Title: Any chance of my package still arriving?
Post by: Oddworld on April 27, 2013, 11:43 am
I ordered something from NL which was posted to UK last thurs and it still hasn't arrived. I think it usually takes 3-4 days, could it still arrive? Haven't got a customs letter yet.

I've heard that NL has the slowest mail in the EU. someone from Frsance told me that one time a pack took 3 days from NL and the next time it took 16 days!

I've seen a lot of people say they got in 3 days, even if it does arrive I'm going away on Wed so hope it comes before then

yea its usually quick like 3-4 days but the mail from NL can be very inconsistant and its not uncommon for the mail from there to be delayed for a week or ,2 thats all im saying..

Hey Oddworld I think you'll be ok. All my Netherlands 'mail' this year (to NE UK) has arrived and remember some vendors mark items in transit when they haven't yet been posted, depends how well you know you're vendor. I know my guy is really organised and if it says in transit then it's not long off. Some vendors do take a day or two to post.
Don't worry at this stage ... I reckon give it til the end of this week then if no sign it's likely not coming.
Hope it arrives :)

same thing happened to me from the heineken package lost, but another package ordered exactly the same time from another NL vendor arrived 4 days later. i accepted a 50% refund in the end. Hope it got lost in his personal sorting room and not at customs.

Sorry but I got it wrong it's only been 2 weeks so far not 3 but still I think that's quite a long time

That is a long time man. I've ordered from a few Dutch vendors, and all my packages arrived within 4-5 days of being placed in transit. Hopefully it's just temporarily stuck in the system somewhere, but I'd start preparing yourself for a no-show.

P.S. Watch out for the Sligs dude!
