Yeah mine is. This has been happening a lot lately with anything I order from the uk using An Post with the exception of Amazon.

If you put the tracking number in to the Royal Mail checker it should show the date if left UK, it should then show up on An Post tracking system a day or so later.

Not recognised there either. I'll give it a few days and contact them if there's no progress. Perhaps tbey took more orders than they had stock.

Ah don't say that

dodzy · 21-04-2017 7:40am

Relax guys, we will get them. Superdrug are not some 2-bit operation. This was an intentional sale. The stock was relisted also for a period. I'm certain all orders will be honoured. It's not like they are out of stock either.

Look on the bright side: a few extra days growth will make for an even closer shave when you eventually do get them.;)

theteal · 21-04-2017 7:43am

Mine arrived a few days ago. My location helps I would imagine.

I've full faith in Superdrug, as you say they are not a 2-bit operation, it's anpost that I would be more concerned about. It is a bit odd that the tracking number still isn't recognised despite me getting the despatch email with tracking number a few days ago now.

vickers209 · 21-04-2017 8:07am

I haven't received a dispatch email only a receipt when ordered last Friday.
was much quicker last year

I'm surprised that people received tracking numbers as these blades were sent via regular post un-tracked. Are people possibly confusing their order number with a tracking number I wonder ?

Anyway, 4-5 days shipping so I'm expecting mine on Monday or thereabouts having received shipping notification email on the 17th.

For those who have not yet received a dispatch email, no harm giving them a bell quoting your order number (received immediately after payment) to put your minds at rest, on 1890949899 (from IRL)

The tracking number is different than the order number on mine, I was surprised to even see a tracking link on the email. Doubt it was sent tracked though and it turns out to be some glitch instead as the tracking hasn't activated.

The tracking number Anpost tracking number, I suppose it will be like when Amazon dispatch using Anpost tracking numbers, they take a few days to show up on the tracking, is been 4 full days since shipped, lets hope they start tracking over the weekend.

Sorry lads. Apologies. SD Customer Service assured me that the blades orders were dispatched by non-tracked postage and "not to worry that the tracking link in the dispatch confirmation email shows up nothing". You must be special

ColmEm · 21-04-2017 2:16pm

Just got an update from my tracking app that mine have arrived in the Dublin Parcel Centre. Would guess most/all will be delivered Monday.

The link on my email is finally showing something.

It's most likely not An Post, who are generally much faster to deliver than any other national service. Delays are usually royal mail related.

I have a few orders with delays, RM seem to have issues getting things to the ROI, usually I pay 4€ to PM just to avoid all this crap.

Can't understand how RM can get things to NI, but massive delays to ROI. Then sometimes RM have things over in a flash.

Strong Life in Dublin · 24-04-2017 10:15am

Does superdrug in Dublin have this offer?

jca · 24-04-2017 10:24am

Delivered this morning. These plus the €8 one I got in Mc Cauleys at Christmas should last me a long time.

jca · 24-04-2017 12:03pm

Got a little brucey bonus I was putting them away with my remaining blades from Mc Cauleys when I noticed the Mc Cauleys one was a double pack!! That was certainly a good deal 8 blades for €8, there's blades everywhere...

naughto · 24-04-2017 12:09pm

Got another one with the normal post the first one was with the parcel van they must have made a mistake cos I only ordered 3 packs and got them this morning.
