Mine arived today. Paid charge last Friday. Funnily enough I checked the tracking number this morning and this is what it said "

Customs charges have been paid. Your item will be processed and delivered as soon as possible"

Still says that.

Thats all I got  when I  checked mine.

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!

Try  Screwfix.ie  for the  wheel.  Stuff comes  from  UK, via  DPD but  not  had any  customs  issues  with  items  I have  ordered

Modelbahn union  even gives you an option to chose Free stuff and depending on you order amount the gifts get better!

I have used them in the past when they had something I wanted. Being EU based the stuff comes straight through.

Incidentally, todays package with An Post came with a knock to the door.
