    Mine was accepted by "Last Mile Carrier" yesterday...is that An Post?

    It does not have gone through customs yet, according to Ali Express.

    10 days with the "Last Mile Carrier" and counting, how long do they normally hold the parcel?

    it is not unheard of for them to take that long after arrival. was the parcel sent directly to ireland or did it go through holland like a lot of them do these days? if the tracking number ends in NL then the last mile carrier is PostNL so it has to go through their system before it is sent to ireland.

    ordered some small bits from Ali in January, supposedly dispatching from France. No sign of the parcel, or tracking info when the "guaranteed delivery" date rolled around last week so I applied for a refund which the seller didn't dispute and is now back on my card. I now see the tracking says the package is with Fastway (which I realise is probably still no better than 50/50 that it finds it's way to me :pac:)

    Thanks! It does ends in NL, but the tracking system says it was in Belgium and it arrived to Ireland 10 days ago.

    First time I order anything from them so not too clear on how they operate.

    As long as it is not Fastway...

    Just wanted to share some experiences with deliveries from China.

    1. Tomtop - 4 orders in January. 1 of which arrived in 14 days, other 3 were between 20 & 24 days. Mix of DHL eCommerce and Yun Express (Fastway are their last mile in IE)

    2. Aliexpress - Order placed Feb 27th and arrived in post March 10th which I thought was amazingly fast. Although it would appear item avoided going via land out of mainland Europe ðŸ˜

    I find things are whizzing through since Brexit. 3 week wait at the most. It's great. Although I have noticed shipping costs have increased so maybe that has something to do with it?!

    Either way I'm happy

    So another update from myself.

    Order shipped 2nd March from Aliexpress store. Arrived in Ireland Tuesday evening, delivered today.

    Not bad at all I must say as it was coming from China as opposed to Czech warehouse I had originally ordered from but I guess it coulda been a similar length of time!

    Another 6 items on the way in various stages of transit making good progress.

    Got one from Ali on Monday 15th, ordered on 13th Feb, so back to a month for a "Normal product".

    Think sometimes when you have ordered some mad tool, piece of kit that drills a hole and boils the kettle, can take longer than a pair of headphones.

    After 3 weeks mine has now moved to my "local distribution centre*...I suppose that means it needs to get sorted and then delivered.

    Never mind waiting for stuff from China. Received a package today, that I ordered on 4th Jan.....from England! I've ordered stuff from China (Wish, eBay, AliExpress etc) in Feb that has arrived quicker.

    I dunno what's happened but deliveries from China do seem to be arriving faster than before.

    Just heard the ship that got stuck in the suez has not traveled on, instead is still there being inspected and now in an insurance case so will not be going anywhere.

    If your order is in one of the 10-20,000 containers, you'll be waiting.

    Except practically none of this is going via ship.

    No experience of dx.com but aliexpress timelines should be similar I'd say

    I Ordered 27/3
    Shipped 02/04
    PostNL 06/04
    Ireland 14/04
    Delivered 22/04

    Only a small order of some window stickers so a larger parcel may take longer.
