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?

Mu click and collect was dispatched 3 days ago but still not text or email to say its ready for collection yet.

Still waiting for my telescope. Amazon dispatched on the 11th for delivery on the 16th Hmm.

The only reason I'm no longer stressing is because yesterday I zipped up to toys r us and bought another telescope for DS. If Amazon don't turn up in time for Xmas I'll give him that and get a refund on the amazon one.

Does anyone know how I go about contacting amazon to report it as missing and get a refund after xmas. Never had such a late or pontentially lost parcel before Confused.

I've got two 'extra' gifts still to arrive from Hermes. The tracking says 'delivery confirmed by courier' but I haven't got them!

OhHolyChildOfGallifrey · 20/12/2014 14:47

Received the last of mine today thank god. I can relax now. Xmas Grin

OhHolyChildOfGallifrey · 20/12/2014 14:49

Oh and for anyone waiting on deliveries using Royal Mail, my dad is high up there and said they are going all out and providing extra staff to make sure all deliveries and post are fulfilled by Xmas eve. They were slated last year for it so putting in a special effort this year Xmas Smile

My Royal Mail pressie turned up with friend today. Dad still waiting for gift, hopefully Monday.

ohtheholidays · 20/12/2014 19:18

Had the last of my deliveries turn up today woohoo.Fingers crossed for anyone still waiting.Both of mine were delivered by Royal Mail and DH had a parcel arrive today with Royal mail as well.

My Parcelforce parcel is being held hostage next day delivery, my arse Xmas Hmm
A vast portion of my life that I will need get back for a lady to confirm that it's still at the depot. I know it's still at the depot, it should be here Xmas Angry

BeyondTheTreelights · 21/12/2014 09:25

Still no hulk hands here. Tomorrow is the latest estimate, so tomorrow afternoon i can start getting hulk on them!!

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 21/12/2014 15:08

Well I'm never shopping with NOTHS again, customer service is absolutely dire...

iamthedivergentbuddytheelf · 21/12/2014 16:21

contacted amazon, my parcel is lost apparently and wasn't sent track able so they're sending a replacement today and it's being delivered supposedly by dpd tomorrow guaranteed...We shall see

BeHoHoHove · 22/12/2014 10:31

One of my parcels (Hermes) came by taxi!
Still waiting on the other

Amazon have emailed to say mine was returned to them as 'undeliverable'.

What a crock of shit.

I've been in every bastarding day for the postie.

Waiting for small (not very important) package, but MY POPPY HAS JUST BEEN DELIVERED!!

gamerchick · 22/12/2014 14:44

Parcel carriers are utterly swamped atm. If you imagine one who normally shifts 4~6 thousand parcels a day and suddenly upping to 14 thousand in the few weeks lead up to Christmas it's a bit of a hike.

Yodels put the brakes on collections and citylink is shutting it's doors Christmas eve for good other parcel carriers are feeling the strain.

I'm not getting mine for another month apparently. He seller blamed Christmas deliverys for delays in Nov 2nd. I called them a fucking lier and may well find a lump of spittle in with my finger puppets Grin

insanityscratching · 22/12/2014 14:48

My final parcel was delivered by Royal Mail earlier which is great service as it was sent second class at the end of last week. Have to say I think Royal Mail have been exceptionally good this year especially in comparison to Yodel and Hermes.

o0 · 22/12/2014 17:15

I've reordered my item and they claim delivery will be on the 24th. Fingers crossed.

The lovely Rahul at Amazon has given me a free month of Prime for my trouble. That's soothed the savage Christmas stress beast in me. Xmas Grin

saltedcaramelicious · 22/12/2014 18:48

Still no Royal Mail 1st class packet for my dad, posted 18th dec! Coming from London and can only imagine it's stuck in a backlog.... Confused ebay seller has offered to send another but the design of what he ordered is out of stock now...

meglet · 22/12/2014 18:59

Still no telescope, dispatched on the 11th and 6 days late now. Wonder what warehouse UPS have lost it in Hmm.

BestIsWest · 22/12/2014 19:04

Only one which is my present from DM. Debenhams say it has been despatched. Would not have left it this late but she has been ill so I ordered if myself.

Dad has got his Royal Mail packet, took four days for first class. My last minute order for DP has been dispatched today by Hermes express, hoping for delivery tomorrow. Not end of world if not though, not sure if I have even ordered the right size and he has couple of other gifts already.

iamthedivergentbuddytheelf · 24/12/2014 15:09

Did everyone get their parcels?

SwedishEdith · 24/12/2014 15:15

Last one arrived from America today
