Waiting over 4 weeks for an item

Waiting over 4 weeks for an item. I paid Anpost the Customs charges Vat and the Hidden Anpost Admin fee for a small peace of ribbon for a medal to be delivered from UK. I've been WhatsApping them Phoned. Emails. Still no ribbon. Answers from Anpost is to call the UK..
Why the person sent me the item that i paid for. And Anpost have the item but won't do the delivery . It's been lost or stolen and Anpost don't care.
Or won't Refund me the money that they have been paid to do the delivery
Very unprofessional. If you're not able to do this type of the work please let someone Else's do it lots of Very good professional Couriers services out there and don't Charge Hidden Admin fees like Anpost.
And also do what there sopose to do
Deliver the items to the Coustomer.
I would have given Anpost a one star if i could.
Yours a Very Unsatisfied Coustomer

Too much red tape and too expensive

My journey to update my address on An Post Money started about 3 months ago. I rang them to get the change of address form. They told me that I would also need a utility bill. I asked them would a bill from Vodafone Fibre Power Broadband do, and they said yes. At no point in the conversation did they say that I needed photo ID until today when my debit card is out of date and now they tell me. I am changing banks now since I have to go through the account opening process. And they also charge for cash lodgements that the Credit Union don't charge for. My advice is stay way clear of them.

Once again they lied and said they…

Once again they lied and said they tried to deliver my item with no attempt at all. It's so frustrating. Every time I see that an ecomm site is using AnPost as courier I regret buying from them. So, again...I never choose them as a consumer, if you have an online shop AVOID HIRING THEM AS YOUR COURIERS AT ALL COSTS!!

Horrible service.

Horrible service.

They lost my package worth €150 and did not reply to my enquiries for six months. When they finally responded, they told me that no further investigation could be carried out because more than six months had already passed.

Truly amazing!

The customer service never respond

The customer service never respond. I made an online purchase in England, and the seller use Anpost service based on the cost. I received Anpost email asking paying for VAT. But I am in US and there should be no VAT applied, I thought it might be tariff. So, I send email to their customer service to clarify what I am being asked to pay and how do they calculate the amount I need to pay. Coz there is absolutely no transparency, I send them 3 emails and never got replied. Instead, they keep sending me email and ask me to pay for the VAT every single day. Their customer service does not exist and How can I trust my parcel to be delivered by this poor service?

Hi Philip,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.
We appreciate how concerning it must have been to receive a customs charge without a clear explanation, particularly when you believed no VAT should apply. We also understand how disappointing it is to feel that your queries have gone unanswered while continuing to receive payment reminders.
We'd like the opportunity to review this further for you. Please reply to our request for further information through our support channels and we'll ensure your case is investigated as quickly as possible.

I have always given An Post 5 star…

I have always given An Post 5 star reviews
I have been trying to track parcel due last Tuesday.
Yesterday they left 2 valuable parcels outside my front gate. Upon enquiry their online bot informed me rudely that an Post is not insured to deliver past first entry point to a property. This means that all letters going forward will be thrown on the lane.
None of their online services or telephone numbers are functioning. Any reasonable person can understand busy periods and delays and I do too.
However a policy to throw deliveries on a public lane in a very rural area is OTT.

There is no excuse for shutting the public out completely when this type of bombshell is dropped without prior warning. I have emailed their chief executive complaining about a bot going rogue, or is it?
Is this really their new policy? I don't know.
I had to lift one quite heavy box from lane to my house, I hurt my back.
My package is still missing.
This country has no respect for it's citizens. Technology failing massively.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are especially sorry to read this, given your long history of supporting An Post and leaving us positive reviews in the past.
We completely understand how upsetting and frustrating this situation must be. Not only are you dealing with a missing parcel, but you were also left concerned about the safety of valuable deliveries, struggled to get the information you needed, and were faced with carrying a heavy parcel yourself, which resulted in you hurting your back. That is not the experience we want for any of our customers.
We appreciate that delays can happen from time to time, but we recognise that the lack of clear information and difficulty contacting us has added significantly to your frustration. We are sorry for the worry and inconvenience this has caused.
We would like the opportunity to investigate your concerns further, including the missing parcel and the delivery experience you have described. Please reply to our request for further information through our support channels, and we will ensure your case is reviewed as a priority.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our service.

Custom Charges...

I placed an order from the UK at the end of June. Although my custom charges were extremely high (€27 for just paper cards!) I paid this amount and the An Post delivery charge on the 12th of July. But now my parcel can not be located and An Post are refusing to reimburse my custom charges or even the An Post Delivery Fee. They are holding money for a service they have not provided. According to them I have to apply through the company to issue an enquiry.

Please note that customs charges are applied by Revenue and, once paid, are not retained by An Post. In relation to your item, we understand that an enquiry must be raised by the sender with their postal operator, as they hold the contract for the delivery service and can initiate the appropriate investigation process.
We appreciate that this is not the outcome you were hoping for and apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you require any further assistance from our Customer Services team, please let us know and we will be happy to help where possible.

Package not collected

I’ve booked 3 separate collections for an Oxfam donation bag. All specified a date the package would be collected so I could make sure I’m at home to give the parcel to the driver. No one came to collect the package on any of the dates. I contacted customer service but they were no help. The first time Pamela said she would contact my local depot for me then she just ended the chat. The second time I was told “your local delivery office is busy give it to the end of the week” it’s been 2 weeks and I’m still waiting on the collection.

Hi Lar,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to arrange your schedule around three separate collection dates, only for the collection not to take place.
We are also disappointed to hear that your follow-up contacts with Customer Services did not provide the assistance or updates you expected. We appreciate the time you have taken to highlight these concerns.
We would like the opportunity to review this matter further. Please reply to our request for additional information through our support channels so that we can investigate what happened with the collection requests and seek an update for you.
