Last item I had was delivered next day but seems like Anpost have gone on a go slow again. No update on tracking since yesterday morning. Paid yesterday morning and got email receipt and conformation and stated they would now 'deliver' my parcel. 04 July 2024 11:29 Customs charges have been paid. Your item will be processed and delivered as soon as possible. 04 July 2024 11:21 A customs charge has been applied to this item and details have been sent to you.

spudfan Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Got this this morning from Royal Mail Your parcel from ELLIS JAMES CLARK has now arrived at your local office and is being processed for delivery. .............................................................................................................. So I checked An Post tracking and my package is indeed out for delivery today. I will inform NASA when the Eagle has landed. 2 Quote
spudfan Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) NASA the EAGLE has landed. Just to confirm this Royal Mail just sent me this.."You have received your parcel LG............ from ELLIS JAMES CLARK ." Edited July 8 by spudfan 3 Quote
amdaley Posted July 9 Posted July 9 (edited) This gets stranger by the day. I got a customs demand this morning for a package from Roads & Rails. I checked back through the tracking & it's the same package that An Post told me they were sending back to the sender on 30th June. It seems that someone with a head on their shoulders decided to let it go through. They really are just making this up as they go along The problem is that we can't really trust them anymore as we don't know what they want. Tony. EDIT. Well my UK packet finally arrived after being round the houses in An Post for the past few weeks. I reckon the automatic sorting was throwing up too many rejections so they sent in a human to investigate. Edited July 12 by amdaley 3 1 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted July 12 Posted July 12 ICS2 Destination... My last two parcels of Bulleid Opens were delivered yesterday, a good week or two after the first arrived. Both of these parcels were held back by Customs in Madrid, then released, no contact or anything, just held back and subsequently released. Both are labelled as "ICS2 Destination", but nothing else was labelled as such. My understanding would be that mainland Spain is an ICS2 destination, as with the rest of the EU. As Canarias have their own Customs and tax regime due to their autonomy, are they also an ICS2 destination? Or was that likely a labelling error, and the reason behind the subsequent delay? Or does anything passing through the EU before going to a non-EU destination need such labelling? I can't remember ever seeing an "ICS2 Destination" label on a parcel here before. Normally, for Canarias, the An Post staff behind the counter have to fill out an AED, basically a digital declaration, and the parcel must also have a physical CN23 decalaration attached. If either is missing or incomplete, or the info on the two conflict, the parcel will be rejected and returned to the sender. Does ICS2 mean that a third declaration is now required for Canarias, the ENS or whatever it's called? Quote

The EU's new advance cargo information system ICS2 supports implementation of this new customs safety and security regulatory regime aimed to better protect single market and EU citizens. It will collect data about all goods entering the EU prior to their arrival. Economic Operators (EOs) will have to declare safety and security data to ICS2, through the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS). The obligation to start filing such declarations will not be the same for all EOs. It will depend on the type of services that they provide in the international movement of goods and is linked to the three release dates of ICS2 (15 March 2021, 1 March 2023, and 3 June 2024). Quote

A new one for me, I wonder if they were applied in Heathrow(outside the EU) to be allowed into Spain.. Must check the tracking on your order out of curiosity but at least they got to you.. 1 Quote

LOL, I find new ways to motivate you... Five points if you can name the source of that quote. Only two of the Bulleid Open parcels had the ICS2 labels, the two that were delayed at CAM4 Madrid. The rest arrived a week or two earlier, with no ICS2 labels, hence my confusion. Quote
StevieB Posted July 12 Posted July 12 It’s strange how much ‘suffering’ people have to endure in order to receive their IRM purchases.

The UK haven’t caught up with the rest of the world for customs and importation, yet. When they swallow their BrExit pride and start checking thoroughly, it’ll be the same as everywhere else. 2 1 Quote

irishmail Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Just had VAT demand from Anpost customs for my latest Railtec transfer order.

spudfan Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Mine arived today. Paid charge last Friday. Funnily enough I checked the tracking number this morning and this is what it said " 06 September 2024 15:04 Customs charges have been paid. Your item will be processed and delivered as soon as possible" Still says that. Quote
skinner75 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 I ordered a wheelbarrow wheel from Amazon - from bony Scotland. First one got stopped by Customs & returned, due to no paperwork. Offered a refund, or to try again, I said go again. Wheel has been sitting in Customs since 3rd Sept, and will most likely be returned again. I'll be asking for a refund this time! On Amazon - they have a massive distribution centre built here, but no Irish site. If you order from .co.uk, you get hit with the fun above. They really need to get the .ie site up n running. For now, it'll be back to amazon.de for me! Quote
