Must be something you are doing as it seems every delivery service and every utility service gives you bad service.

I've yet to see a post from you that is not complaining about a service.

Either you are the unluckiest person about when it comes to service providers or a lot is made up?

Hi,

I ordered something from Amazon to be delivered by An Post.
The tracking claims they attempted delivery on Wednesday, but I don't think they did, because another item I ordered arrived fine, and they didn't leave a note.

When I called them, they told me the parcel has been logged as "re-directed" for some reason, and may be on its way back to Amazon. They won't let me pick it up, and they won't give me an ETA.

The tracking is as follows:

There might have been an issue with the address on the label. The 2 attempted delivery scans look like they were done in the sorting office.
I've had Amazon stuff with no name on the label.

I was the postie. Scanned the barcode and was able to phone the person, but had to send stuff back because there wasn't a number available. It happens occasionally.
Item will be returned to Amazon and they'll either re-send it or refund you.
Contact them and let them know what happened. They'll send out another one.

ED E · 17-07-2020 06:13PM

Not at all.

Courierpost can be grand. This week I've received 3x items in ~36hrs from Amazon and AnPost.

AnPost always come so close. Like 7 in 8 packages is an excellent service then they go and leave a €900 camera in a recycling bin. Or AddressPal is half baked. Or they ignore redirect requests.

If you want a good story I receive items on a 4hr SLA via UPS. They're flawless. It's just a bit not newsworthy so maybe I'll post about them less.

ED E · 17-07-2020 06:16PM

Here's an example from a week ago.

I sell on eBay occasionally and I've used UPS for deliveries of larger items to the UK recently. I find them very reliable.

Hi guys, had a package via DHL from the US arrive on the 18th, still nothing showing on An Post tracking with the tracking number provided, this normal? Thanks.

Can anyone shed any light on this? when i got onto an post webchat they just said that the number i gave them wouldn't have further tracking when it got to Ireland.

Arrived a month ago tomorrow

Darc19 · 18-07-2020 07:30AM

Possibly "mis-directed" in that it went to the wrong delivery unit.

What part of Dublin are you in (city, west, south, north)

There are UPU codes, the S10 standard, and then there are proprietary codes. If yours wasnt in the S10 format then it doesnt work outside the originating network.

The delivery address was Dublin 2 , getting a bit concerned now that they've lost it or something else.

No it was in the right office .

RAVENSDALE ROAD D.S.U., DUBLIN 3 is the delivery office now for Dublin 2 & Dublin 4

magoo84 · 23-07-2020 10:19AM

An Post seem to have lost four parcels belonging to me in the space of a couple of days. Amazon have refunded me for all of them, which is great, but it's hardly their fault. Absolute joke of a service.

Compared to the private companies An Post is a stellar service. Never had single issue with them. Not once.

The same cannot be said for the likes of DPD, or *shudder* Fastway. Now there's a joke.

I have to agree with you there.

I know there was a bit of delay with An Post during the height of the Covid issue, but not anymore. But that might have been an Amazon issue too, who knows now?

And they are very polite delivery people too.

I have no connection with an Post at all, but seems like most things I order arrive via them on time via the tracking thing.

I have no connection to An Post either, other than a very nice postie. But anything I've ordered online gets to me. Anything I've posted gets to where I posted it to. I, literally, have never had a problem with them.

I have several items on their way to me from Amazon now and today An Post has notified me that they are in the country and will be delivered in the next 2 working days (I'd have preferred a definite day, of course...but Covid and all that).

Plus, when they don't catch me in to take a delivery, they will leave an "undelivered" docket that I can use. I don't know any private courier that does that.

The "norm"

Wild exaggeration I think

An post process over 1 million parcels and packets a week and based one parcel, you say above is "the norm" LOL

Iodine1 · 26-07-2020 11:59AM

Couriers, never know when they are going to arrive and leave parcels or not? And they lose things, and send them to far corners of the country occasionally too. I have had it all, including companies claiming to have sent stuff out when they hadn't, and then blaming the post or the courier.

So it turns out that there was no postman to deliver the post on that day, was told that may arrive on Saturday. On Monday tracking says it's in the sorting office in coolmine, you can't ring them, so I checked with customer service and they say it's definitely in coolmine sorting office. I don't know why it wasn't sent out on the Monday post, so drove to the sorting office, no it's not there. Back to customer service, they will send the coolmine office manager an email. Still nothing to report. An post is a circus.

Have an Amazon order being delivered by An Post - due to be delivered yesterday & last tracking update was on 29th July stating "Your delivery has been sorted in DUBLIN PARCEL HUB, DUBLIN 12" An Post saying another 1-3 working days due to "large volume of parcels received at the centre"

VG31 · 31-07-2020 01:08PM

Same here. I'm waiting on an Amazon.de parcel since Wednesday which was due to be delivered by today. I paid for priority delivery so I will be looking for a refund of shipping costs. Another item from the order was delivered yesterday in an unmarked van. There seems to be no delays with packages small enough to come with the postman.

I'm also waiting on two parcels from Germany which were scanned by An Post on 29 and 30 July. I wonder if they have staff shortages this weekend.

SPDUB · 31-07-2020 03:35PM

Not sure how widespread it is but there will be amazon deliveries Saturday & Monday in Dublin
