Inbound and internal An Post Delays

Yet more of the same ridiculous delays from An Post in Dublin 8. Something posted to me last Wednesday which still hasnt arrived yet stuff from other couriers is arriving with almost no delay.

Waiting on print sent from Australia (economy) April 14th. No tracking so who knows where it is! Anyone else still waiting on stuff from Oz or should I admit defeat at this stage?

Finally arrived on 29/06/20. Posted 14/04/20. Slightly bent but otherwise intact. Just wanted to give an update in case anyone else is also waiting on things from Australia.

I posted birthday card from here on 9th April, arrived in NSW, Aus last week. .

Post to Australia was suspended late March and as of last week still was so it's surprising it got there at all .

Seems we're past the worst of it in terms of Postal delays from the US. Package was shipped from the states with an untrackable USPS number on the 5th of July. Arrived today!

Shipped on 5 July, arrived 8 July is an unacceptable delay? Or, am I misunderstanding your post?

EDIT: Indeed it was my misunderstanding. Whoops.

Ordered a phone from Three on Monday evening - still hasn't arrived in Cork - been sitting in Dublin hub since Wednesday am at 1.47am - surely something like this shouldn't take this long??

Edit* just got an update that it's in Fermoy now! Should have it today! Still took longer than I thought for a national delivery.

Phone is still in Fermoy - has been updated 3 times now with the same message "your delivery has been sorted in" :rolleyes:

Update* phone is now gone to Portlaoise!!! Wtaf!!!

Items thrown in the garden today. Not everyone works from home or is still working from home you numbnuts.

Must be something you are doing as it seems every delivery service and every utility service gives you bad service.

I've yet to see a post from you that is not complaining about a service.

Either you are the unluckiest person about when it comes to service providers or a lot is made up?

Hi,


I ordered something from Amazon to be delivered by An Post.
The tracking claims they attempted delivery on Wednesday, but I don't think they did, because another item I ordered arrived fine, and they didn't leave a note.



When I called them, they told me the parcel has been logged as "re-directed" for some reason, and may be on its way back to Amazon. They won't let me pick it up, and they won't give me an ETA.


The tracking is as follows:

Anyone had similar problems lately?

There might have been an issue with the address on the label. The 2 attempted delivery scans look like they were done in the sorting office.
I've had Amazon stuff with no name on the label.

Really? Did you get it resolved?

I was the postie. Scanned the barcode and was able to phone the person, but had to send stuff back because there wasn't a number available. It happens occasionally.
Item will be returned to Amazon and they'll either re-send it or refund you.
Contact them and let them know what happened. They'll send out another one.

Here's an example from a week ago.

Issue with a parcel with no PMID, everything else fine.

Can anyone shed any light on this? when i got onto an post webchat they just said that the number i gave them wouldn't have further tracking when it got to Ireland.

Ar.rived a month ago tomorrow

There are UPU codes, the S10 standard, and then there are proprietary codes. If yours wasnt in the S10 format then it doesnt work outside the originating network.

The delivery address was Dublin 2 , getting a bit concerned now that they've lost it or something else.

No it was in the right office .

RAVENSDALE ROAD D.S.U., DUBLIN 3 is the delivery office now for Dublin 2 & Dublin 4

An Post seem to have lost four parcels belonging to me in the space of a couple of days. Amazon have refunded me for all of them, which is great, but it's hardly their fault. Absolute joke of a service.

Compared to the private companies An Post is a stellar service. Never had single issue with them. Not once.

The same cannot be said for the likes of DPD, or *shudder* Fastway. Now there's a joke.

I have to agree with you there.

I know there was a bit of delay with An Post during the height of the Covid issue, but not anymore. But that might have been an Amazon issue too, who knows now?

And they are very polite delivery people too.

I have no connection with an Post at all, but seems like most things I order arrive via them on time via the tracking thing.

So it turns out that there was no postman to deliver the post on that day, was told that may arrive on Saturday. On Monday tracking says it's in the sorting office in coolmine, you can't ring them, so I checked with customer service and they say it's definitely in coolmine sorting office. I don't know why it wasn't sent out on the Monday post, so drove to the sorting office, no it's not there. Back to customer service, they will send the coolmine office manager an email. Still nothing to report. An post is a circus.

Same here. I'm waiting on an Amazon.de parcel since Wednesday which was due to be delivered by today. I paid for priority delivery so I will be looking for a refund of shipping costs. Another item from the order was delivered yesterday in an unmarked van. There seems to be no delays with packages small enough to come with the postman.

I'm also waiting on two parcels from Germany which were scanned by An Post on 29 and 30 July. I wonder if they have staff shortages this weekend.
