I would say, that AnPost employees have a problem with Irish geography...

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. 🙄

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 6:52pm

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

monkeyactive · 03-03-2022 5:41pm

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 ?

Did you ever get a resolution to that? I'm going through something similar at the moment.

Not sure if you're referring to my post. If so, yes, it was delivered today, the 15th

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. 👍️

Hey yeah my post ended up arriving, it was stuck on the same status for a few days but then got moving, even thought it was registered post it took a while

fryup · 16-03-2022 2:19pm

Will there be any home deliveries on friday 18th??

Nope.

Parcels on Saturday though.

mrslancaster · 06-04-2022 7:35pm

Apologies if this was asked earlier in the thread but who is responsible if An Post got a package from a UK seller sent by Royal Mail on 25 Feb, but it's still not delivered to the buyer even after Customs Duty was paid to An Post weeks ago.

Is it up to the seller to refund/replace and then follow up with An Post? Seller says they tracked the package and it arrived in Dublin and they're not responsible. Do An Post refund the C.Duty?

blade1 · 06-04-2022 7:50pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118890668#Comment_118890668

If u didnt receive your goods the seller should refund you.

They can deal with who they used to get reimbursed I think

seamus9 · 12-04-2022 5:47pm

I am awaiting a package being sent from the Netherlands with Post NL. It has been in transit to country of destination (Ireland) for over a week now so I am just wondering is this normal. I had imagined it would take much less than a week for a package to get to Ireland from The Netherlands. I have copied the last tracking updates below. If this is normal would anyone know how much longer I should expect to wait?

05-04-2022 16:59 The item is on transport to the country of destination

02-04-2022 08:19 The item is at the PostNL sorting center

WestWicklow1 · 13-04-2022 9:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118917911#Comment_118917911

Usually two weeks.

bennyx_o · 23-04-2022 6:40pm

Ordered an item from Aliexpress at the end of March. Got a text on Thursday about Customs charges (which I expected) and paid them, no update on the package since. Should I be concerned there's not even a scan saying they have the parcel in D12?

21 April 2022 17:56

Custom charges have been paid. Your item will be processed and delivered to you as soon as possible. Please hold tight while we work through high volumes.

21 April 2022 17:42

Your item is in Ireland. A customs charge has been applied and details have been sent to you. You can pay the fee on our website, or at your local Post Office.

No cause for alarm yet anyway.

Yggr of Asgard · 27-04-2022 9:10am

I must be lucky; I have two parcels that left the export center in Germany on Friday early morning.

Parcel #1 was received in the early hours yesterday in Dublin and Parcel #1 was received late last night. I got the "Your delivery was received by An Post in" and that was it.

No further scans since than until this morning "out for delivery" out here in Cork.

Send from Germany on Thursday and here Wednesday, not the 3-4 days DHL claimed but still not too bad.

ShayNanigan · 28-04-2022 6:58pm

Has anyone recently received a parcel from Eastern Europe (inside EU)? Waiting for one from Slovakia and it left the country 8 days ago. Still no sign in Dublin.

joujoujou · 28-04-2022 10:53pm

^^ Small packet from Poland. Sent on Friday, delivered this morning. :)

ShayNanigan · 30-04-2022 3:04pm

An Post says they've got no record of my small packet. Should take about 7 to 10 working days to arrive from Bratislava so I'm hoping it appears next week...

joujoujou · 30-04-2022 4:18pm

Sure it will. :-)

tobottherobot · 03-05-2022 9:14am

Hi all

Yes I've returned stuff to amazon and it seemily goes into a blackhole in an post and never gets scanned again and goes all quite, usually though if you speak to customer service they'll refund you, because you've done you're part and sent it back! Depends on value of item too. Just speak to customer service, they'll either refund right away or tell you to wait 14 days or so

whiterebel · 10-05-2022 12:20pm

DHL Parcel from Germany arrived into An Post on Sunday night, 8th. Still there on Tuesday 10th

Cookiee · 12-05-2022 9:48am

Recieved a standard domestic letter today May 12th dated April 22nd, god knows the jounry that was on! From cork to Dublin

JP Liz V1 · 17-06-2022 11:13pm

So with An Post letters and packages coming from ROI address to another ROI address taking well over a week, that is a fceking disgrace

Exclamation Marc · 18-06-2022 1:02am

And their tracking has been down for two days.

Srfcsean · 22-06-2022 10:16am

Received post today from Waterford to Waterford sent the 14th arrived today 22nd total shambles , I’m waiting on mail that was sent on Monday 20th so going by this it’s gonna be next week sometime 🤦

VG31 · 23-06-2022 5:55pm

Is anyone else having issues this happening over the last few months: Your post has been sent to the wrong delivery office

I live in Dublin have had packages wrongly sent to Dublin 1, Little Island (Cork) and Waterford so far this year. That's 3 out of a total of 5 tracked packages An Post have delivered to me since April. For all I know it's happening with untracked letters also as some have definitely taken longer than they should have.

