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

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 🙏

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

jaffa20 · 28-11-2022 09:31PM

Sorted in Dublin mail centre so I guess will be delivered tomorrow or Wednesday. About 7-8 working days. I guess not too bad.

ShayNanigan · 29-11-2022 01:25PM

Mine arrived last week but the tracking still shows it's at the mail centre! 🤣 I had asked An Post on Messenger if they knew where the package was the previous day. They actually answered me after it was delivered that they're sorry it has been delayed in the Mail Centre and that the delay "occurred due to high mail volumes in our network at this time". Well... it did arrive which I'm glad about but the tracking is completely useless!

I have a voicemail from A Post worker that they have a parcel for me in Sligo and can’t deliver it as they can’t locate that address in Sligo.

The address he called out is correct except for it isn’t in Sligo.

I was suspicious as I’m not expecting anything (but I could have lost track) and the call is from a mobile - although I can’t see the “scam” in it.

Do A Post often call customers?

dontmindme · 10-12-2022 03:32AM

Have you a TV licence..?

Atlantic Dawn · 10-12-2022 03:42AM

Is it an actual human voice or computer generated? Is it your actual address but with wrong county?

blade1 · 10-12-2022 04:38AM

Yes it's quite possible the postman could ring you if he has a problem with your delivery but probably only if your phone number was on the parcel he has.

It is a mobile number. When I called I got sent to voicemail saying it was A Post Sligo DM (or DSM).

They called me back.

it is legit anyway - it is a parcel I was expecting but thought was waiting in the office already. It had the wrong post code.

I’m not so bad that a computer voice would fool me. ;)

It was genuine An Post - sender had wrong post code

10-12-2022 11:06AM

Proof if it was ever needed that An Post do indeed use Eircodes. Shove that up your holes Loc8

Jordo1993 · 14-12-2022 01:09PM

has anyone bought any items from the USA in the last number of weeks? I had a package picked up December 4th, parcel had been collected by an outside company awaiting collection by USPS. This has not changed once since, 3 updates on shipping but none suggesting it's left the United States and information on An Post when I enter the tracking number. Anyone else have any issues recently?

aloha4567 · 17-12-2022 05:31PM

Is anyone experiencing delays in receiving letters at the moment? A letter was issued to me last Monday - the 12th and has still not arrived! It is coming from the same county I’m in, is this normal this time of year ?

Louche Lad · 26-12-2022 11:13AM

We in Limerick regularly get Christmas cards from five separate people in the UK, but only one card has arrived this year from them. All of them are reliable, conscientious people.

We have had mail as expected from the US and from Ireland. And we've had parcels from Amazon etc. So it looks as if there's a problem with the Royal Mail.

I'm aware there have been intermittent strikes in the Royal Mail (and other UK services), but I'm surprised so much mail has failed to get through by now (I'd have thought that it would only be delayed by a few days).

Has anyone else had problems with getting mail from the UK recently?

Jim_Hodge · 26-12-2022 11:17AM

Some delays but all expected Christmas cards arrived here over a week ago. It's slower with the strikes, which create backlogs too, but not abysmally so.
