Who's waiting on parcels? Are you worried?

I'm waiting on lots and starting to worry as it's getting so close to last posting dates.

I'm waiting on deliveries from Photobox, ASOS (2 orders), Fragrance Direct and Amazon. Had dispatch emails on the last two so not too worried about them but nothing from ASOS or Photobox. Slightly concerned as don't have a plan B if anything doesn't arrive.

Anyone else panicking?

ok, going into total panic now. This telescope was ordered 2 weeks ago and dispatched on the 11th. Both Amazon and UPS have it as 'in transit' . It's now 3 days late.

I'm going to have to go to town and buy DS another big present aren't I . Once they break up today I don't get a break from them (LP) so I can't nip out next week if the telescope doesn't turn up. Arse and shit and bugger.

Have had two more presents arrive this afternoon.Waiting on two more.

One of them I really need to make it here on time.

CheerfulYank · 19/12/2014 12:28

Just gotten an email saying mine will be delayed due to a breakdown with the truck or plane.

Send another bloody truck! This cannot happen!

LeapingOverTheWall · 19/12/2014 12:34

I have two more to come - the one I'm not too fussed about is due today (Amazon Prime, so most likely will turn up), but the other is with MyHermes and is supposed to be with me by Sunday. Only Sunday morning is when I need to hand it over to the recipient . Thankfully everything else is here.
Fingers crossed for everyone else waiting.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 19/12/2014 12:39

Mine have all arrived

Last ones this morning. Everything is wrapped and I can now relax. Sort of......

Now just waiting for for the big food shop deliveries next week.

TheBooMonster · 19/12/2014 15:31

Mine are all here! Good luck to everyone else! This means I've only lost one parcel in the lead up to Xmas (good old DPD there's a surprise!) though a good half of my parcels were seriously delayed, if it wasn't so close to Xmas I'd be stomping my feet at 3 companies for failing to get things to me next day (or even the day after) having paid extortionate amounts for said delivery!!

SpaceKoala · 19/12/2014 15:40

I had 3 parcels left, two arrived this morning
The important one, with the present for my (very difficult to buy for father) was one of them. It's a set of photo blocks from a company with very mixed reviews, so was fretting a bit, but they look amazing
Now just waiting for one from amazon market place, but not to fussed if it's late.

Redglitter · 19/12/2014 15:45

My last 2 came this morning

jamtoast12 · 19/12/2014 16:26

I ordered 12 days ago from asos (delivery originally given as expected on mon 22nd Dec) and mine was dispatched today. Their Facebook page suggests they've a huge backlog

GooodMythicalMorning · 19/12/2014 16:41

Waiting on some from my dad. Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow

kiwidreamer · 19/12/2014 16:42

Hmmmm I've ordered something from Tesco direct today, fingers crossed it arrives before Xmas!

Myhermes order has been lost, seller has refunded but that doesn't give DH 9 pairs of boxers under the tree does it ??

BeyondTheTreelights · 19/12/2014 16:56

I'm waiting for some hulk hands from amazon. Allegedly a uk based shop yet delivery estimate is 30/11 to 22/12.

saltedcaramelicious · 19/12/2014 17:01

I posted a pressie first class via Royal Mail from east of England going to south east, on 16/12 and it's still not arrived to recipient. My dad ordered a gift which was also posted first class on 17/12 and that's not arrived yet either. Royal Mail usually pretty good round here even at Xmas but getting a little twitchy now!

colleysmill · 19/12/2014 17:22

My last parcel came this morning all the way from China :)

supermariossister · 19/12/2014 17:32

got my last waiting for parcel today but im a bit disappointed had ordered some pens for sd that she had asked for, not hugely expensive but branded and not massively cheap and they have turned up in a clear bag no packaging. makes me wonder if they have been used. do you think I can still put them in stocking with no packaging? hope the rogue parcels turn up for others

ohtheholidays · 19/12/2014 19:09

Had another two parcels(3 presents)turn up.One is the one I really needed.Just waiting on the last one now.

rallytog1 · 19/12/2014 19:56

My Costco parcel that was due 10 days ago has now officially gone astray and they've finally agreed (via their call centre in the USA!) to send out another one.

They have let slip that they managed to lose rather a lot of orders last week, so if any of you are waiting on one, it's worth chasing them.

Sloegin2 · 19/12/2014 22:47

I ordered a click and collect delivery from the whiskey shop, to be delivered to my local store. Ordered it last Friday (week today) had dispatch email and confirmation of arrival email on Wednesday night. Went into store today, they had no order in for me and explained it must have been lost from the time it left the lorry to the time it got to the shop
Anyway, call in the store to HQ and they have done a 24 hour shipping to my home address so it should be here tomorrow. I hope so, eeek!

JubJubBirds · 20/12/2014 11:22

I'm waiting for a delivery that luckily really isn't that important it's for the cat but I have to be in to accept it, which is a pain. Especially since the tracker said it has been out of delivery since the 18th. I have things to do! Outside things!

NannyHat · 20/12/2014 11:29

I'm not waiting but WRT ASOS if you become a premier customer for a year for £10 you get free next day delivery with DPD who tell you exactly what hour they will be with you, I order lots from ASOS and it always arrives next day, most recently ordered on Thursday and got it Friday.

LeapingOverTheWall · 20/12/2014 12:20

turns out my Amazon Prime parcel didn't exist, as of the two items which I'd ordered (which had different delivery days), only one of them actually managed to be ordered. And because someone DH being stupid had never updated their email address, I didn't know till I logged into the account last night all ready to complain . Thankfully DD doesn't mind too much, as Santa is bringing her lots of things even though she'd 16.

Still no sign of the other one which I do actually really need . And supposedly a courier is coming today to collect a box of stuff I've sold to musicmagpie, do we think that's going to happen?

iamthedivergentbuddytheelf · 20/12/2014 12:23

yip awaiting dh present from amazon, ordered 10th and was only despatched on 16th

BrieAndChilli · 20/12/2014 12:48

I ordered some necklaces for all the women in family. A small family company ordered end of November and they still havnt arrived though were saying 2-4 days delivery!! Facebook page shows a lot of people still waiting for orders!!!

o0 · 20/12/2014 12:56

Just waiting on one thing.

Was meant to come today but the postie has gone past the house and nothing for me.

I ordered it on the 16th and have Prime. Not next day is it Amazon?! . Though it's ALWAYS 2 days with them, I've never had it the next day even if I order at 6am.

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 20/12/2014 13:05

Having problems with notonthehighstreet. Ordered a pair of earrings on the 11th, got the dispatch email, delivery date (wednesday) comes and goes. No response from the seller. Fuming.
