Anybody Not Having Post Delivered?

who_ru

ordered a few bits & bobs online over a week ago, got an email cofirming shipment, i have ordered from the same online retailer many times in the past & always delivered on time, also expecting a letter from the bank but that hasn't arrived either. in fact we've not had a letter through the letterbox in over a week. is this down to the weather? im in the castleknock area.

Ring the sorting office. I think that the phone number is 820-1177.
If that is not it, ring An Post Customer Service at 1850-57-58-59 for the right info.

Post is some areas of Dublin not being delivered: http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/News+and+Information/Severe+weather+alert.htm
Though D15 is not mentioned.

I/we havent had post in three(working) days and even on that day he was a cheeky so and so. Gave my Dad(in his 70s) grief over us not having a letter box, must not be in the An Post training manual on how to open a porch door.

Back to the topic, one of the lads 5 minutes walk from me is getting post, but he has a different postman. Whats regular for where I am(Brookhaven area) is someone comes down on overtime ranging from 2-8ish to fill in the gap.

A bit off topic, but some reasons as to why we normally dont get post and there is the weather but there is people delivering leaflets etc and I doubt their on better pay than postmen.

We didn't My mam and dad trekked down to the sorting office to collect theirs today. I still have to go down for mine...

Zaph

Got post today.

who_ru

still no post here in laurel lodge castleknock, been at least 7 days now which is totally unacceptable

Remember to bring photo ID with you to collect your post from the depot. And a utility bill.

brightkane

no post at all last week, might go to sorting office to collect it,

do they frown on this or am i helping out the postie by collecting?

January

With the weather there's a notice on An Posts website confirming that this can be done, you have to have ID and proof of address though.

January

Eh...

Thank you.

brightkane

Well sod them anyways, its my post and I want it! ha

daymobrew

This is a bit pathetic; bin trucks are making into the estates so why can't An Post? And why is the sorting office closed?

January

Yeah the sorting office should be open at least, I had planned to head down and collect my post this morning, got none all last week and was expecting some...

January

Postman just cycled by my house, in Mulhuddart.

spooky donkey

well I just thought I would say fair play to the few post men that have managed to get some post out.

jeffk

From my experience any excuse and they don't deliver, so im not surprised at these events with the snow/ice.

As far as collecting it, they love that, or well the lads in the sorting office do. Ive been told theres post but know one to sort it and yeah theres post if you want to collect it.

Heres another idea, get a few vans down to the car park beside the libary in the shopping centre or even verona/coolmine carkparks. Im sure the owners wont mind the free publicity/brownie points.

brightkane

website has been updated again and no collectioned from dublin 15 has been removed.

Here here.

Im bashing An post not the lads/ladies that deliver it. My dad said to the postman would they not drop you round in a van, to which he said that shower dont care.

ciaran76

Had post today. Castaheany here.

brightkane

I cant imagine getting any today either with the fresh snow,

dibs101

Post delivered today in Luttrellstown, in fairness to our postman we have had post delivered almost every day...

daymobrew

I finally got some post in Riverwood. One item had a postmark of 29 Nov, another dated 23 Nov!

yes I get that. Just our estate has some really bad snow as did every where else and we got our post. So i just wanted to say well done to them.

LostinBlanch

Got some post this morning.

No cheques unfortunately.

This post has been deleted.

ongarboy

well I was away for a whole week and normally come back to bills and tonnes of junk mail after being away that length of time. Got nothing so the snow/ice is deterring the unwanted junk delivery folks (not complaining) as well as the post man. I'd normally have my first xmas card by now:(

I ordered some items from Komplett.ie on November 29th and they FINALLY sent them out on December 6th. I have been a prisoner in my own home waiting for An Post to arrive for the past two days. Both days the tracking info says it was scanned out for delivery just after 9am. Here it is 17:33 on the 8th and it's not here again.

I am right in dublin city centre and the roads have been fine all week... If I call and bug them a 5th time maybe they will actually treat me like a paying customer... ANY other postal service will give you an approx time if you call them.

It's moments like these that make me realize that it is worth the extra money to pay for shipping!!!

chris.o

update... patiently waiting all day... every moment making sure I can hear the bell...

tracking says there was no answer at 16:49pm

An Post is useless...

BengaLover

An Post have been remarkably reliable thus far!
Not missed a morning here in Mayo yet, and bang on time too.
My day is not worth living without having my ebay packages fix in the morning..:D:D

tskk

Have been getting the post in Lutterllstown all this week but our postman is brill.....hate it when he goes on hols.

It is putting off all the junk mail guys which is good!

January

No more post since Monday. Post man delivered registered post to neighbours house this morning in his car (he knocked on my door by mistake). I'm waiting on a package, but it's not tracked so can't check up on it

jeffk

Post arrived here(Brookhaven) around 16:00, suppose in this weather him coming at any time is a bonus.

rednik

After 10 days post finally delivered in Raheny.:)
