Child Item

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.

Ordered two small items from the Czech Republic last month. Supplier informed me that he posted on the 3rd November. He came back the next day with proof of postage and my correct address, according to Czech Post, item “left their jurisdiction” on the 11th November.
So I want to the local sorting office, they were very friendly, but didn’t want to see the Czech documents, couldn’t tell me what route the item may have taken, where it might be etc.etc..
All I got was, “There’s huge backlogs in Dublin ( I’m in Kildare) , don’t worry , it’ll probably arrive soon. Keep the faith.”
Wonderful.

I ordered a small item on Amazon Monday and it just arrived, they are lucky they are doing their own deliveries!

Placed an order from a company in the UK and unfortunately the courier service is Hermes - the last update on their tracking system is the 5th of December saying ‘we’ve got your parcel’. This is an Xmas present and very worried at this stage it’s not going to arrive. They are impossible to get through to. Any advice on what I should do?

Im the same - no update since 5th Dec. Its a gift of shoes for my father. He wont be too upset if it doesnt arrive before Christmas. Its just annoying its being delivered with Hermes. Never heard anything good about them

How long are people waiting for deliveries from Germany? Package started with DHL in Germany and An Post for Irish part of journey. Placed the order on Monday evening of last week, it arrived at Cologne airport on Wednesday 9th but no update since.

I posted a parcel within Ireland today and was told unlikely it would make it before Christmas. I did tracking and swift in the hope it might! Will keep you’s posted, she said I could be lucky!

Very useful to give timeline ideas of how backed up things are. Thanks. Waiting on a small parcel coming from the bottom of Cornwall that was posted on the 27th. No tracking numbers just working on the assumption it will get here when it get's here.

I had one arrive posted early December

If its Look Fantastic, it's gone, they are absolutely shocking! or Hermes are, not sure which. Could you print out an image of the gift and put it in a card and at least if its late or after Christmas you can just explain what happened.

I have 3 orders from Look Fantastic waiting at least 2 weeks at this stage - they seem to be completely stuck somewhere ...likewise this morning I got a message from a website in the Netherlands saying item I ordered is now stuck in a backlog with DHL and will be delayed significantly.

Check out the advent calendar thread, LF made a huge balls up, they seem all over the place. They are still emailing me about a parcel I’ve received saying it’s still with Irish final chain.

Saw that and posted there too. It's very irritating! Hopefully it will turn up. I have had stuff delivered by An Post recently that didn't come with preceding texts or emails so hopefully they actually have the advent calendar.

Oh no. I have been keeping an eye on this thread to see if anyone was waiting from something from LF. 17track shows my LF parcel was at a national sorting hub on 30 Nov. I tried the tracking number on both An Post website and Fastway website, as I saw that another poster had something delivered by Fastway. Still waiting on my December birchbox as well which is usually delivered by An Post. No sign of that either.

I ordered from LF on Nov 29th and it arrived yesterday (14th) so there are long delays but hopefully yours will turn up soon also.

Not necessarily - my LF order finally showed up and was delivered by Fastway after a 2 and a half week wait!

Just waiting on my EMP order now and that's all my presents in. An Post tracker says it's getting ready for delivery - the relief.

Got on to them on live chat yesterday as the last update I had was that it had been sorted at a hub on 4th Dec. They told me it's now at the DC for DUNSHAUGHLIN and should be delivered in next few days. No option to pick it up from the DC.

I'm in the same position. Ordered from UK and package in North Dublin depot since Dec 2nd. I was starting to worry but glad to know it's not an issue with my package specifically.

An Post tracker says my package was delivered on Dec 13th but I never received anything. Anyone else have this problem?

04 December 2020, 05:56 - We have your post in DUBLIN DEPOT, DUBLIN

13 December 2020, 15:17 - Your delivery has been sorted in PARK WEST, DUBLIN 12

This arrived today, so presumably they're working with (roughly speaking) a 9 day delay at the moment?

Must be a horrible time to work for An Post.

When this arrived today, the post man had the van reversed up to my house with the rear doors open wide, and even though it was being delivered at 4pm-ish, the van looked like it was still packed to the gills.

Funnily enough the very large parcels I had come into the UK addresspal in Hatfield (bicycle) all got delivered to me days after being in Hatfield but the smaller stuff like a pair of shoes that arrived a week earlier to hatfield I am still waiting on and seem stuck in Dublin. They probably prioritize big parcels just to get them out of the way and make room , the smaller the item maybe the later you can expect it.

My mother is listening to her CDs at the moment, thank goodness.

It jumped from Portlaosie to being out for delivery.
