Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We’re very sorry to hear about the ongoing delays you’ve described and understand how frustrating it is to see items repeatedly marked as processing or out for delivery without resolution. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
To allow us to review both deliveries properly and understand what’s causing the delays, we have requested further information to allow us to assist further. Once we have the relevant tracking details, we can look into the status of your items and determine the next steps.
Thank you again for taking the time to raise your concerns. We’d like the opportunity to review this fully and assist you directly.

They returned the parcel to the UK

They returned the parcel to the UK, because of missing some documentation.
TWICE!!! They would not contact me if I didn't contact them after two days of stuck in customs on track and trace, throughout WhatsApp. Awful service and try to rip off the customers!

Hi,
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it is when an item is returned due to customs documentation issues, particularly when this has happened more than once.
Where required customs information is missing or incomplete, items can be returned to the sender, as they cannot be released for onward delivery. We appreciate how disappointing it is when delays occur at this stage and when updates are not as timely or clear as expected.
We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the need to proactively contact us for updates. This has been noted, as we recognise how important clear communication is when an item is held or returned in customs.
If you would like us to review what happened in your specific case, we would ask that you contact us directly with the tracking number and any supporting details so we can look into this further.

Very rude agent and no sign of my parcel!

My parcel seems to have gone missing. I have contacted An Post via their Whatsapp 3 times now and keep getting a generic response from each member of their customer service team saying to wait another few days. Yesterday I was told they would contact the Mail Centre and I would get an email, of course I didn't receive it. Today a Customer Service member called Sean actually closed the conversation midstream with an automated response! I have to say that was what prompted me to write this, I can't believe the rudenesss. All I want to know is where my parcel is or if it is lost, if it is, own up!
Update: Having replied below, I have still heard nothing and Customer Service told me this morning to contact Marks and Spencer who would have a more direct tracking system to my order!! UNBELIEVABLE. I actually can't believe it, it is back on the retailer now.

Dishonest tracking and massive delays

My package has been sitting in the same sorting center since April 9th. To make matters worse, An Post has provided false information to the retailer claiming the item was delivered, while their own tracking and support staff admit it is actually "delayed." This dishonesty has made it impossible to get a refund or a replacement from the seller. Absolute lack of integrity and incompetence at the sorting level.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We’re sorry to hear about the delay you’ve experienced and understand how frustrating it is when a parcel remains in the same location for an extended period.
We appreciate how concerning it is to receive differing information, particularly where delivery status is involved. Tracking updates are generated automatically based on scans at various points in the network, and in some cases these may not immediately reflect exceptions such as delays or internal investigations. We recognise how this lack of clarity can impact communication with the sender and delay resolution.
To allow us to review the scans in question and clarify the current status of your item, we would ask that you provide your tracking number directly. This will enable us to examine the delivery records in more detail and confirm what next steps can be taken.
Thank you for raising this matter. We would like the opportunity to look into it further and assist where possible.

A Guy arrived with a damaged order from amzon and told my partner not to take it. It was obviously chucked into a bin with no regard for the customer. No return or response from amazon either. Trying to fnd the proper chanell on either site is like an endless maze. Cozy cartel springs to mind. Never again will I use an post.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We’re sorry to hear about the condition of the item when it arrived and the frustration this has caused for you and your partner.

As the item was sent by Amazon, any refund or replacement would need to be arranged directly with the sender. However, we would still be happy to review the handling and delivery of the item on our side if you can provide the tracking number and relevant details.
Thank you for raising your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and would like the opportunity to look into this further where possible.

Useless

If I could give minus number then I would. Tracking info unreliable and as far as attempted delivery comment, that is a total lie as I've been at home all day and witnessed the postal van drive straight past my property. This is becoming a weekly occurrence and totally unacceptable. All avenues of contacting An Post give a different reason to why item not delivered including high volume of packages in my area so item recalled. That was excuse given on watsapp. Online chat gave different reasons. The untruths continue. Finally they ask if you'll participate in a survey concerning the service. You couldn't make it up 🙄. Not fit for purpose

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We’re sorry to hear about your ongoing experience and understand how frustrating it is when tracking information does not match what you have seen yourself, particularly when this is happening repeatedly.
We recognise that conflicting explanations across different contact channels can add to that frustration, and this is not the experience we aim to provide. Your feedback regarding the accuracy of tracking updates and the consistency of information given by our teams has been noted and will be reviewed.
To allow us to look into the delivery scans and the specific issues you’ve raised in more detail, we would ask that you provide your tracking number and address details directly. This will enable us to check the delivery records and follow up with the relevant delivery office where appropriate.
We appreciate you raising these concerns and would like the opportunity to review them further and assist where possible.

Do not use An Post for Registered post

I had to send a time-sensitive travel document to Tipperary and chose to use An Post registered post, specifically to ensure tracking and confirmation of delivery. Unfortunately, despite paying for this service, my parcel was sent to Germany instead.
As a result, I missed the submission deadline for my document. It has now been over a month, and I still have no clear information on when, or if, my document will be returned to me. This has been an extremely stressful and frustrating experience.
In hindsight, I very much wish I had used a courier service such as DHL or UPS. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to consider alternative providers.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the distress caused, particularly given that this was a time‑sensitive travel document. We understand how worrying it is not to have clarity in situations like this.
While Registered Post is designed to provide added security and tracking, we appreciate how concerning it is to learn that your item appears to have been misrouted. We regret the impact this has had on you and fully understand your frustration at the lack of clear updates to date.
To allow us to investigate this further and establish the current status of your document, we have requested additional information directly from you.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do appreciate your patience and would like the opportunity to assist you further.

Hi there, thank you for your kind comments about our team. We’re glad to hear you’ve had positive experiences with us over the years.
We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the delivery status on your recent Temu order. We understand how frustrating it is to see a “no answer at the door” notification when you were at home, and we appreciate you highlighting this for us.
If you haven’t already done so, we’d encourage you to contact our Customer Service team so they can review the delivery in more detail or reply to our request for further information so that we can do the same.
Thanks again.

Constant delays and parcels lost but what gets me is that every time I contact the customer service, the agents are beyond rude and careless. Puzzled at how they are allowed to be that brash — is there no quality programme / checks at An Post to see how they speak with customers?

I received a notification of parcel arrival.

I received a notification: 'Go to post office; package available for collection.' I drove the 30 minutes one way, only to find out no parcel is there; it was scanned as delivered, but it is not hers. Come back in a few days; it will be here by then! What nonsense is that? I do not have the time to spare to be driving around all day. Very poor experience.
