    No they weren't .

    Trump banned flights from Europe on March 12th and extended it to Ireland and UK on March 14th .

    So by March 21st there was a limited number of flights between Europe and USA

    Fact is though that USPS confirmed (as per my posts above) that my parcel left the US on March 21st. Why are you continuing to argue ?

    USPS would only know that it went into the cargo area of the airport. It could then sit there for weeks before space is available on an aircraft which is why they started to send European parcels by sea freight in the last few weeks.

    Think of checking in at an airport. You've checked in, gone through security and effectively "left". But if your flight is delayed you have not left, you are in a holding situation in the departure lounge.

    So you consider it arguing when it's pointed out that 2 things you said were facts ( lockdown and flights) aren't anything of the sort .

    If I actually wanted to wanted to argue I would point out what question you should get your sender to ask USPS

    Who knows. They can't deliver Amazon packages and they're the premium delivery product.

    I have a delay on a USPS package at the moment, that I'm a bit unsure how to proceed with.

    Tracking information shows me it was processed through Jamaica NY on May 10 and then a separate log saying it departed NY on May 10.

    The final tracking entry is for May 11 and it says 'Your item departed a transfer airport in DUBLIN, IRELAND on May 11 ... Your item is currently in transit to the destination'.

    But no sign since. Could it be waiting in some depot?

    I haven't tried emailing a query anywhere yet. It's not showing up on An Post tracking yet.

    12 days from ‘Departed Dublin Airport’ to being delivered in my experience in early May, someone else more recently had 20 days elapse. Likely sitting in a cage to be sorted/go through customs.

    I had a similar tracking experience recently and this was for an item from Ireland to U.K. An Post tracking on 8th May said shipped and Royal Mail status from 8th May until 22nd said “we are expecting item from country of origin“. It was delivered on the 23rd but had no tracking update for 2 weeks. I imagine it was just sitting somewhere.

    Hopefully you'll have it soon.

    Your experience gives me some confidence.

    My item is only small, a4 packet as opposed to a package.

    Took 2 days in customs, left "DUBLIN DIRECT ENTRY" today and often in the past when I've had a package leave Dublin, it's delivered (Cork) the next day. I'd be surprised if I see it tomorrow but there's hope yet.

    I'm still waiting on a package shipped 60 days ago from Serbia there can't be that much of a delay surely it is lost at this stage,

    It's nearly 2m long so it's hard to loose something that big,

    Generally I see when you post, there's nearly always an issue. Whether its a delivery service, a phone service, a tv service or some other service.

    You either have dreadful bad luck with virtually every service out there or there is something about your address that is causing an issue.

    If I had as much poor experience with every company I dealt with as you seem to have, I'd look at what may be wrong at my end.

    It looks like Heathrow actually is quite a culprit.

    I had a parcel come into AddressPal 3 days ago. It's still sitting there.

    Another one shipped from Greece on the 22.04. turned up in Heathrow on the 21.05., but hasn't moved since either.

    It looks like he's spoofing attempts to keep within Amazons SLAs. Amazon are only happy until they're ready to drop AP for Amazon Logistics.

    Is this actually an post's issue or is it something else? I know delays is common right now and I'm ok with that given what's happening around the world. But what is an acceptable delay?

    I ordered two parcels from America in April. Both of them shipped within two days of each other. Received one of them over two weeks ago. Still waiting on another.

    Not sure how to proceed with the package I'm still waiting for and if I should follow it up or give it more time.

    My parcel which left the warehouse in the US in early April has been in Ireland since mid May and departed Dublin Airport on the 17th. It hasn't made it as far as Wexford yet though.
    In the hands of USPS, or at least that's who is providing the final mile tracking which hasn't changed since the 17th. 😒

    If your tracking starts with U, you won't receive any further updates.

    Even stuff going to AddressPal is delayed. I had one sit 5 days in Heathrow after being delivered to An Post AddressPal address. It did turn up tracking wise in Ireland eventually on Saturday .. hopefully arriving on Tuesday.
