    Hi all
    Anyone else experiencing a delay with their subscription from Bailies?
    My December delivery (26th is the date) has still not arrived. I contacted them and they gave me assurances that it was on the way.
    No sign yet!

    I had issues also. Wrong bags sent and then disappearing bags. They were very responsive but their courier seems to have been letting them down.

    Wonderful coffee.

    Do they still deliver with DPD but w/o a tracking no? I found that odd and confusing. Must be some budget service.

    yeah, and DPD won't talk to you about lost stuff unless there is a tracking number

    those cards they stick in your door aren't worth a shíte if something is lost.

    I emailed them. And said it shipped on the fourth and should be with me today or tomorrow. So lets see.

    I got a text from DPD when my Bailies stuff was coming assumed it was because of my parcel wizard account

    my April shipment hasn't arrived yet.

    my confidence levels in DPD are at an all time low

    Mine has shipped, email 1st April confirming.
    Have it in the press a few days ago.

    It'll arrive .....I wouldn't worry.

    Mine is delayed also. I've gone into their tracking system and it says that royal mail is still waiting on the package from sender....

    I contacted Bailies on Thursday (7th apr) and they said they had sent my April coffee on the 2nd, but for some reason DPD had sent it back to them.

    They re-sent the April microlot, and it arrived this morning, but they had stuck a second bag into the shipment.

    I have to say, that whenever I've had issues with my Bailies deliveries it's always been an issue with DPD, but Bailies Customer Service is second to none.

    So their tracking now says delivered but no sign.

    That’s four out of the last five months I’ve had issues. I’ve had to chase it with them three out of those four times to get it.

    It’s my favourite coffee, but becoming more hassle than its worth.

    it's not Bailies at fault imo

    they need to absolutely change courier though

    That was my view the first few times.... but given these issues seem so constant and impacting so many customers its on them to change their courier.

    Ditto mine was fine this month. I'm still missing a bag from last month but at this point they've just said they'll put it in the box next month.

    So far, only as a pour over using my moccamaster. Really happy with it and enjoying it.

    My subscription just stopped. Don't know why. Didn't chase it up.... must send them an email. Very odd.

    So I got my regular delivery fine. But the missing one from the previous month that I said just stuck in with this month didn't come. Contacted them and they said they had sent it already and now will have to send it again.

    It really feels like I'm having to contact them every single month...... I love their coffee but there comes a point where its more pain than its worth....

    Ordered at 6am on Wednesday, had my coffee at lunchtime on Thursday, via DPD. Roast dates from 28th/29th (5 days previous), which is perfect for me.

    Another thumbs up for Guatemala El Limonar.
