Waiting for package from Russia. Posted 19 October.
Aftership shows the following tracking information.
Presume I have another while to wait?

Looking at the screenshot, shows as Delivered on the top, did you check the status in the AnPost website.

Those statuses seem to say delivered whenever the package arrives in Ireland.
Monday 29 October was a bank holiday and I was home all day.

It can't be tracked on the An Post website - when I put the reference I get this response
" Our Item Tracking system has not recognised the number(s) that you have entered.

Please check you have entered the correct tracking number. However, it is possible that we may not yet have received your item. Please try tracking your item again later. "

The Track17 tracking info says

2018-10-29 14:00
Ireland, IEDUBA, Processing of international mail, Processing by designated postal operator

2018-10-29 10:52
Ireland, DUB, Carrier processing, Delivered

Does it use a standard format tracking ID? eg: RY10101010101RU

Rang An Post who were able to check another internal-only site that says the package was in Zurich on 29 October and has not arrived in their system yet. Or it may be at Customs.....

I will give it until end of week and then ask sender to initiate trace via Russian Post (An Post suggested this)

Nearly the start of silly season but I've noticed a slowdown in epackets the past few weeks, usually 7 to 10 days but coming in at 15/18 on the last 3 for me. I wonder will 11:11 cripple anpost again this year with packages arriving In January or will they pull out the fingers this time around.

Package from Russia delivered this afternoon.
19 October - 8 November (20 days).

Anyone ordering from Aliexpress this weekend as part of the 11.11 sale? Is it worth taking the risk to order christmas presents or will they take forever?

Had a look at my 11.11 orders last year and most arrived after Christmas but about a third came before Christmas so its the luck of the draw really.

Not China - but is anyone having issues ordering from the States?

I ordered an item on 29 October and got the last tracking update (In Transit to Next Facility) from USPS on 4 November - nothing is showing up with An Post. Nothing has arrived yet.

I ordered another small item on 3 November and got the last tracking update (In Transit to Next Facility) from USPS on 8 November - nothing is showing up with An Post, but it was delivered today.

Could the first item be in Customs or has it gone walkabout?

And what''s happening with the An Post tracking?

Cheers for any help!

NewbridgeIR

Ordered CD from the US on Sunday. It arrived today.

While I haven't had any significant delays on tracked Chinese shipments via An Post for months, I think only one has showed up on their tracking in that time.

Around another 20 have just turned up in a around two weeks or so, but are never scanned/tracked once they reach Ireland.

otherfrog

Thanks folks.

The item that arrived yesterday was just in a padded envelope and after having a read back through previous posts - it seems there's a chance that larger packages, like the one I'm waiting on, may be sitting around Portlaoise waiting to be scanned/processed for Customs duty/VAT.

Hopefully that's all it is, as it's a birthday present (to myself!)

My Russian package (see previous page) only appeared on the An Post tracking the evening before delivery despite having arrived in Ireland 10 days beforehand. It must have been stuck in a cage full of unscanned parcels.

Usually stuff from Japan goes very quickly (up to 10 days). Not this time, surprisingly.



Even Chinese one was quicker.

Hi all,

In case anyone runs into the same thing - today I got the package that shipped from the States on the 29 October - it went through Customs.

Not a thing showing on the An Post tracking page.

So the tracking works on the USPS side, but not a thing once it arrives in Ireland.

Shipped by Turkey Post!

A replacement battery for my Nexus 9.

There must be a big container of epackets sitting up somewhere, I've 5 packages on the way, all sent around the 7/11 and no sign of yet, but I've had ordinary chinapost packets sent on 15/11 arrive over the past few day's. Normally its the opposite way around

Another one of my 11/11 orders arrived.

China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus

The strange thing is I had another order on the same flight (tracking info), that didn't arrive with it, so maybe Monday for that parcel.

joujoujou

Even through UK is significantly quicker than usual. Had one sent to Parcel Wizard - 6 days in total, regular post. :eek:

the e-packet service seems to be the best value / best speed combo from what I've seen.

mainly available on aliexpress but not on all items.

