I am waiting on two parcels, one from Amazon now a day overdue with no tracking info and one from Puma via Evri which was due by yesterday but tracking shows as still at the delivery warehouse.

I never normally order this close to Christmas but Ds1 couldn't make his mind up til last thursday.

Anyone else waiting patiently?

Has your Amazon one been dispatched? At a guess it is coming with Royal Mail if no tracking.

Evri one will probably go out for delivery today. Ours never update as out for delivery until after 1130-12

I have one gift outstanding which I know won't be here for christmas so will save once it does arrive for our anniversary

Pascha · 17/12/2024 11:27

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads Yes, just says self delivery with a tracking number but no clue who. I've tried RM, Evri and DPD but not recognised. Who else can I check with? 🤔

I'm waiting for a couple but the top one is half a bed 🙈 The other half arrived yesterday as promised but the tracking says the whole thing has been delivered. How can you lose half a bed?? Getting no joy from either the seller or delivery companies.

Dd is destined to forever sleep on a mattress on the floor 🤣

Pascha · 17/12/2024 11:28

@Muffinmanfromdrurylane half a bed? Which bit is missing? At least she has a mattress.

OP posts:
Muffinmanfromdrurylane · 17/12/2024 11:30

The bed bit, we have a headboard 🤣

She only has a mattress because we went to good old ikea and picked one up. Thank goodness as her sisters are now home from uni so she'd have been in with me and she's like an octopus flinging herself about all night 🤣🐙

Pascha · 17/12/2024 11:35

Oh no, not even a useful bit 🤣. Will she be bothered?

OP posts:
Muffinmanfromdrurylane · 17/12/2024 11:48

@Pascha I genuinely don't think she's even noticed the headboard lying in the hall 🤣 She's just happy to be back in her decorated bedroom even on a mattress.

Mine mercifully arrived this morning. DS wanted cuddly animated character only available in effing Japan and US. But it was his top choice and he asked Santa for it on our grotto visit, so was in a state of high panic that it wouldn't arrive. Nearly fainted with relief.

Hoping and praying that everyone's gifts will arrive in time.

RoseZinfandel · 17/12/2024 15:19

DD’s main present is currently in Malaysia and ‘unavoidably delayed’ according to tracking info. It was a very specific item that was only available from overseas.

I have lost hope, and went out to the shops in my lunch break to buy an alternative present, so she will definitely have something to open even if it isn’t what she asked for Hmm.

mrsconradfisher · 17/12/2024 16:35

I’m waiting for a present for DS’s girlfriend’s birthday last weekend. Ordered it 2 weeks ago (it’s hand made) but they sent me someone else’s order. Contacted them and they are apparently sending me a replacement but it’s not arrived and they are not replying to emails.

TheDogsMother · 17/12/2024 16:37

One of mine was thrown at the front door earlier but another four are nowhere to be seen yet.

PrincessPeache · 17/12/2024 16:38

I’m waiting for a book for my dad which should hopefully arrive tomorrow, and DP told me last night he impulse bought some Lego for DS….on his Amazon account, rather than mine with prime, so who knows when that will arrive!

DeathStarCanteenGal · 17/12/2024 16:39

Waiting on DD's new Christmas jumper - which she needs for Christmas jumper day at school on Thursday...
ordered on Saturday, paid £8 (ouch) for next day delivery - but thought that would at least get it here by Tuesday at the latest, assuming dispatched on Monday.
But no sign of it yet.....

Lovemusic82 · 17/12/2024 18:15

I’m waiting on a few things, one I bought on Etsy and didn’t realise it wasn’t in the uk. Also waiting for a book for dd, a t-shirt for dp and some sweets/chocolate for dp. Waiting for a gift I bought myself also. The postman’s been getting here later and later each day, today he hasn’t been at all. Hoping tomorrow will be a good delivery day.

Musicofthespiers · 17/12/2024 18:20

I'm awaiting something from my son's favourite YouTuber. Ordered it 10 days ago from the US but it hasn't shipped yet. 😬

He has plenty of other things to feel excited about so hopefully won't be too sad if it doesn't get here on time. I keep emphasising you don't get everything on your wishlist!

@PrincessPeache do you not have your husband added to your Prime household so you can share Prime benefits with separate accounts

Edited

Did not know that was a thing, thank you!!

Muchtoomuchtodo · 17/12/2024 18:25

I’m waiting on one for DS. I ordered it on December 8th. I think it’s coming from Germany which definitely wasn’t made clear when I ordered. I’ve chased it with the company who have told me that it will be dispatched ’this week’. I’m not holding my breath that it will arrive in time for Christmas Day.

BrieAndChilli · 17/12/2024 18:37

I have a present for a friend that i bought via ebay its coming with yodel and tracking hasnt been updated since the 9th which says they have my parcel.

i also ordered DH present from Very a few weeks ago and expected delivery keeps getting shifted. It now says 23rd.

madmumofteens · 17/12/2024 18:53

Ordered a jacket from Harpers of London requested by DD on 30th November still no sign 🫣

GettingStuffed · 17/12/2024 19:18

I have a Christmas sweatshirt due by today currently in flight from China

SmallGoddess · 17/12/2024 19:28

Amazon actually had the grace to inform me that my parcel was "lost". Ordered on the 9th with delivery due on the 11th which updated to the 12th then the 14th. But when I checked on the 15th it said it was lost. They replaced 2 items, the 3rd was no longer available but I chose alternative. All are now here.

recyclingisaPITA · 17/12/2024 19:33

OP you could check with Yodel

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 17/12/2024 19:35

Waiting on:
Thornton chocolates due 2-3 days
Zara due Thursday
Shuh due tomorrow
A plushie from US due now end Jan 😅

Flicitytricity · 17/12/2024 19:37

I ordered a FB item (yes, I know), 10 days ago.
Had no communication and decided it was a con job, but no! Up it turned this morning, and very nice it is too 😁
