Just had a parcel delivered by DPD to my neighbour. It was from an Irish shop and had the Eircode. It makes me wonder if the Eircode is incorporated into Sat Nav systems here -- you would think it was foolproof.?:eek:

In my case the missing house name proofed to much for the sorting office and the items returned to their sender.

My local postie was surprised, he said if it had made it down to his office he would have have known where to fo.

So clearly it’s filtered out somewhere.

I've not done much online shopping this year, so far. One frustration I find with Eircode is that sometimes the supplier/shipper doesn't put mine on the address label, even though I always provide it and it's often asked for at the online checkout. I'd prefer if they used it because there are other houses on my street that have the same number. Most of the time stuff gets here fine, but yeah, I dunno why some don't bother sticking it on the label, to aid the delivery.
