    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

    I have given up all hope of ever receiving any of the orders I made from Aliexpress in March-May. I never put in a claim for any of there as they previously arrived after I put through a claim. Orders I made in July have started to arrive, and I have now reordered some of the stuff from March like phone covers. Anybody else still not received Aliexpress orders from March-May?

    Still waiting on an item ordered from AliExpress on March 31st, it disappeared from tracking until July 13th when it arrived in Ireland, Customs nabbed it on July 23rd, processed and released it on July 27th but I'm still waiting for it to be delivered by An Post. Tracking tells me that it's still with Customs in Athlone, does anyone know what the normal holding time is?

    Received an order from Joom Tues. Order was placed 9th August so it got here very fast! But it wasn't what I ordered....I ordered multi-coloured braid fishing line and they sent single colour which is a PITA when you are trying to gauge cast distance. Contacted Joom support and straight away (don't think they even read and understood my message) offered a refund for defective items.

    From my own experience, China post small package always arrives on time or early, I just got a package sent with that shipping that took 19 days from order to delivery. I've only ordered one thing using yanwen which still hasn't arrived, that's just my experience! I always pick China post small package if it's available and I've always received them. I haven't used yanwen enough to give definitive answer, but I suggest china post if you can
