    Nope still the same. Atleast we are not the only ones. Another person here is in the same situation. Im hopefull now they should be out for this week. I doubt they have lost 3 seperate people packages. International was probably last on their list as they were over loades from amazon etc.

    I wonder will An Post start doing Saturday deliveries earlier this year and if they’ll do Sundays too? Might be the only way to help clear the backlog although the volume of parcels will only get worse from here on out!

    They are already doing Saturdays here, had a package delivered yesterday from them. It was a week a half late. Also received a package mid week which was over a week late . The ones coming from abroad are taking longest to process.

    Parcels are already being delivered on Saturdays in most areas. The 3 Saturdays in December will be full nationwide delivery both letters and parcels, no talk of Sundays yet. (except probably Dublin).

    Domestic delivery today in North East Wicklow, from An Post.
    I don't remember the Christmas overtime starting this early before - maybe related to the backlog issue?

    Possibly but not entirely... For the last 2/3 weeks we've been asked about working sunday's..Early covid we were out seven days a week.. really depends on the local DSU and how many drivers want to go into work on the sunday (aswell as the saturday). Worked two weeks in a row with one day off and then worked another two weeks myself:eek:. We are doing as much as we can on the local level!!

    5 days is nothing compared to how long many people are waiting.

    Found this https://www.herald.ie/news/an-post-is-slammed-for-its-cross-border-parcel-delivery-cost-39732153.html

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

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

    Seems like a bull**** article to me , the heading states a parcel, the first line says a packet and the 2nd line it mentions a 1kg track and trace letter of which there is no such thing, you can’t have a 1 kg letter.
    So EH which one is it?
    For a packet or a parcel up to 2kg including insurance And track and trace and 2-3 day delivery it’s €13 and €14 for next day so where they get €18.50 I have no idea

    I'm waiting since 22 October at this stage for 2 small parcels....................:( I am envious of someone getting delivery after just 5 days.

    It's referring to prices for Europe, not domestic prices.

    €18.50 for a registered 1 kg packet is correct.

    Well I don’t know about you but the term cross border when referring to Ireland I always took as ROI to NI or vice versa so headline in my opinion is vastly misleading

    Has anyone had their tracking not moved on since Thursday- the last update is that it has been sorted in Dublin 12 on 12th November?

    Getting deliveries 3 times a day here in Cork. Sat and bank holidays also. So the issue is COVID but it's down to the sorting office. They need to physical distance so less staff to sort. Hence the huge backlog. The delivery times are getting very long now. On the plus side it is cutting down on my impulse spending.

    As I said before I had a package due last Tuesday worth over €100. Amazon refunded me last Thursday morning. Then it arrived in Dublin last Thursday evening. Just updated this morning as out for delivery. Should I contact Amazon to charge again or will it be done automatically?
    I have no issue in paying for it but don't wanna spend the money either if it is gonna be deducted if I don't say anything.

    Edit: it also seems to me that anything delivered in Dublin parcel hub is being delivered on time but anything delivered to Dublin mail centre is being delayed

    My daughter ended up losing a place in our first choice secondary school. Sent the application on the 23rd October, closing date was 3rd November and they didn't receive the application until the 12th of November.

    Say nothing. I got three parcels refunded and they eventually turned up on Friday. Amazon have let me down a number of times this year so I don't feel bad about it.

    By the way I am actually waiting for a package from Austria which has been posted on the 22nd October 2020. All i can see it has left Austria on the 24th October, however no tracking update since.

    You can refuse delivery and let it go back, or contact them to charge, it’s up to you.

    I didn't realise how bad things were with the backlog at the moment. I had an order that left Germany a week ago and hasn't been scanned by An Post yet. I hope I'm not waiting weeks for it!
