Warning AnPost have long delays

JamboMac

Anybody any experience of package going from in transit to in depot, 2 days later in transit, but no out for delivery or attempted delivery slips. Is this just going to be returned to sender?

It's been in Dublin and the delivery is Dublin so not sure of the second in transit.
Any info would help.

Thanks

That's what I was thinking, I thought that when customs held a package the tracker usually updated to reflect that though

Portlaoise is one of the main customs hubs, If its getting done they look for a value in the packet or on the customs form if that's not there and its something you ordered they write to you looking for proof of value of the item, or it could be "foreign mail" just hasn't been got to yet and you could be lucky, as in late but no charge.

Primary route parcel delivery today. Saw delivery van in Churchtown, Dublin earlier.

They also have a large number of Enterprise Rent-a-van vans.

Exact same in Sligo town.

Regular post Sat.

Parcel on Sunday, in a hired van.

Totally agree with the labelling at least 1cm of the left side of the address missing, the important part, hence the need to have the phone number in the barcode.
Being getting texts in advance of the packet been delivered now with a choice of alternative thing to do, good idea too.
My postwoman told me they werent bringing them out 3 times, getting leaflet if not in at first attempt. shes usually on a bike but using her car now, gone from 20 scanner things to 40-50 a day she says, and to bring next days out with up to half of previous days would be mental.

Anyone else ever noticed a package showing up on anpost before as

ITEM HAS BEEN ACCEPTED DUBLIN AIRPORT CO DUBLIN

Package (China epacket) scanned there this morning, usually the first scan shows as the DMC, wonder are they doing the above to buy time with delays, eg add a day or two on for transport to DMC, lets see lets see how long to deliver now as no further scans today

Cancelled for December, no ringing either, the volume that's there cant do it, I heard.

Can confirm this as codswallop, no cancellation of the 3 attempts has been made,it makes no sense to leave a slip for collection and just have a building full of parcels,one attempt made by regular postie,followed by a evening attempt (where the service applies,i.e cities) on same day,3rd attempt following day by regular postie, slip left if no answer then .

Bare in mind, your number might not be attached to your item when scanned by postie,not all are,it's frustrating as a postie when no number available as if you call and they answer but ain't home,at least they can tell you where to leave it for them rather than bring it back, most parcels can be signed by the postie and left somewhere for the recipient at their request.

Only registered items can't be signed for, some legal reason behind that.

Also,it's shocking how many labels are cut in half these days by the senders labeling machine, I'd say 40% are useless unless you can decipher the person's details by what's on it.you could get it to the relevant city/town but any further isn't possible because it's just not printed properly.

If they refund you and it shows up, they'll usually just ask you to return it and give you a month or so before they charge you again.

Ordered 3 packages from Amazon. One arrived no bother, the other ( a charger and case for a phone ) arrived today two days late, again no problem with that especially at this time of year.

The one package missing is the actual phone itself. Was meant to be here the 12th but it's still not here and the last update on the tracking was at 9:34am on the 9th saying it left the Amazon center in Warwickshire so I don't know if it's even in Ireland.

It says come back Thursday if its not delivered but I just hope they don't refund me, I go off and get the phone somewhere else and then they charge me again if it turns up in late December/January.

I've been waiting 5 working days since it entered the An Post tracking system.
That's fine, they are busy, but now I'm getting attempted deliveries on Saturday to my work address (which anyone would know is closed on Saturday/Sunday), that seems like a waste of precious resources.

Does anyone know do they attempt to re-delivery or do I have to try and find a delivery note (no chance!). I think I read last year they do 3 attempts?

Mine arrived today despite tracking still stating attempted delivery. An Post causing unnecessary grief for themselves confusing customers.

The Royal Mail seems to be a total mess at the moment too.

An AddressPal recieved in Hatfield on the 5th December appears to have been finally delivered today!

The Amazon support have gone to the absolute dogs. If I have to take to another Amir or aknina or whatever they're calling themselves.....

Last time I'll bother with Amazon, just not worth the hassle.

Amazon sent me duplicate packages, including as part of a gift to someone and then sent me an email demanding I return them.

I never ordered them in the first place and in one case they've incurred extra parcel motel fees.

Very annoyed. I just cancelled prime and will be giving Amazon a skip in future.

They didn't for me. They attempted once and left a note for me to collect from next day from local depot.

Sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone know if it’s possible to just go collect packages from the Dublin 12 delivery depot? Packages sitting not moving for days after supposedly being “delivered” and then somehow gone back to the depot. Don’t fancy the chances of another botched delivery attempt.

No you wont get past the security at the gate if you try go to the DMC in D12, so not worth wasting your time. Its when it land's in your local area delivery office you can pick it up from there

There was a full letter and parcel delivery yesterday nationwide.

Primary route parcel delivery today. Saw delivery van in Churchtown, Dublin earlier.

They also have a large number of Enterprise Rent-a-van vans.

There was definately a full nationwide delivery yesterday and am sure the larger urban areas are getting a parcel delivery today.

Have a package to be delivered since Friday as in it’s out for delivery since Friday morning, no sign of it Friday or yesterday. Paid an Irish company extra for next day delivery on Thursday morning. It was kind of important I got this as it’s to head off with someone on an early flight tomorrow.

In our area they only deliver to the larger built up areas at weekends. No rural weekend delivery. If you have the same postman for letters and parcels, chances are you won't get a delivery today.
