    Regarding delivery in Northern Ireland

    Hello ladies and gentlemen,

    I've ordered my laptop a couple of weeks back and I really cant wait for the delivery, pretty psyched about it. However, my question is this. Who delivers in Northern Ireland? Is DPD available over here? Or does Royal Mail take over from this point?

    Cheers.

    I live in a pretty rural area. Good bit away from Belfast. I remember ordering something from Amazon a few years back which was shipped to recipients in the mainland UK by some private delivery company I cant recall the name of, however in NI, they'd hand it over to Royal Mail if its not a Belfast delivery.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it,whatever way it's done you will still receive your laptop.

    Well royal mail is quite notorious in my town for leaving packages unattended in front of the door if nobody opens them or in fact just leaving them there without even bothering to knock. This Royal Mail delivery guy just left my monitor at the door once and as I was sitting in the kitchen I saw him approach the door, put it there and walk away. How can he even leave it without a signature? Did he fake mine or something? I had to run out and ask him "What the **** are you thinking?!". A lot of foul language was involved there. I would like to think my nearly £2k laptop isn't just left there to be picked up by some guy walking past my house.

    Well,where I reside royal mail would never do that,they wont even leave it with a neighbour,but you live in a different part of the UK from me so things could be different.If your overly concerned give PCS a call,but they really don't have any control over the package after it leaves them.

    Thanks. I just looked up their nearest depo and its 35 miles away. Hopefully I'll be home to receive the order and won't have to drive there to pick it up.