Is there something wrong with An Post's automated sorting system? Dublin I would get somewhat, but how do they end up in different counties?

Srfcsean · 28-06-2022 11:04am

still not received 😂😂🤦🤦

yrreg0850 · 05-07-2022 9:23am

cancelled

monkeyactive · 11-07-2022 1:40pm

Folks any idea how long the wait is from paying An Post the VAT and handling Fee for goods ordered from outside EU to An Post delivering.

Paid for my charges on their online portal a week and 3 days ago , received receipt of payment but still waiting on delivery

BohsCeltic · 10-08-2022 3:33pm

I got my post on Monday having paid the customs and admin fee online on Friday morning.

On another note, posted a return to Amazon(Portlaoise) on Thursday morning and it's still there now. Not sure if they have not updated it but normally it's pretty accurate.

ubermick · 29-08-2022 11:30pm

Great stuff, an post. I just had to send in a small pile of original documents over from America (marriage cert, my daughter's birth cert, and my own long form birth cert) to the DFA in Dublin for my daughter's passport application... which is currently sitting with that infamous "Your item departed a transfer airport in DUBLIN, IRELAND" for the last fortnight. Fingers crossed they don't lose it, otherwise I need to order a new birth cert for myself from home, which will take ages, then have to send it all back in again.

Sake!

whiterebel · 29-08-2022 11:34pm

That usually means that it has been handed over to an airline to transport to Ireland, but they haven't updated their tracking. Its probably not in Dublin yet,

ubermick · 30-08-2022 4:15am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119540075#Comment_119540075

Nice one. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for sending it "normal airmail" with tracking. Weird too, when I send Christmas cards and the like they're there in a fortnight, this has been pushing a month and is just an envelope as well. It's like adding the tracking holds it up.

walterking · 30-08-2022 6:12am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119540378#Comment_119540378

Usps are a joke at present in the US, so I suspect their international system is equally a joke.

Can't see this as an anpost issue as that tracking message gives an incorrect indication that it has traveled and processed in the destination country.

All it has done is scanned out of the international hub in the US and sitting in a holding area

Srfcsean · 08-09-2022 10:31am

Have a few parcels stuck in Dublin mail centre , tracking just sez (we have your delivery) hoping it gets sorted soon as I’m waiting for it 🙏

jaffa20 · 22-11-2022 6:48pm

Anybody know how long i should expect to wait for a package shipped from France? It was posted by Colissimo / La Poste and last tracking was on Saturday stating the package was ready to leave France and will be handed to the carrier. Nothing on an post tracking yet even when I change last 2 letter to IE. I think they handle deliveries.

I'm probably being a bit impatient, but would be nice to have it before the weekend.

VG31 · 22-11-2022 8:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119907987#Comment_119907987

Don't change the last two letters to IE, that's not how it works. IE means it has been shipped from (or labelled in) Ireland. Use the original tracking number.

jaffa20 · 22-11-2022 8:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119908435#Comment_119908435

Ok thanks, still not coming up under original tracking. Hopefully will appear tomorrow.

ShayNanigan · 22-11-2022 10:50pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119907987#Comment_119907987

I'm on the same boat as you... Waiting for a package from France, tracking shows it arrived in Dublin yesterday but it's the usual ransom note by An Post, "we've got your mail" and nothing since... Usually it means it will be sorted and delivered the next day but not sure this time. It left France early on Saturday morning. Hopefully we'll both get our packages soon!

jaffa20 · 23-11-2022 12:39am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119909127#Comment_119909127

Oh, at least you have tracking on An Post website. Mine was shipped on Friday and nothing appearing yet for me.

Hopefully we both them by the weekend.

James__10 · 23-11-2022 12:19pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119909546#Comment_119909546

Have you got a an post tracking number yet? My DHL order left Germany on Friday and still no update on the An Post tracking site.

jaffa20 · 23-11-2022 5:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119910526#Comment_119910526

Nope,nothing yet appearing on An Post website with French tracking number ☹️

James__10 · 23-11-2022 7:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119911900#Comment_119911900

Just received my an post tracking number it's been sorted in Portlaoise so hopefully gets delivered tomorrow or Friday.

jaffa20 · 25-11-2022 10:13am

Still nothing updated on tracking for me in last week by Collisimo and nothing on An Post system. I fear it is lost, but will give it another week.

whiterebel · 25-11-2022 11:44am

It took 8 days for a DHL shipment to arrive with me this morning. Thats probably a day or two longer than normal.
