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.

An Post unprepared for expected massive surge in online shopping. I, for one, am shocked.

Not Entirely .

Xmas hours are starting next Monday which is over 2 weeks earlier than it has ever started before .

Unfortunately Lockdown caused a spike even earlier than expected

Saturday for parcels has been a thing for ages. If they were serious they'd be doing Sundays.

I think you need to re-read the post you replied to :pac:

Got email yesterday -

New additional automated facility opening today. (Fri)

Delays dramatically reduced in the past week with substantial numbers now being delivered within two days.

Backlog from 27th Oct to 4th Nov to be cleared by today.

As for the person saying they should be working Sunday, they've been on a 7 day delivery since mid October and bank holiday too. Parkwest is operating 24/7.

Mines getting delivered today after being stuck in limbo for 2 weeks, refund was issued from Amazon a few days ago

Bought some Costume jewelry on line form USA sender sent it via Priority Mail express International Insurance included. on 5/11/20
the priority Mail express International stated 3-5 days! Am I being totally naïve expecting it would come in this time frame?
at first I got regular updates from my USPS tracking no. but nothing has updated since Sunday last 8/11/20.
I am really worried now, Its not showing on An Post tracking it was not a large parcel it was a padded envelope .
Would you say it will come and the likelihood is that it is just delayed? Most people on here seem to have received theirs eventually

Hi by any chance did your tracking update ? Im expecting a similar package to yours and mine was scanned 10 minutes ahead of yours.

Anyone else noticing the an post status not filtering through to amazon as promptly. Having to go into an post tracking to do an update to see if out for delivery. It could be an hour or so later before it updates.

Item ordered on the 5th was due 2 days ago arrived in dublin yesterday. Still up there, normally would be down this end of the county and delivered this morning.

Thats been going on since late March for me. Its not regular but the odd time I'll check in the mooring long after the postman will have scanned an item and its shown still in Dublin (not as us should show as out for delivery) but come lunchtime he's there at the gate with it.

Edit - Even the delivery update is hours out. 6 hours after delivery it still says out for delivery never seen that before.

Is the AnPost Dublin hub really backed up? Sold off a couple of items to Cex and mailed them off to Dublin from Cork on Tuesday still in Portloaise

I'd say all of their hubs are experiencing backlogs. Its a shame they closed the sorting center in Little Island in Cork, now all items are going via Portlaoise or Athlone.

Woman in front of me at the P0 on Thursday was posting off an item asked how long it would take (somewhere in ireland) and was told 4 days even with express. That was Thursday morning so god knows what it is now.

So why the hell would they sell the express service?
Either you want something there tomorrow or you don't care when it arrives

Regulator already told off An Post for some of their ridiculous prices - An Post being one of the most expensive postal services in Europe

I cancelled a shipped Amazon order that was fulfilled by Amazon which was last seen in Liverpool 5 days before the prime delivery date. 2 days after the due date I went on chat and got a refund. The next day I got an an post tracking text.
Do you think this item will be returned to Amazon or arrive at the house?
I have no problem contacting Amazon to say it has arrived and get the money deducted again. The problem is if I were to buy it again it has shot up in price

Can you provide a link?

For many services Royal Mail are more expensive, similarly France and Germany.

Where I work we have facilities in these locations and I know the comparative costs.

No most people have said you just get to keep the goods for free
Edit sorry I’m not sure if you actually cancelled your order before it was due? That might change things

I cancelled a few days after it was due. It said it may be lost

I got the same, refund received the other day and goods due for delivery in the next day or 2. It’s only €35 but I suppose Amazon letting you keep the goods for free keeps you happy and gets you back shopping with them

Their track and trace system costs are taking the p*ss.

My small package that was due on Thursday is still in Dublin.

Their prices are beyond ridiculous! I have started using parcel2go for small packages and parcels. Better service and better pricing.

This might be a push for amazon to increase their delivery service here especially for the christmas.

Surely thats what An Post wants people to do. With their pricing how can they want business?

Management must be well pissed they can't keep shutting things down and getting rid of postmen because of the increase in online shopping.

An Post 2 kg registered parcel to Europe: €40
Royal Mail 2kg tracked & signed parcel to Europe: £15

UPS 2kg parcel to Europe: €23
DPD 2kg parcel to Europe: €21 (for some countries)

An Post are outrageously expensive for anything bigger than a packet size. I use UPS and sometimes Nightline or DPD for anything large.

Mod-LfcIreland and Munstermunch. You're going around in circles with the same questions to people who posted weeks ago. An Post are snowed under and generally leave non EU deliveries at the back of the queue. Contact An Post for further information.
