    I am tracking it online and the sellers dropped it off at 15:23 today, and it left depot at 15:55 today. When should it arrive in ireland?

    Depends where you live (Rural/city) and which carrier is shipping it. Usually it takes 48hrs or so.

    Id expect it Friday or Monday at the latest.

    Usually delivery companies such as DHL/UPS/etc... do their deliveries in the morning ( 8-1 ) and then their collections in the afternoon ( 1 - 6 ).

    So chances are if the time says after 1 your not getting it until the next morning. It might have been scanned and packed into a van at that time for the van to be ready to go out the next morning. Let us know!

    I wonder why you posted this in the Cork City forum?

    It varies a bit depending on which courier you use, size of
    package, time of year etc. In my experience, 48 hour
    delivery takes 2-4 working days. If it was sent on Wednesday,
    you may have it by Friday, but there is a good chance you will
    have to wait until after the weekend. Keep an eye on the on-line
    tracking. Most tracking services show "out for delivery" when the
    van leaves the depot on the day of delivery.

    its not what either of em do now! they deliver and pickup throughout the day

    what would be the point of passing the door of a place, only to then have to go back there later in the day!?

    I've often received UPS deliveries at about 3pm