Black Friday Nov 23rd Order delivered today (10 Dec).

AliExpress Standard Shipping


Still waiting on 3 other 11/11 orders. And another Black Friday order.


What is strange, is a delivery that was suppose to be on the same flight as a product I already received, has not arrived yet. I know you can not believe in tracking info.

Saturday delivery (15th Dec) of one of my 11/11 orders

China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus


Still missing one parcel from that date, feeling it is lost in transit, because it was suppose to be on the same flight as one of my received parcels.

Edit: - Had another parcel delivered during the week (Tuesday).

Got a package today that was shipped two weeks ago :eek:

Just checked my ali account.

Looks like all 11.11 orders already arrived.

Now, 3 out of 10 Black Friday purchases arrived as well.

7 and 9 days items sent by Dutch Post and Singapore Post and 16 days one China Post (door to door tracked). Not bad.

I ordered something there two weeks ago. Wasn't expecting it until mid Jan, but apparently it's touched down in Ireland as of yesterday. Wonder how long it'll take to be delivered from there...

Shn99

Won’t be here before Xmas anyway, huge delays at AP. Parcels being prioritized at the mo. I’m guessing all the Chinese packages will be thrown in a container until after Xmas

Oh definitely not. I'm mostly surprised it made it here already.

Ordered something from an Aliexpress seller on December 18th, wasn't in a hurry for it so selected standard China Post small packet option. Fully expected it to take ages to arrive what with Xmas and the issues that An Post have had and are still having.

It arrived two days ago, January 2nd

It’s the luck of the draw really. I ordered something from Ali on the 8th of Dec. it arrived to Ireland via Singapore post on the 18th of Dec. still waiting for it to show up on an post tracking.

I ordered something on the 5th of December but it hasn't even departed China yet according to the tracking. Looks like it got caught in a loop

2018-12-08 04:42 Leave "Shenzhen Center", Next stop "Shenzhen Center"

Annoying though. It's something I actually want. Part of me is hoping the tracking is broken and it'll arrive some morning.

joujoujou

Two items arrived today. Both China Post, both fully tracked. 9 days and 38 days respectively.

Somedaythefire

I actually have a question, this is the first time I've ordered from Aliexpress and it's had a tracking number. Will that number show up in An Post when they do scan it?

Also, would it be scanned before it goes to customs, or could it be held up in customs without me actually knowing it's there.

joujoujou

Some items even having tracking no. will never appear on AnPost tracking facility - because some of them offer tracking only until the moment they reach Chinese border.

Ah ok, I have a singapore post # and the singpost website says it's reached Ireland and An Post.

joujoujou

So more than likely that one will eventually appear on AnPost tracking thingy.

But it will take a while. Couple of months ago someone posted AnPost's reply stating how long (really long sometimes) they hold some items.

Missed delivery yesterday, picked up from the DSU in the evening. Cross shipping via Germany with DHL eCommerce. Interestingly its outbound code from DE should have been UV111111111DE, from the S10 reference maybe it shouldnt be be tracked by why bother relabeling then.

My Dec 27th package arrived today. Dec 6th package still out in the ether. I assume it's with customs.

Maybe. I just find it weird that something ordered later arrives first. Same ali store, same postage company. Probably because the first one arrived before Christmas and they threw it in the cages?

It's getting close to the date listed on Aliexpress as to when I should open a Dispute about my order. Should I wait for it to pass or open the Dispute before that date? I know sellers are quick to try and trick you into missing the dispute deadline so don't want to get caught

@xckjoo Message the seller and request an extension of about 2 weeks for your purchase protection.

Shipments can take longer than usual this time of year.

I'm more worried about running into Chinese New Year and it'll be another month before I get it resolved
