Crikey... what a world we live in. Don't mention VAT, customs or Brexit on here in relation to amazon shipping it seems or the entire thread gets deleted. What is there to hide exactly?

What are you on about? OP started a thread about Amazon. It was moved to the big Amazon thread, which you have just posted in.

Anyone else seeing more and more stuff coming from Amazon warehouse in France?

Since new year I've had 4 out of 8 items come from somewhere in France. Annoying as Amazon can get the delivery estimates messed up. I've an item that was last scanned in France that last night was going to be delivered tomorrow but has no chance and is now down for Monday.

Yes I'm getting more and more from the french warehouse via UPS Standard (which can take up to 5 days).

That is both for .uk and .de amazon orders.

Am I correct in thinking the package is being delivered by courier? Or is it by normal post?

Sounds like you bought from a third party seller and they are shipping it rather then Amazon, I'd expect last mile delivery is likely to be An Post or maybe Fastway.

I was due a parcel today, unfortunately I wasnt home at the time to accept. I got a note through my letterbox saying it was in my local PO for collection, however, the email states 'we will try again'.

Does this mean I will receive the item tomorrow in post, or do I need to collect it myself?

whiterebel

if they left s collect note you should probably collect

Good evening all,

I was just on Amazon and I wanted to ask if anyone else noticed this? I'm a prime member and I have been for about 2-3 years. I was just about to order something on amazon and the deliver was expected to be tomorrow (17th). I then noticed I that I hadn't changed my shipping to address from my brothers in kilkenny as had I ordered something for him last week. He doesn't have prime. When I changed the shipping address back to my home in Carlow the expected delivery changed to Mon 19th. After playing around I noticed on my address (in Carlow) all prime items show an expected delivery for mon19th but if i change the shipping address to my brothers (in Kilkenny) the expected delivery dates vary but include any day over the next 3 days , including Sunday for same items .

Why is this?

Maybe it will depend whether Amazon using their own delivery vans or An Post in different Eircodes

I live in one part of Dublin and work in the city centre. It regularly shows next day delivery to my home address but several days to my work address. Both use Amazon vans. I've given up trying to make sense of it.

Hi again,

I usually get a text message on the evening before a delivery.

My Amazon orders says the item was 'Delivered today'. I got no text or parcel.

Could this be a mistake?

I am me123

Hi there,

I ordered an item from Amazon, that had a delivery date of March 8th at dispatch. I checked my orders on Amazon today, and the item was marked "Delivered today". ?

I usually get an text informing me of impending deliveries, in this case I didn't receive one.

I used the tracking number which showed the following information, it said it was 'Pre advised to PostNL'

In this case, was the 'Delivered today' notification an error? I have not received the item.

Something similar happened to me.

It was marked as Delivered although that only meant that it had been handed over to a courier. I actually got it one week later.

When I checked with the seller, they said that the carrier they used did not have tracking. It was An Post eventually.

Thank you so much for the reply.

The estimated delivery date as per the dispatch confirmation email is 8/3/24. So I was confused that my Amazon order was stated as being delivered today, especially considering that I never got the usual An Post text message yesterday, if that was really the case.

So should I expect the delivery on the estimated delivery date?

In my case, I had no way of knowing where the package was as the tracking stopped with the handover to the courier. It was a week later than the original delivery date.

Luckily it was delivered by An Post. I missed the delivery attempt but it's easy for me to collect from the depot.

I would say if it's marked as delivered you will get no delivery notice.

By the way, I did get a refund when I reported the package as missing. I then later reversed the refund when the package arrive.

Funnily enough that reversal never went through. But, that may be because there was an error in what was delivered. I had to send that package back.

Such a monumental load of pure and utter **** service.

Update: The package was delivered today (17th). Yes it came via An Post. I hate to be skeptical, as i do have to give fair dues where due.. The package came within a day. Great service by Amazon and An Post. But are they doing a Ryanair on it and over estimating the deliver time in order to achieve exceptional delivery time stats?

I wouldn't read anything.else into it other than a good decent result. Well done An Post.

My wife ordered a clock from Amazon yesterday afternoon with Monday being the estimated delivery date but it was delivered earlier this morning. We're in Donegal so that was super fast work by An Post.

My estimated delivery date according to my dispatch email is 8th March, so here's hoping my package arrives then 🤞

Hi there,

My parcel tracker updated today saying " The item is on transport to the country of destination".

How long should I be waiting for my parcel now?

Thank you

One week later. Mine came from NL too. I think the seller just posted it unregistered in a post office.

Hi,

I hope ye can help.

I ordered an item from Amazon recently from NL.

According to the website 17 track, my package was on transport to the country of destination on Monday last, 19th February.

How long will it now take for the package to arrive from NL?

ohnonotgmail

3 -4 days usually.

Hi there @EarWig!

I just wanted to say that I was browsing Amazon reviews of the seller from whom I ordered my awaited package.

It would appear that there are a number of customers who too are experiencing the same issue of the erroneous "Delivered" notification on their Amazon orders recently.

Glad to know its not just me affected here. 😊

Hi all

If an Amazon package is due to be delivered by Royal Mail, can anyone confirm, is this An Post delivering the item or a courier?

Thank you. 😊

That unusual if Amazon would say that royal mail would deliver to a Irish address,?
