    Probably no one unless they have them in stock in Ireland. Most lbs will be ordering parts in from UK or conti Europe so parts are gonna be scarce

    the only time i've ever ordered anything online for the bike was from a chap in cork trading as bikeman.ie; good customer service but he's a very small player compared to the sites being discussed here.

    I looked at my AllTricks tracking in the past and all deliveries seem to go through Chronopost in Roissy directly to Ireland (either Shannon or UK) where DPD then take over. I'd say you should be safe enough.

    My two orders were dispatched in the first week of December, your not only fighting Brexit, you are dealing with Fastway

    Just on this, ordered parts from bike components last weekend, email to say DHL (Köln) have it, currently tracking is saying it has been sent to an Post but no further movement since Wednesday.
    Typically my experience has been they stock pile the orders for a week in Koln before shipping, An Post only register it even existed after it has arrived. Basically, you should have it in the first few days of next week.

    Stuff I ordered with Bike-Discount is moving too, looks like it could finally arrive tomorrow.

    "The shipment has left the import parcel center in the destination country/destination area."

    I've a Sigma Sports order on the way (I'm in France). DHL tracking is saying "Some options are unavailable because you may owe duty and/or VAT on this shipment. If you owe duty and/or VAT you will receive a message with the amount owed. Please pay promptly to avoid any delivery delay."

    Not due to arrive until Wednesday so over two weeks processing time

    Movement with mine also. I never followed up with cancelling the order as it's nothing overly important so can wait. I'm curious now though if any duty will be applied.

    They don’t just sell in to Europe though, CRC and Wiggle both sell globally, so they should fully understand the intricacies of selling across borders.

    I think that's harsh. The UK government have had four years to get a plan of where and what the sunlit uplands of brexit will look like and only got the trade deal sorted at the last minute.

    How is a company supposed to get stuff across an international border when the customs and revenue staff don't properly know? How many extra staff have the UK recruited and trained? How much infrastructure? I bet less was spent on that than the Boris bridge.

    It's Xmas, it's covid and it's those 50.2% tools across the water have come together to make a perfect mug of noodle ****e soup with parcels floating around lost in the depths.

    My sonwho works in Fastway has been told to expect tobe very busy next week as a lot of stuff trapped in limbo due to brexit/customs is expected to be freed up early in the week.
    May give some of ya's some hope.


    I have a shopping list for bike.24 so hopefully they start shipping to us soon!

    Same here dispatched on the 27th but no sign of it or scan from fastway. Tomorrow is 10 days so have to fill in lost package report and await a refund. I'd say they just stalled all deliveries ordered around that time to see what charges were due.

    I read a post by someone this morning that had gotten a parcel from DPD delivered only for the driver to return and ask for the parcel back as there was a customs bill outstanding on it.

    I’d love to have been that recipient! The delivery driver would be told where to go sharpish!

    Fastway have scanned my CRC order from the 31st. Hopefully that'll arrive today or tomorrow. In no great hurry for it.


    Another order coming in from England. That's stuck somewhere.
    Royal Mail tracking last updated on Friday morning at 4am with "your item is now leaving the UK". Link provided to continue the tracking with An Post but as of now An Post haven't got it on their system. :(

    Edit
    It's in Ireland now :-)
    Probably gonna have to pay VAT on it but will wait and see sure

    My CRC order arrived today. Realistically, with a bank.holiday on New Years day the delivery time wasn't that bad, on the 7th working day, we've just got used to really fast deliveries.

    Set of wheels ordered from Bike discount.de on the 7th Jan, look like they are out for delivery today. They use DPD. Was expecting it to take a few weeks so very happy with the speed.
