Child Item

An Post

Got a "We attempted to deliver your item" from An Post yesterday.
Was working from home waiting for them and just to be sure, I checked my security cameras. Nobody came to the door...

This is a package from Amazon and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, I assume An Post has a contract with them and it's easy to enter a fake delivery attempt to keep the stats up...

Inquired online, chat wit a nice customer service person trying to get more info, he could not get an answer to his call to the local post office and send an email asking for more details.

Took the time to go to the local Post Office where I was feed BS by the guy saying they only leave a notice after the third attempt to deliver and a
"Come back on Wednesday, if you do not get a notice"

Let's see if try to deliver today.

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. ðŸ˜’

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

Hi all.ive been waiting on 1 from uk since the 27th march.
Last bit of tracking that it was leaving the uk that morning and not a thing since.i wonder could it be holed up in storage around heathrow?
Just wondering has anybody been waiting as long for mail from the uk?

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.

I think the uk threshold would be max around 3 weeks... 2 months is little over the top....

I am waiting as well..... but mine parcels are expensive...it will be pain to either recover money or even deal with it at this stage

You're out of date with your news.

They agreed terms on a warehouse in Greenogue. It will be for mixed fulfillment. So if one item for an Irish customer is in one warehouse and other items are in other warehouses, all items will be shipped to greenogue for sending out as a single delivery.

It's not a big step. Only about 20-30 staff will be employed there

Does it contain lithium batteries? If so they may have returned it as the batteries are prohibited.

Hi white rebel.
no,it doesnt.he said batteries wouldnt be included,just in case what you suggested might have happened.
Its just odd,the 27th of march was the day most flights were grounded.
Im hoping its just with a pile of other mail in storage in heathrow somewhere and just waiting for the ban to be lifted.
You never know.

A book posted in San Jose, CA on 12th May arrived today 2nd June. Sent by USPS.

Things are moving out of London. There are flights out nearly every day to Dublin. Who was the last tracking with? Did AddressPal ever confirm they got it?

Not fast though. I got one gone through Addresspal today, that they got last week Sunday (26.05.). So it can take at least a week from the time it arrives in AddressPal to it lands in the Republic atm.

They certainly don't have the capacity to deal with everything that comes through atm. Back to shipping via Parcel Motel. They still operate pretty much normal.

I've been waiting 7 weeks for a parcel from America. Who do I chase this up with? Is there any point getting in touch with an post?

No. Always let the sender investigate. He's the one that paid for the shipping, so the courier has a contractual obligation to him.

The parcel of mine, that was delayed the longest, took 9 1/2 weeks from shipping to arrival. USPS US side, An Post this side.

What's with all the delays? The weird thing is I had another parcel shipped around the same time (either two days before or two days after), and I got that about 3 weeks ago.

Guess it can show up anytime in June so.

An Post don't have any connection with USPS nor any access to their systems.

As per many other posts, there are huge delays in parcels from USA and it all goes by airfreight and the number of flights between USA & Ireland (and Europe) are few and far between

Here's their release about some European parcels
https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/pdf/fourth-air-to-sea-diversion-6-1-20.pdf

That suggests 6-7 weeks minimum delivery at present.

le_girl

My parcel from the US that was sent over 9 weeks ago has just shown up on An Post's tracking page

It's being assessed by customs. I know I might be waiting a while yet and it might be completely battered but it's in the country. Hallelujah.

EDIT: it was shipped on the 30th of March from LA for those who are also waiting and want to compare. Last update before today was the 3rd of April.

Swampy

There must be a massive backlog

Bikerguy

What about between europe.... how long that can take?

As i mentioned....spain and slovakia.... i could walk it...it would be quicker
