    Have had a package sitting in the North Dublin depot for nearly a week now, no sign of any movement with it.

    Phone An Post customer service for better tracking.

    This morning tracking was showing my parcel was in Galway (since last Thursday) but it was actually in Portlaoise since Saturday.

    My parcel from Germany, that was showing as stuck in Koln since 23rd Nov, arrived today. It didn't show up on the An Post tracking until this morning, only a few hours before it arrived.

    That's somewhat reassuring, I've a package that was forwarded to Ireland from Austria on the 21st of November and no sign of it in An Post tracking. I have put in a request for information from Austrian post since it contains Christmas presents to all the family...

    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering has anyone has this issue before.


    We posted signed contracts last Wednesday evening and as of this morning our solicitor has not received them.

    I didn't register the package as i assumed it wouldn't be an issue sending it to the solicitor an hour away, and the package containing the contracts was sent by standard post.



    I paid the cashier in the post office and then put in the postbox myself to be sure it went in.



    I've emailed AN POST regarding the delay and await a reply.


    Am i jumping the gun here and could this be down to a delay due to COVID and Christmas.


    Any advice or ideas would be a help.


    Thanks

    Did you make copies?
    Can you do them off again or have sent by email and print them.

    Is the solicitors far away? If not I'd throw them in the door.

    An post is snowed under. Our route has 3 extra vans then the normal lot.

    It seems to be very hit and miss. I've sent a letter Dublin to Dublin arrived next day. Most of the parcels I've sent have been 2 days with the odd one arriving next day.

    No they were original documents so i legally can't make copies.


    Solicitors is about 90 mins away.


    Well at least if AN Post are snowed under then maybe they just havent arrived yet instead of being missing

    New update from our rep at an post.

    Dear Customer,
    Our parcel volumes have continuously increased since October and as we have been receiving volume in excess of our overall capacity for some time, we have now reached a backlog level that forces us to take immediate and decisive action. As per our most recent communication informing you that we are currently experiencing delays of 7 days, unfortunately, in the interest of fulfilling customers' expectations, we have no other choice than to bring forward our latest date of posting before Christmas to Monday 14th December.

    This means that we cannot guarantee that parcels injected into the An Post Commerce's network from Tuesday 15th December will be delivered before Christmas day.

    This has been an extremely difficult decision for us to make and we fully appreciate that you will be dissatisfied by it. Nevertheless, at this point in time, we have no other option in order to avoid potentially disappointing your consumers.

    Yours sincerely,

    Can't say I am surprised with how bad they have been to be honest, I had a parcel arrive in Dublin on the 27th of November, it was only delivered to Portlaoise Yesterday, it took 2 days to get from the UK to Dublin, but over a week to get from Dublin to Portlaoise

    I have a parcel stuck in their system for 3 weeks now. Regardless of backlogs or covid, that is shambolic.

    Managed to get in touch with them this morning, they do have the parcel and it has not moved and since they received it, very apologetic but basically told me they have such a backlog at the minute they could not even give me an estimate.

    Sent a postal order last Tuesday from Dublin 5 to Dublin 9, 15 min drive max. Arrived yesterday. Shocking service.

    Booked a motorbike courier to pick up this weeks one. Agree with post above, its just not acceptable.

    I had a parcel “forwarded” from Spain to Ireland on Nov 5 and it turned up yesterday. I suspect it spend most of that time in Spain as it never made it into the An Post tracking system

    Anyone know if you can just go to their depot and pick up your package yourself like you can with other couriers as this is ridiculous at this stage?

    There is a serious An Post email going around saying they tried to deliver a parcel and as yiu were not there to accept - they will try again but there is a €1 charge payable - and to 'click here' !!! Looks and sounds like official An Post email with good english and good quality logo. BEWARE... serious SCAM!!!

    So- if u not expecting a package ... don't get sucked in!!
