Anyone else experiencing delays with an Post deliveries at the moment for parcels with tracking?

Andy From Sligo

Hi, I ordered something on Friday last week from ebay Ireland , only coming from Cork to Sligo so it should have got here by now. Delivery was expected today Wed 3rd Sept, got a SMS conformation yesterday from an Post that a parcel was going to be delivered today … nothing in the post today.

It seemed to stutter in the tracking order. why does it take so long Ireland to Ireland delivery where you can get things sometimes delivered a lot quicker when it comes from amazon UK to Ireland?

Andy, I haven't had anything but very fast deliveries this year. Maybe it's a local thing. Contact your local sorting office.

We've had 2 parcels with similar tracking anomalies in the past 2-3 weeks. First parcel from Mayo to Louth took over a week, despite emails from An Post to say they were delivering next working day after 2 days had passed. Second parcel's tracking information crossed with the first (both from the same place, but with different tracking numbers). Both parcels were delivered together - one had taken over a week, one took 2 days. We didn't have accurate tracking information on either of them.

Wonder if An Post are having problems with their tracking system? I never saw the like before.

I've noticed lots of delays with An Post last two weeks.

Basically all of last Thursday and Friday week's parcels still have no scans - we've swapped to using DPD for now

maybe they are inundated with Vinted deliveries!

i finally got my package today, the Ebay seller said it must have been held up in the post sorting offices.

Stuck in Portlaoise, not able to handle the volume of parcels.

I haven't had any parcels recently but I have had emails from a couple of shops I sometimes buy from telling customers that there's a problem with An Post parcels since the 27th of August. Apparently there were technical difficulties that have caused a large backlog.

Hope everyone gets their parcels soon.
