    Yep.

    An post are doing a good job.

    The delays are coming from further afield. I've had a few things delivered from abroad and it's taking ages to get to An Post.




    Are you expecting anything from USA if so did you get it and how long did it take regards Brian

    Bear in mind that with the number of flights down considerably at the moment, the ability to move nonessential goods through the supply chain is being impacted, and particularly so throughout Europe. Delays not necessarily the postal companies fault

    we getting the run around i think


    I don't mind waiting, if they were being straightforward with me and giving me a realistic timeline of when I can expect the package, I'd be 100% okay.



    But for my tracking number to say it's in the country and then An Post to A) ignore the tracking update saying it's in Dublin when they look it up themselves and then B) Tell me to disregard it as "there's absolutely no chance that package is in the country yet" is just frustrating. It's a 6 hour flight from New York to Dublin, so it's not unreasonable for my package to be in the country after leaving on Thursday like.

    whats the latest with getting packages from USA

    I ordered a secondhand part last year from the US and on ebay and it was stuck in a warehouse Kentucky for 2 months before it got here. Never again.

    I think that's what they call plausible deniability. It can't be in Ireland because it isn't in our system yet. The fact that it isn't there because they haven't entered it is immaterial.......

    "The shipment has been sorted and forwarded.

    Dublin Direct Entry".

    Where's that? Customs?

    I wonder if the difference is down to it having to be re badged.

    Some USA tracking numbers won't work in most of their systems especially those starting with U and have to get a new number on them in the international section

    I remembered that I had another item from the same seller that I bought before Christmas.

    I checked the tracking number for that, it departed New York on the 16th of December and USPS said it was in Ireland on the 17th of December. I received that item on the 19th. So now I know that An Post are definitely fobbing me off by saying my item is not in the country.

    I'm really not trying to be impatient here, I'm well aware that things might be backed up, I'm just frustrated by the blatant lies An Post are telling me.

    I received an item today the 8th May from AliExpress (Departed from China). I ordered it on 27th March. I'm still waiting on other items and hopefully they start to show up soon and the same for everyone else. Just thought I'd give some of you an idea of when stuff was ordered from AliExpress and when it arrived.

    Mine arrived today after having touched down yesterday morning in"Dublin Direct Entry" at 5.15 am. Whoever generated that update on my Norwegian Post tracking number, it all happened pretty fast afterwards.
    Either way, ordered 26th March, delivered 8th May with An Post this side.

    I have a small parcel, nothing awkward or heavy that according to tracking has been in dublin (from the states) since April 23rd, i know they are dealing in large demands and may have many off sick however my partner ordered something similar two days after me and has it now. Very strange, no?.

    Likewise here.
    My tracking says -sorted in Dublin Weds 6th. Still waiting for delivery.

    My Amazon order page initially said , delivery next Tuesday .
    It would seem An Post do not want to make a liar out of Amazon

    CN stuff acts that way all the time. They don't seem to bother processing cages First In First Out.

    Thinking of ordering a few bits off Wish, am I wasting my time? The wait time is long enough in normal times let alone during this.

    The delays are pretty extreme now, they must be dealing with an enormous number of parcels each evening. It will clear eventually though.

    Sent an Email last Friday but, guess what no reply . If you try ring any of the variety of on An post numbers ,as soon as you look for tracking , you are referred to the website.

    ( An post are not alone at this I have spent 2 hours on the phone today trying to contact Niteline /parcel motel to get info on a parcel sent from Limerick last Tues. Tracking shows it Limk/Dublin/Dublin/outbound/outbound/ Weighed Sat. @2112 and, it still has not arrived)

    Just listen to the options until you get one that lets you speak to someone, ignore the "go online to track" messages.

    I've rang them three times in the last week to get a straight answer about where my package is and every time I've gotten through to an agent, they've never referred me to the website.

    Had zero visibility online for this parcel from the US, which finally arrived today (via USPS):

    30th April -> departed Dublin airport
    no updates (USPS or An Post)
    -> delivered today (customs due so it obviously went through the customs process in the interval)

    in case it helps anyone in a similiar situation
