Child Item

An Post

Dhenalau

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.

Yes that’s what I’m hoping as well, isn’t it incredibly frustrating when the USPS TRACKING won’t update and An Post tell you they have nothing! It’s like no mans land. What date did your tracking say in was in Dublin??

Last weekend. I was expecting them to show up on An Post's tracking any day now but after hearing how long you're waiting I'm not so hopeful anymore.

Though if they do show up by some miracle I'll be sure to post an update.

Does anyone know if my parcel has actually left the US from the tracking? I thought should be an update when it departs the US but I haven't bought anything from the US in quite a while so I'm not sure. It's First-Class Package International Service.

Thanks.

My USPS tracking just updated now as well to say in Dublin Customs!!

That's great, hopefully it means the backlog is being cleared and the worst delays are over.

Half of my Amazon order turned up yesterday in a soggy cardboard box when I took it from the postman. I checked An Post's tracking site and it still wasn't listed even though I had it in my hands at that point. As for the remaining part of the order, Amazon said if it doesn't turn up today, I can seek a refund.

Things are only going to get worse with Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the xmas rush all coming up. Why can't An Post take on even more seasonal workers than they already do to cope with this as I'm sure there are many people pushed out of jobs by Covid closures who would welcome a job.

Wait a few days for the 2nd part. Same thing happened with my previous late order, was split into 2 and the 2nd was a few days late and sat in dublin for a few days and appeared without an update from an post.

The order I cancelled yesterday and got a full refund for (about 80 quid) is out for delivery this morning. 11 days from ordering until out for delivery and 8 days stuck in limbo somewhere in An Post.

....

Follow up RE: Refund.

Checked my bank statement today and the £80 credit has been deducted so nothing free for me. So statement goes -£80 when item was dispatched, plus £80 when I was credited and then -£80 again about 24 hours after the item finally arrived.

Ordered 2 items from amazon last week and after having enough of anpost the last 3 weeks I decided to get them delivered with parcel motel. Had both items in my hand in 4 days which is good. Only problem is parcel motel have put up their base price up from 3.95 to 4.50 per item until the end of Christmas but is saves the frustrations with anPost .

That's exactly what I am doing, i'd rather pay extra for piece of mind.

I have a parcel from amazon stuck in the sorting office in Dublin since last Saturday. I had ordered this on the 3rd Nov. Strangely another parcel which I ordered last Friday from amazon was delivered yesterday.

Hello,

This is a first time for me: sending a parcel with AnPost, I selected the "2-day shipping option" for a small box (500g, 20cm x 20cm x 10cm), paid 16 euro.
Tagged the box and dropped it off on Tuesday morning at the local Post Office.

Your post was accepted in HARTSTOWN, DUBLIN 15

17 November 2020 22:08
We have your post in DUBLIN PARCEL HUB, DUBLIN 12

18 November 2020 00:28
Your delivery has been sorted in DUBLIN PARCEL HUB, DUBLIN 12

It's now 1:50pm on Nov 19th, and the parcel has not moved yet.
Was I a fool to expect 2-day shipping to take only 2 days? I surely didn't expect it to mean "spend 2 days in Dublin 12".

Anyone else has experience with sending parcels with AnPost? Better than this?
Cheers!

Almost Every recent post in the courier forum is about delays, and AnPost are probably the worst at the moment. Under normal circumstances it would be 2 days, but they are snowed under. They are doing Saturday and even Sunday deliveries in some places to clear the backlog.

Nope. I got half my order yesterday but still not showing up on the An Post site as being delivered, or even received by them from amazon

I have a package still at "Processing completed at origin" in Frankfurt. (DHL/Deutsche Post). It has been sitting there since the 12th. Thankfully it isn't anything urgent but it's yet another warning to anybody thinking of buying online for Christmas.

I live in Clane, County Kildare but a package for me was sent to County Clare last month, as in Clane/Clare (even though I had my correct Eircode on it)? Someone in An Post is dyslexic methinks!!:D

A parcel of mine has left dublin airport on the 8th,after taking 2 days from the US. No update on it since. Even book depository items are 5 days overdue. Not a fault on their part, they are always swift dispatching.

The lobby of my apartment block is normally like a sorting office, but there has been no parcels lying about for a week now which is very strange.
There must be serious backlogs in delivery companies, and that's before the hordes of ps5's over the horizon.

my local post office tld me uk are 10 days behind with parcels, and that Ireland are 3 days behind ! my last tracking says left uk on 10th Nov, Royal Mail say the parcel has left uk and must be in Ireland pending customs, but surely it wld show something on my tracking by now if it was in ireland, it has to be in a cage in limbo land?!! anyone know how the system works? post office here said it prob hasn’t even come into ireland yet amd that there’s only a few flights a day now as well, its so frustrating waiting and waiting especially when its a birthday present ðŸ€”

Royal Mail are having problems getting post and parcels out of the UK. When it gets to Ireland An Post are not scanning in until they are good and ready, so at this stage it could be sitting there for days. Contact An Post Customer Service and ask the to check on it.

Ordered something off Amazon Wednesday (Prime delivery) - going by the tracking number its being delivered by Fastway
Is this new - I know they used to use Fastway but thought everything had been changed to An Post, or maybe they're fed up with An Post now and gone back to Fastway
Due for delivery today - would be great if it does arrive today (cheapish item too)
