Any luck with your delivery yet? I ordered something from Spain - the parcel left Spain on 23 December and since then there's been no sign of it arriving in Ireland. I'm hoping it is in a queue in Ireland and not stolen somewhere along the line but there's no way for me to find out what's wrong! Frustrating!

Yeah it arrived after An Post held onto it for 24 days or thereabouts!

Glad you got yours - I'll continue in hope then 🙄

Tracked item from the UK has been sitting as "Your delivery has been sorted DUBLIN MAIL CENTRE, DUBLIN 12" for five days now. Its sort-of urgent so this is getting ridiculous.

Seperately, conventional letter post from the UK - periodical sent every two weeks, one issue arrived on Monday and the previous one arrived on Tuesday!

Seems to be the norm, I've had UK packages went from 'your delivery has been sorted', to 'we have your delivery in' for days and days and then randomly one day it changed to out for delivery and then delivered

The last tracking message on my package was that it was on its way to destination country on 23 December 😒

crossman47 · 19-01-2022 12:29PM

My experience over Christmas has been of major delays in standard post - internal and external. I got a Christmas card from Dublin this morning. No postmark but pretty sure it was posted before Christmas.

P38Man · 21-01-2022 01:00AM

My parcel turned up on the AnPost system when I checked the tracking number tonight - ‘arrived’ in Dublin this afternoon - so there are still significant delays in the system, nearly a month since it left Spain

Srfcsean · 24-01-2022 11:17AM

An post tracker said on 20/01/2022 ur parcel is in Ireland but there’s a customs charge , my question is how did an post no there were customs charges on my parcel that was still in America 😂😂 I’m still baffled by it , how did my parcel get here before the actual plane did 🤷‍♂️

If USPS used the electronic data as An Post have been looking for, they will have all the details in advance. Your post in confusing, it says it was in Ireland on 20/1, are you saying it wasn't?

737ngpilot · 25-01-2022 01:05PM

It's a scam email. Don't click into it. If there's a failed attempt to deliver, a note will be left in your door. Just delete the email

There's no emails involved here, read the thread again. It's about An Post making fake claims of delivery attempts that never happened.

JRH · 31-01-2022 11:21PM

like people have said ... Amazon parcels fly through .. like super quick . Iv been using it quite a bit now as everything from ebay and uk post gets gets returned .

But today ... heres a new one ... Amazon prime (through anpost ) left the box outside my front door . Never seen that with an post before , like the depot is a mile away . No big deal , but just odd , id usually get a delivery note through the door , then collect at depot . Was a pricy enough item also .

When a foreign postal service "hands it over" it just means it has finished processing in that country.

It's not saying it has left that country. It waits for space on scheduled air flights. If many of these are cancelled a backlog builds up in the holding area.

Quite a few Germany- Ireland flights were cancelled in the past few weeks.

whiterebel · 31-01-2022 11:49PM

A parcel sent last Tuesday from Cork to Dublin still isn’t delivered.

There are plenty of cases of An Post scanning an item when it arrives in Ireland and not delivering it for days/weeks.

Deutsche Post DHL parcels come by truck from Germany to Ireland so flights are a moot point.

Depends on the service requested. Standard international mail from Germany comes on aircraft.

I've had this happen before, an post just leaving an amazon package on doorstep, and no joke I live on the same road as the collection depot!

So usually they just post the 'we missed you' slip through the door. So I contacted an post about it, they told the depot manager apprently, and then the next package I received had "do not leave" written with pen on it.. so they obviously had to tell the post man he can't leave packages on doorsteps.. I'd recommend contact an post if you want and they'll tell the manager

SouthNorth · 01-02-2022 06:50PM

Happy to report no delays my neck of woods. Package delivered today a day after entering network from abroad.

The sender marked it as "next day delivery". That was OK, but AnPost send it twice to the wrong delivery office. Btw. I am from a village near Cork.

I expect the parcel tomorrow in Tallowbridge and the next day in Youghal. Day after in Bandon. And then returned to the sender as not able to deliver. 🙄

OwlsZat · 23-02-2022 10:35AM

I had an international airmail parcel coming from London to Dublin. Was sent on a Thursday and rang on the Tuesday when it hadn't moved. Found out it was put into "storage" on arrival to Dublin as they didn't have the capacity to sort all the mail. An post very broken atm.

Cookiee · 25-02-2022 10:30AM

Anyone have post they've sent stuck at "your post has been accepted in" sent a registered letter from dublin to Dublin at the post office and it still says it's at the post office, no further updates. Anyone experience this? What ended up happening?

WestWicklow1 · 27-02-2022 06:52PM

A small unregistered package sent from Wicklow to Ballyvourney, Cork on 21/12/2021 arrived on Friday 25/02/2022 !!!

monkeyactive · 03-03-2022 05:41PM

I had something posted to me airmail from Holland. Just a letter with stamps on it. Been told it could take up to 25 working days. Does that sound right ?

archfi · 09-03-2022 09:34AM

I've had this multiple times and I'm exhausted by it and the lies from An Post staff.

I live in an apartment complex and they will not fulfil their contract on anything over the size of a standard envelope and even then if it is registered/express signature post, it will not be delivered.

Excuses:

The intercom system isn't available - correct, but each apt has a door which can be knocked at. This is no different than delivery person walking up and down pathways into each individual house on a road plus there are lifts in every building to every floor.
They're under no obligation to phone customer to say they are there (if parcel etc) - which is what every other courier company does and would be a simple solution for the customers who are paying for delivery
We tried delivery you weren't there - no, you're lying.

I asked if the postman/woman actually brings the item with them while attempting delivery and was told yes 100%. This is a lie. The post never leaves the district sorting office but the pre-filled 'attempted' notes do. So, even if you get the note at 9am in the morning and you travel to sorting office rightaway they will not release the item as the lie needs to be kept up 'the delivery person won't be back till 2pm or 5pm'. The item never leaves the sorting office, they just can't release it because as I say, they employ a lie to begin with.

They do send a text to change delivery options to a local collection point (Spar in my instance) which worked once or twice but not for months (and I know very large items will never be redirected). 'Must be a glitch' I'm told.

I've complained to An Post HQ multiple times but nothing is ever resolved. I've contacted Amazon multiple times and nothing can be done I'm told because of the contract they have and it's automated. I cannot escape An Post as even any items which I pay DHL to deliver for example from abroad, inevitably end up with An Post once they hit Ireland - another 'contract' which An Post milk but never deliver.

Collecting from the local sorting office costs me approx 2 hours of my time and bus fares.

Every single other courier company, yse including Fastway (!), deliver the item I have paid delivery charges on.

I absolutely despise An Post.

Sorry WestWicklow1, I actually was referring to Cookiee's post above, but was on the mobile so somehow managed to mess up the post. Thanks for the reply though. 👍️
