Anyone still waiting for stuff from China?

Yes, I have a very low value item that arrived in the country on 4 December but still haven't got delivery of it nor is it showing on An Posts tracking.

it will not appear on An Post's tracking until near when it will be delivered.

they don't want items registered on their system until then as people could annoy them. until they do that they can say they haven't got it yet.

before that it will be languishing in a postal cage somewhere.

that's how they roll.

This is currently my timeline! Ordered the 22nd of October - has anyone had goods arrived in Ireland for 12 days without hearing any further updates? Not sure if I should be getting worried that goods have been lost! No sign of the package on An Post tracking website.

Had a package shipped from China on the 15th November, arrived in Dublin on the 23rd and no movement since. Ordered 2 other packages from the same company since then and both arrived within 2 weeks, this one just seems to have gotten stuck.

Copying my post from another thread:

Also got a Yanwen package, they're a mail aggregator, normally its CN bulk then dispatched from NL. This time:

"FROM:
Bejing Yanwen Logistics Co,
C/O PO BOX 123...
An Post Portlaoise
Co Laois
R32A32F"

Also branded with a very low res AnPost logo. Nice bit of business for AP there. Yanwen cover a LOT of packages from Ali that used to be CN Post directly. 5/12 to 23/12 is good going from China.

Hopefully they keep this up.

LT_____NL tracking number, 33 days.

Cut open here (anpost stickers stating so), nothing missing, but small bits damaged.

Small package from China , arrived Dublin 14th December, nothing since .
I assume it’s in a big pile of China post that an post will get to in the new year once the Xmas rush is over ?

Anyone else still waiting? Thanks

Still waiting on 1 item, in Dublin since November 13th or 15th. Other items have skipped some tracking info and just arrived with the postman.

I did order an item with shipping from Spain on the 20th but still no info at all, and the track number looks suspect.

jc77

One item I'm still waiting on since November 8th shows as being delivered by An Post December 4th, but nothing arrived to my home or with any of my neighbours. Messaged An Post & they referred me back to seller. When I contacted seller, they said to wait the protection time & if not arrived by then, to open dispute via AE.

still waiting on 4 orders from october and 1 from November. I did get notified the Nov order had arrived in country

I took a gamble on December 28th and ordered stuff worth €40 from banggood. They gave an estimated delivery of February 27th. Let's see how this works out...

Oh, I'm waiting on 1 package since around that time so hopefully it's a sign.

I'm waiting for a package from Spain bought on AliExpress but no tracking showing at all. I contacted the seller and they said it'll be delivered by Fastway, so that's 1 I'll be lucky to see.

Waiting on one package ordered 05 October. Had given up all hope and it finally arrived today!

So the package from Aliexpress Spain was on my doorstep this morning, soaked wet but luckily the contents were well packaged.
I opened and won a dispute so I'll purchase the item again and tell the seller not to ship.
That just leaves the low value item from November which is apparently in Dublin.

double post.

Two more items arrived today. Am still waiting on two more.

another delivery today

Got my November package today, sitting in Dublin since the 15th of November.

The package I ordered from AliExpress to be delivered from Spain was actually sent from China. A good torch behind the packaging revealed a hidden sticker below the Fastway label with another tracking number showing it left China on the 23rd of December. So can't see the point ordering from the European warehouses if it's all coming from China anyway.

drogon.

I am really surprised, but ordered something from AE on the 1st of Jan and it arrived yesterday, odd thing is I am still waiting on stuff from Amazon UK that bought end the year (30th Dec) with prime shipping !

The order from AE was shipped via Amsterdam.

Excuse my ignorance as I never bought stuff from China before but i'm in need of a particular remote control and my best chance is Chinese online retailer

Can anyone recommend a retailer for me with fast shipping?

For example what is aliexpress like?

This is what i'm looking for

Expect delayed deliveries from China with 'China New year' / covid / transport back logs. Some ebay sellers won't even ship.

Friday
, 12 February
Chinese New Year 2021

The country shuts down for a 2 week plus period.

If you really want it pay DHL € 8,88 shipping and you should have it sooner than the 6 to 8 week slow boat from china.

Think of it as China's Amazon, I ordered plenty of cheap stuff from it in the past.

Big Thread here.

The seller you linked is reviewed well but the item has only 1.

Chinese New Year starts on February 12, 2021 and ends on February 22, 2021. This public holiday results in seven days off of work for employees, though celebrations can last for more than two weeks. That said, expect factory shutdowns for two weeks or so.

Don't talk to me about shipments.

1) Ordered something online on Nov 30th (seems it was coming from China but the website was Canadian). Anyway, it eventually made its way to "Destination country" (Ireland), where it's been sitting since December 18th. No further update. Not sure who the carrier is (it's not stated in the Chinese tracking site) but two emails to the company's customer service later and still no update.

2) Got an email from An Post the other day saying DHL Poland were asking about a package to be delivered. An Post tracking said "We have your post in Dublin Parcel Hub, Dublin 12) on December 5th.

Turns out it was a package that I received from TNT on November 26th!

The An Post tracking system is a joke. Not sure how in the world why DHL were asking An Post about a TNT package, but why An Post say they have the package 11 days after it was delivered.

Mod - The Chinese package seems more relevant to this thread.

I think from reading a lot of the threads here, their idea of destination country and yours are different. Some of their post seems to route through Eastern Europe. You'll probably find that your shipment is sitting in Lithuania or somewhere like that that they use as a transit point.

The 2nd one is strange. Tracking references are usually quite different. It could have been a re-used waybill number, but they wouldn't normally be similar.

It's been through the transit country. Here it is in all its glory.
