orders that I made 19 weeks ago that hasn't arrived. The tracking constantly showed something like Shipped To Airline or some other waffle.

    Contacted both sellers middle of last week and both said that they'd resend the items.

    .....And now ^^^ saying that there is a load of stuff that will be delivered this week

    Arrgh!!!! I've already put in (and received) a refund on one Ali order, and then received the product. But these are now 19 weeks missing.

    Am I jinxed? If my missing orders now arrive this week I'm never ordering from China again :D

    17track.net now shows my package as having reached Dublin with the below status

    2020-08-12 10:12
    Dublin, arrive at the site.

    It was posted via China post e-packet .
    Does it now go into the hands of an post and it’s pot luck when it gets delivered to me ?
    Also , does the tracking number become trackable with an post website ?
    Curious as possibly the supplier has left off one key part of my address in error .

    Thanks for any pointers .

    Got a delivery today - one of those fake-ish usb flash drives. Strange thing is that it is identical to one I received last week. And I only ordered one. Both packages were reshipped by Worldtech Logistics in Germany on 22/06.

    Ordered from Ali on the 10th June. Last update from Post NL is that was handed over in bulk on the 8th July. Very annoying given it’s an $400 item. 25 days before I can file an dispute

    Getting down to sub month levels. LT codes shipping via NL. The dutch drop ship route is killing it.
