There may still be enough time for FedEx to send it to France 😩
FedEx being weird

So I guess I'd have to wait longer. It says estimated delivery by 6 pm on Monday.
The Stansted->Charles deGaulle->Stansted->Dublin trip is likely an aberration in case anyone thinks thats the regular route. What likely happened to those Irish orders that made that detour, was that FEDEX had free cargo space in passenger flight cargo holds for Stansted to Paris and Paris to Dublin sooner than they had available space on direct passenger flights from Stansted to Dublin. However, when the PCS Irish orders arrived in Paris, Ireland had just added France to the Passenger Hotel Quarantine list and several Paris/Dublin passenger flights were probably cancelled with no cargo space available on the remaining Paris/Dublin flights for the cargo FEDEX had started to send by that route. Hence they had to pull that cargo back to the UK from Paris and wait for the usual direct Stansted/Dublin cargo space to be available.
My order coming later seemingly avoided that rigmarole and made the direct trip from Stansted to Dublin.

That’s sad. A couple of more days and it will be with you
Scheduled delivery just updated to Monday 26th by 6pm which is perfectly fine by me. However, I’m in Bray only 12 miles south of Dublin and not on the other side of the Country, so it wouldn't surprise me if it did still turn up today because of course it would! FEDEX always trying to wrongfoot their customers. I know their game! LOL.
Cant really commission the PC till next Thursday anyway as I’m still waiting for one or two additional parts to complete the build, so whether it arrives today or Monday, I’ll just be staring at and stroking the box whispering, “My Preciiiooouuusss!” till next Thursday anyway.

When did your order come in man. That's an interesting take on it. I hear that they were looking to take our PCs on a "Tour de France" and seemingly opted against it afterwards.

Its likely that it has to go charles de gaule or dublin before it can return to italy
Knowing Fed Ex I honest to god wouldn't be shocked

Lmao would be funny. I’d go pick it up myself in that case with a bicycle. It’d be faster than waiting for FedEx 😂

Just under 48 hours. I nearly gave up hope for the weekend because it seemed to be stuck in Dublin Customs but it was delivered this afternoon. So you should be very close. 😀Super, did it take long between the return trip to Stansted and Dublin? I'm excited.
I live in Galway so mine traveled to FedEx in Shannon from Dublin overnight and I got a new delivery time via email early this morning.
Busy weekend ahead! 😁
