An Post

Knowing my luck mine is lost 😄

Had a parcel from Europe arrive in Dublin mail centre and then get forwarded on to athlone mail centre even though It’s going to a Dublin address. Was there a mess up with the address on the senders side or is this Normal ?

Still no sign of this parcel and no update on tracking. Its country of origin is Netherlands. Company is saying that there are "long delays on post to Ireland". An Post just say they don't have it still.

I can't complain about delivery times from Germany recently, it's taking around 4-6 days.

Yep - whilst you may have a final scan from PostNL - that just means it has been processed to the international dispatch holding area. It then has to wait for space.

But with good air service back up and running, there should be no long delays. I suspect it just got stuck inadvertently.

On a positive note, my niece and nephew got their letters from Santa Claus House in Alaska yesterday. They were posted from Alaska on Tuesday. Santa must have a special express service.

Yeah Christmas delays definitely started, I sent something express post on Tuesday, and it's only out for delivery today (Dublin to laois)

I sent a registered (national) letter today, will be interesting to see how long it takes to be delivered, considering my last registered parcel took 6 days when usually is next day!

Also kinda concerned for this registered letter because it looks like the post office employee didn't apply the registered label fully on the envelope, she peeled back about half the sticker and stuck half of it down to the envelope, and left the other half sticking up with the peelable paper still stuck to it- so basically half the label was stuck down and now I'm worried it's going to fall off and they lose my registered letter..

Where are all the postmen? Did they all catch Covid or are they on strike? I haven't seen one here doing the rounds this week and didn't see one last week either. No-one is getting their mail. The last time I saw their van here was around 9th or 10th December. I've got a parcel stuck in Dublin mail centre since last Thursday and I'm starting to think it will never come. Very frustrating.

Express post handed in to post office Monday , tracking still sez your post was accepted in , I was hoping this would be quick after going for express option , didn’t even make it to the Dublin hub for sorting yet , not looking good if I say so , I thought post offices are meant to be cleared every day for next day , any help anyone , cheers in advance

Cheers thanks for that , time of year and all that so delays are expected, just never had a parcel stay in accepted on tracker overnight before , that usually happens in the the Dublin hub 😂😂

A parcel was posted from England to me on October the 13th.This parcel is a big size,4 feet long by about 18 inches wide.Sent thru Parcelforce.It does'nt arrive into Ireland till 5th November,which is a long time to just get across the Irish sea.Anyway,it's somewhere in the "Irish Postal System" according to Parcelforce.I've paid the taxes/customs duty etc during the checkout on Ebay,and the sender has filled the correct CN23 customs form .

Still no sign of the parcel.In fairness to the sender,they've been in regular contact with me and Parcelforce to see where it is.Latest step is a courier/postman is going to call to my house and get me to sign a form saying it has'nt arrived,then the sender will start the insurance ball rolling to get the money back.Bloody annoying altogether.

At least not all hope is lost - my parcel arrived and it only took a week from Dublin mail centre to reach me in the greater Dublin area! So... massive delays because of the sheer volume of mail but they're trying.

Hello Lads,

I have a package from addresspal NJ, I paid customs and was waiting to be delivered today. It had arrived in my town this morning and was out for delivery around 8:11, then it was marked as delivered around 15:00. I have a ring camera and theres was nothing that was delivered. I asked my local postman and he confirmed there was nothing for me this morning. I know him and trusted my local postman. He will brought this up to his mail manager tomorrow morning. Has any of you experience this case?

Is there a problem with outgoing mail in Galway? I was sent a parcel on Friday and it still isn't showing in the An Post tracking. I trust the sender put it in the mail on Friday so it isn't a case of lying on a table somewhere waiting for someone to take the parcels to the post office today afternoon. Maybe it will simply arrive without ever showing in the tracking but just wondering if I should alert the sender or wait. It was supposed to be here before Christmas but not sure now. Usually post from Galway to Dublin gets here in a day if lucky.
