iarnrod Posted Thursday at 13:03 Share Posted Thursday at 13:03 Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting on these wagons to arrive by courier. Bulleid open wagons which were shipped to me after this order was supposed to be shipped have been received, but these wagons seem to be in a courier black hole somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, whenever I go to check now I get a bad gateway 502 error. I'm not sure what's going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem seems to be with deliveries coming through Fastway. I ordered more of the open wagons a number of days after the flats were dispatched, and they were delivered the following day by DPD. Flats still on the way...... 20 minutes ago, skinner75 said: I haven't received mine yet either. No tracking info listed in My Orders section There should be a tracking link in the email from IRM....

Garfield Posted Thursday at 14:06 Share Posted Thursday at 14:06 Hi all, The tracking for those orders activated when the labels were printed rather than when being scanned after dispatch, so the updates are a bit premature. We're looking at a way to avoid this going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleid open wagons which were shipped to me after this order was supposed to be shipped have been received, but these wagons seem to be in a courier black hole somewhere. Flats and beet wagons arrived yesterday. FYI, minor annoyance the courier dropped them over the 2'6" wall into the garden and made no attempt to contact us or get a signature, checked the CCTV, he just jumped out of the van, never even rang the bell nor phoned, popped the parcels on the ground over the wall, took a photo of them, then hopped back in his van and drove off. Fortunately the parcels were not pinched by passers by of which there are many on our tourist lane. We were perhaps lucky. Other couriers either ring the bell or phone so at least we know. Anyway the big picture is these are delightful models. Will play with them and drive trains at the weekend. Then once the couplings have been replaced with NEM Kadee's will spend some time weathering them. The Bulleid beet wagons will look especially good on Gort.

minister_for_hardship Posted Thursday at 15:30 Share Posted Thursday at 15:30 DPD should be called Drop-Pic-Dash. There was someone in the house if they could be arsed looking. Thankfully I recognised which wall they ditched the box at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted Thursday at 16:22 Share Posted Thursday at 16:22 Absolutely magnificent wagons, the best yet from IRM IMHO. Fabulous. Thank you. It was worth the wait. Kadee height is perfect and uncoupling works 100%. Nem pocket is slightly shorter than the tongs but a tiny spot of PVA will ensure no horizontal slop. Can't wait to weather these most unique and iconic of all Irish rolling stock. They had their first run this evening back and forth over point work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted Thursday at 19:11 Share Posted Thursday at 19:11 Taking up Noel’s point about the mode of delivery, if I remember correctly, my order said DHL would deliver but here in the UK it was our dear old Royal Mail. Would anyone from IRM care to comment? Stephen 2 hours ago, Noel said: Absolutely magnificent wagons, the best yet from IRM IMHO. Fabulous. Thank you. It was worth the wait.

Stephen Mine were shipped DHL Express too but they handed them off to the parcels arm of the German post office (which is confusingly called DHL, without the Express. Deutsche Post owns DHL group). That was strange enough and I have never knowingly experienced that but DHL Express handing off to Royal Mail sounds even stranger as they are completely unrelated companies AFAIK.

Who did it say on your tracking? It may well have said DHL at the time of order but carriers have changed and evolved since as rates and service changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I checked the DHL Express Germany website and it told me the parcel was to be handled by "regular" DHL, which is just the post office here and is the same carrier that delivers An Post parcels. The regular DHL website reported the parcel was "on its way to DHL" until this afternoon, when it changed and showed the parcel as being located in Bochum in the west of Germany. It'll probably be delivered on Saturday. That's 9 days in actual transit I believe, which is slower than an An Post or GLS parcel. The opens arrived via GLS in 4 days. I don't mind if a parcel takes a week or two weeks but I hope DHL Express aren't taking the Mick charging IRM for express delivery and then just pawning the parcels off to non-express carriers.

mmie353 Posted Thursday at 23:42 Share Posted Thursday at 23:42 I thought it was just me, I too have delivery issues as the only tracking number I have it for USPS. it seems to be heading for the nearby DHL facility for Chicago area but as I don't have a DHL tracking number there is nothing I can do. USPS are waiting for this since the 6th of June, so I have no idea where it is and to top it off, I have a great experience with USPS and packages "failing to arrive". Just frustrated that USPS are to deliver them, well hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeconna Posted Friday at 16:30 Share Posted Friday at 16:30 (edited) Got mine today, the Grey ones are peach. One for IRM. given the relatively small size of these flats you could get a lot more in the box they come in. Maybe 6 TBH. I am wondering would not 4 wagons in a box make better use of the box space or is it to keep the sell point under 100 buck to tempt more folks into parting with cash?
