Anyone still waiting for stuff from China?

archer22

An Post is a phucking disaster and unfit for purpose..even items sent from UK are taking a week to arrive.
Little wonder we can't get a national broadband scheme here...150 years after it's introduction we still don't even have an efficient postal service :rolleyes:

Ordered on 4th August, Sent 5th August and just got mail saying package has arrived in destination country and with local post. Sounds too good to be true.

I’m waiting for a small package. It’s a watch buckle. Was supposed to be mailed on the 25th or June. I’d say it’s lost.

Yet to be seen. From NL but in CN style packaging so will be ignored to a similar degree.

A phone case purchased on the 29th of July delivered on the 14th of August.
Via Singapore post. Not bad at all . That's 15 days.

Think I've just had my fastest ever. Phone case from mainland China ordered via aliexpress on Thursday 16th, arrived at my house in Dublin today. One week!

Above packaged arrived.

Tracking was update at the start of week, so the last report of it been in Ireland was for the transit country.

Within the 4 to 6 weeks expected time frame for deliveries.

ED E

33 Days. CN post untracked.

Never say never. I got one after 6 or 7 months, already forgot I bought it (and got a refund too). :cool:

To be fair though. From all the stuff I’ve ordered from China that was only the second one not to arrive.

Things have been arriving quite quickly for me, some as quickly as two weeks

2018-09-15 14:23:00 Shipment arrived at destination country. and now sign of this package.

Same with phone cases ive ordered from wish, been in ireland since the 13th.

Defenite black hole after opening up somewhere on the way from China to Ireland. Have 3 goody bags in it. The oldest since 9 August. No tracking, just seller reporting dispatch on that date.

griffdaddy

Things seem to be grinding to a halt again for some reason

Sono

Slowing people down from bulk orders for Xmas maybe for selling on

archer22

Item posted in China on 14th of August arrived today...An Post go slow on again by the look of things.

north south east west

I seem to have the same issue, item arrived in Dublin airport at the start of September and nothing since.

Sono

Funny thing is the items I ordered on the same day for €1 have been delivered but the item which cost €50 is held up, lesson learned in a big way

Collibosher

I'm wondering if the delays are delivery unit specific, my stuff comes via Swords (Dublin) depot.

I've received two orders this week that were shipped on September 11th, three weeks ago. Have been fairly consistent for the last six months, or I've been very lucky.

Possibly

I saw someone a few weeks ago on twitter mention that they were told by An Post customer services that Dublin 8 had a weeks delay on packets basically because they were getting overwhelmed by a huge number of packets

Sono

Item in Ireland since the 19th and now updated that it’s in Dublin mail centre so should have it on Monday.

maximoose

I just had 3 things delivered this morning that were shipped on 21/09 - tracking details never updated since leaving china until they went "delivered" today

Squidgy Black

Ordered something from the States that shipped on the 12th of September, tracked with USPS. Left the States on the 19th, no updates since. An Post said it hasn't been scanned and isn't in customs. I understand delays etc, but that's a disaster.

stooge

two items:

1. Value 20E. Shipped from Singapore on 15th Sept. Arrived Dublin 29th Sept and no updates since

2. Value <5E. Shipped from China 23rd Sept. Arrived Dublin 5th Oct. At customs. No updates since


Incidentally both small packages. Other larger packages I ordered after or around the same time have been delivered. Either way, An Post and Customs here showing the utmost disregard for customers.

Came home to a surprise...11 envelopes with phone cases and Apple Watch bands I had ordered from wish, ebay and AliExpress over a period from August 16th to September 24th...

Will have five packages in the pipeline soon. Probably be a nice surprise just before christmas.

I have a packet which is showing on An Post tracking as being "ITEM IN TRANSIT TO SENDER" from the Dublin 12 Mail Centre since Monday. Is it likely this has been stopped by Customs for duty? If so does anyone have the email to send the receipt to? I haven't received any notification yet.

If it's not item in transit to customer it's usually states sent to customs from the mail centre, but "transit to sender" is more likely a return to China?


A list of prohibited items to check for any possible infringement.

Could it be that part of the delivery address is missing? Does it show in the tracking as been out for delivery at all or customs? I would think if it was a prohibited item they will just destroy it.

Micro SDCard ordered on the 9th from Aliexpress (Handled by Ali..).

Shipped on the 10th arrived today the 26th.

https://t.17track.net/en#nums=RB631446770SG

^^^ According to that it arrived in the country twice? Shows the unreliability of tracking info.

2 Weeks turn around, that must be a record for An Post?

Hopefully this turns out to be a reliable card, unlike my previous cheap faulty brand I ordered (Dispute settled in my favor).




Edit:- Tested the Card today (Saturday) seems reliable enough.

It's just a Smart Plug ~ €20 value so it's not prohibited. I thought maybe it was a ramdom customs check as they thought it might have been over the €23 threshold. I bought it from AliExpress and my address (which I've got many things delivered to successfully) is saved there so it's all very strange. Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll double-check the order and address again just in case.

I think I had something similar, when there was nobody to sign at the door for the item. Where it was returned to depot. Contact An Post and see if it is back there. (I had a failed delivery note in the door at the time).

johnnykilo

Just rang An Post there. They said there was an issue with the address, must have got smudged or ripped or something. Anyway it's on it's way back to the sender. FFS! I didn't cop the "Sender" bit on the tracking, makes sense now though

Contact the aliexpress seller first, and inform them of the item been returned, you may need to open a dispute before your purchase protection runs out, if you get no response from the seller.

Ordered an item, money taken from my account on the 15th of October, it's now the 39th of October,no package even though it was shipped from China on the 19th, very dissapointed especially when they were quick to take my money

Obviously dispute opened, refund issued.
