    Monday: Ordered memory of an Irish company - paid extra for next day DHL delivery.

    Tuesday: Bought a hard drive off a guy in Ireland on ebay and paid for it immediately.

    Wednesday: Friend in Galway sends me a package.

    Friday morning: I have the package from my friend.
    No sign of the DHL package.
    No sign of the ebay package.

    :mad: Last time I pay extra for 'fast' delivery.

    thats because delivery in ireland is a bit hit and miss, especially in rural areas . The shambles that is our postal service is the worst aspect of it.

    Its all too hit and miss. We need a service like the 24hr they have in the UK. Yes you pay more, but you get what you pay for.
    Also on the subject of delivery, I hate the fact that Argo charge for deliverys outside of Dublin. There are now stores all over the country but for anything other than the smallest of items you have to have them delivered. This stinks as the item you want maybe cheeper that any where else but by the time you add a delivery charge on top it becomes more expensive. Come on Argos sort this out!
