    ordered a gift voucher from a small Irish company based in Dublin on 12 Dec. They posted it on 16th Dec and there is still no sign of it. I only live 25km from Dublin.

    I contacted the seller of my above voucher yesterday as I still haven’t received it. They said they will send another voucher today by registered post , will I get it tomorrow? I’m leaving for Limerick early in the morning and need it!

    Same, voucher posted on 16th December and still no sign, it's very annoying. I checked the last post dates on the An Post website at the time and it said that 21st Dec was the last date for guaranteed Christmas delivery. That's obviously bull. If it doesn't show up tomorrow I'll have no present to give on Christmas Day.

    Package posted from the Netherlands on Nov 26th that I had given up hope of having for Christmas, just arrived a little while ago. Also received a package that I ordered from China on Nov 23rd, that I definitely did not expect to receive before Christmas!

    Next day delivery from NDub to SDub with AnPost today.


    Also got a Yanwen package, they're a mail aggregator, normally its CN bulk then dispatched from NL. This time:

    "FROM:
    Bejing Yanwen Logistics Co,
    C/O PO BOX 123...
    An Post Portlaoise
    Co Laois
    R32A32F"

    Also branded with a very low res AnPost logo. Nice bit of business for AP there. Yanwen cover a LOT of packages from Ali that used to be CN Post directly. 5/12 to 23/12 is good going from China.

    Mine turned up this afternoon. The seller put the wrong eircode on it which might explain the delay.

    Now that is complete balderdash.

    Date arrival into Ireland is what matters and customs are not going to create delays for a few bob.

    How do people believe such sh1te??

    And how on earth would a delivery person know what goes on in a large parcel depot.

    Just think of how stupid the suggestion is.

    He might be a union rep or know someone in management etc, im not saying he's correct but just because hes an ordinary postman doesnt mean he doenst have accurate information

    If the address was correct the eircode would be irrelevant

    Well that's that then. The package I was expecting hasn't arrived. I can't help but be a bit annoyed by that, even though I know the gift recipients won't mind waiting a few days it's pretty crap. Especially as it was dispatched a week and a half ago.

    But your parcel was dispatched from London.

    Have a Google of the massive problems that royal mail are having. Literally parcel mountains in places, cages left outside on the street, and on top of all that, covid delays.

    And then there's the service level paid for. "Standard international" takes 5-7 days in good times.

    In reality, it probably won't arrive until 2nd week of January.

    Oh yeah. I know it's not all on An Post. I'd say it's pretty crazy everywhere. Just a shame.

    I had some luck. Had a battery arrive on the 23rd from Lithuania. It was an AliExpress special so ordered it ages ago.

    On Christmas Eve an Echo Dot arrived from Amazon that I ordered back on November 20th! Had given up on it so got a refund on it at least 2 weeks ago. Can best a freebie!

    There are a few things on Amazon I am considering buying but estimated delivery with Prime is the 5th January. Most are 11th and after.

    But they all get delivered tomorrow to a U.K. address.

    I don’t know if that means Amazon are prioritising the U.K. or there is simply that much of a backlog.

    Does An Post still have the delays?

    If I have stuff sent to AddressPal would I get it this week?

    Sent my driving licence to NDLS on 6th Nov, got a msg 23.12.2020 " Your Licence has been dispatched, and you should receive it in the next 3-5 working days." Apparently this is the time it now takes to renew via AnPost. Just in case later on in the year and assuming that travel is allowed abroad, and you need a valid in date licence, order in plenty of time..

    Sent my driving licence to the NDLS Nov 5th, and on the Dec 23rd, got a msg saying that it had been dispatched, and would arrive in the next 3-5 working days. Seems that this is the new normal, so if you intend travelling next summer, and your License is near expiry, make sure that you allow minimum 2 mths for a replacement one to arrive .

    They use Aer Lingus and British Airways at Heathrow too. Aer Lingus have been sending over their bigger aircraft to help clear backlog.

    Sent all of the driving licence renewal documents to the NDLS on 6th November, heard nothing back, so emailed them on 20th Dec to find out what was happening. 23rd Dec, got a phone msg apologising for the delay, and saying that it was ready and I would receive it in the next 3-5 working days. Grand.
    Then this morning, I got an Email, giving a case ID nr to be quoted in all correspondence regarding the licence issue. They also want my personal details to prove that I am who I say I am....
    So, I'll give it until next week and see how it goes. Very strange, it seems like there are two different departments, who do not coordinate with each other .

    UPDATE: Licence arrived this morning 30.12.2020.
    So the moral of the story is:- If your Licence is due for replacement, budget minimum 8 weeks as the time it will take.

    Seems both AddressPal, and AnPost call centres are closed.

    Got an email from AddressPal payment couldn't be taken for a package. Website showed two packages, one paid for, one moved to Specials Area.

    Called the bank, no issues, no blocks.

    I can't get through to AddressPal, or AnPost call centers, it rings, and then cuts you off.
    Their webchat is also gone on their site.

    Anyone else able to get through to AnPost support?

    Is anyone else waiting for an item to be delivered by An Post that was posted in Ireland? I ordered something that the seller said was posted on the 6th Dec but there's been no sign of it. It was only being sent from Cork to Wicklow. I think the seller is reputable so either they made a mistake or I think it must be lost in the post :(

    You can see from my other post above..
    I posted my old licence to the NDLS for renewal on 6th Nov, and and I received the new one on 30.Dec. Internal Post.
    ( if that's any consolation to you.........:confused: )
