Order 23rd Nov. Delivery 8 Dec. Whilst I was away. My items are well packaged, well padded, well presented, BUT takes longer than items I have ordered from Italy. So I am naturally going to be hesitant to order I. Future. Simple that. There was actually no rush on these items so would have accepted a delivery of 15 days is prepared to do so. My personal circumstances necessitate trips to Dublin from West Cork about twice a month. A family bereavement made this also more complicated. So the mysterious tour of my parcel, was a worry as I got closer to knowing I would not be present. Your email staff were prompt but evidently couldn’t explain why the box put for delivery locally in Cork on dec4, was delayed other than delays at A Post. In the end, 2 hours after we departed for Dublin the parcel becomes delivered, thankfully, being held by my local A Post office because I arranged it in our small community. Weirs, you have a great selection of goods and products I am genuinely interested in… sorry I was trying to shop local and not Amazon.
