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.

I ordered a small item from ebay on the 13th March, Posted on 16th.

Estimated delivery: Fri, Mar 19, 2021 - Wed, Mar 24, 2021

Due to the coronavirus emergency, deliveries may be delayed.

Still waiting on delivery, no updates since posted.

That item arrived this morning, Cork, Wed 31/03, so a weeks delay on estimate.

Tracking has it been sorted in Dublin, yesterday.

But if you got the text there's a link to the tracking that gives you the information.

As humans deliver the parcels, it is their physical capability that can cause local delay and Saturday delivery is now standard and hundreds of new staff have been taken on.

But with most shops closed, it's exceptionally busy for all parcel services here and all over the world.

Just allow a little extra time.

I know I have a text but tracking info wasn't being updated. And if we're including Saturday, my parcel was delivered on day 5. It's not knowing when they will actually send it. Is it day 3, 4, 5 or whenever? And I'm very much understanding with things.

I don't mind it being late. It's not knowing when they will get around to sending it on. Shouldn't be sitting for days in the parcel hub. Scan it and move it on.

An Post have struggled for the last 12 months. Some items are delivered next day and others are taking weeks. It's not just an Irish thing. Parcel to Canada took over a month. Parcel from Germany took a month. The biggest delay I have had with an Post is 6 weeks getting a parcel from Dublin to Kerry

I have a son & daughter in South Africa, Son in Joburg & Daughter in Cape Town. I posted them Christmas cards around December 9th. My Daughter got the card on March 04. My Son's is still somewhere between Newbridge & Joburg. I also have a Sister in Dallas, who posted a Christmas Card to us on December 10 & it arrived through our letterbox 2 week in February.

Going by this, it seems post is delayed all over.

I'm still waiting for 2 Christmas parcels from Germany. There is currently only one passenger flight a day to all of Germany, so there must be a giant backlog.

Germany to Ireland has taken about a week for my 3 parcels in the last month. DHL use road from Germany to Ireland so passenger flights have nothing to do with it.

so it was the 4th working day rather than the estimated 3rd working day?

Hardly the end of the world and Mother's Day parcel volume may have had an affect.

Finally received the parcels yesterday. Was getting worried with having the parcels stuck for days in the parcel hub in Dublin. I don't think they were ever that slow.

Something similar happened to me turned out...it was sent to a different parcel D.O ( delivery office) then was resent back to mail centre. They are dealing with unprecedented volumes of parcels in the current climate. You will get it unless its illegal and from Amsterdam

I have two parcels in Dublin parcel hub since last week. Received a message last week for one parcel saying that it will be delivered up to 3 working days. The third working day was Monday and it hasn't been delivered.

What's going on?

your text will have the tracking number, enter it into the anpost site and see what the status is

Considering the phenomenal increase in business and the fact that delivery except in November was very good, it was well deserved.

They brought unions and staff with them and worked with covid 19 restrictions.

But people like you have to accept that international delivery and international receipt of parcels is totally beyond their control. Maybe you just don't understand the pandemic that has been around for 12 months and has meant 80% of flights have been grounded.?

Sorry CEO, didn't realise that was you

Hi
I ordered from the US 17th Dec and still hasn’t arrived. Last tracking details like many on here is “ Your item departed a transfer airport in DUBLIN, IRELAND on December 27, 2020 at 11:13 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination”
An post has nothing on their system. Where could it be? What airport? Who do I contact?
Has anyone had any luck contacting anyone!
Thanks

The seller is the only person/company you should be contacting.

Using First Class Mail International, deliveries generally take between 7–21 days to arrive, although the USPS does not guarantee delivery dates or times. Mail may travel to its destination by ground, air, or a combination of both. Try UPS for your parcel delivery needs to Ireland today.

Only took my parcel 77 days to get from the GPO in Dublin 2 to their centre in Dublin 12. God know how long it will take these idiots to get it to Mexico City.
