An Post used to be quite good at deliveries but not any more unless they are delivering for Amazon. Everyone else seem to be second class customer. They don't deliver and they can't tell you where... See more

AwA business item worth alot of money left sat in warehouse for a full week SO FAR, while another part of same delivery was sent. Then customer service told lie after lie that it would definitely be on plane that day ....then the next day said it's a mistake,and give 48 business hours for a reply . This is not the first time. Also been told standard post and registered post are identical!!
Customer now wants refund as it's not been posted , absolutely disgraceful.
Edit after your reply ** it's all logged with an post ,they just keep saying there is delays after delays ,awful service and will not use your service again. My wife has stopped all business with you going forward

Great service if package was delivered, if it's lost it's a nightmare even if package was insured. Customer service needs 60 days to investigate, which is unaceptable, even if they confirm that package was lost it's imposible to get anythink from them. If you need cancel shipment after item was handed to an post it's inpossible which on current time whit lot of fraud it's a joke.

My name is Erik,and I an using my brothers trustpilot account,If i wanted to leave 0 star I could,first this man man rips the signature machine out of my mother hands agressively because she was struggling to sign on the machine and starts to rudely talk to her and shouts at her and throws a letter at her when my mother was confronting him for dropping the packages on the ground and throwing it like there was nothing in the package like if my mom was an animal for her to pick it up,the package was heavy for hear to carry it in,
He threw my brothers package into his car instead of handing it to him at the door,he has a history of handing deliveries to the wrong people thinking they are our neighbours even though our door is open for him as we are expecting a delivery at home waiting for him,he delivers packages without signature or photos as it is a new an post policy he does not follow the rules,and he literally once signed my brothers package under his name without his permission and marked it as delivered while he was waiting for it all day at home and he talked about it to him then the next day he said he delivered it to a neighbour which they didn't,but actually delivered it the next day late,he also dropped the packages in front of my brother when he was outside the home like the way he did to my mother as well,apparently he does that to my brother and he is done it a lot of times,he left a negative feedback here too and we live at the same address and we both experienced aggressive and unprofessional,unlawful behaviour from the deliver man,never have we experienced this before with another delivery man,he also came around and left on delivery day and left a package that was my brothers at the office,he can't walk due to severee sciatica,he made a complaint to you guys! Twice! And a agent named Sean turned him off the chat halfway through the conversation,the postman also delivered a package that had 5 items in it for 50 euros and they where missing and there was a hole in the package and it looked like somebody opened it,and then a week later after my brother received an email from you guys where you told him that you where going to "investigate",yeah he just delivred a package yesterday and just left it on a neighbours chair and literally anyone could have robbed it,WHILE WE WERE HOME AND WITH THE DOOR OPEN!
I received two packages today for my mother,and me,but and then he delivered mine,the other one later 20 minutes later...is the post man on drugs? my mother lives with us!
Why is he still working here?
Y know I still never said where we are based and you guys told my brother you will "investigate" BUT WHERE? What office,its been longer that a week now! And I still have packages coming soon.

Just a horrendous experience. Spoke to N as a customer service representative after they tracked a parcel for a month. It disappeared off the grid for a month and then reappeared with a return to sender. N effectively said I can't help you hung up the chat and that was it. Absolutely no idea where my daughter's parcel is. They won't talk to me because my name isn't on the the package and they say well, have your daughter talk to us my daughter's three. She won't be doing that.

Shocking bad. An Post in Galway city have forgotten how to knock on doors and deliver parcels. They literally abandon packages on doorsteps in the lashing rain.
They've lost their national hero status and have turned into DPD.

Paying over 20 euro on something you've already paid postage on priced at 58euro but bought in dollars. How is that acceptable. Where does the money go and for what? The whole thing feels like one the scams you are constantly told to avoid because they are run by crooks.

Can finally confirm they’re lying through their teeth. I see the anpost car so I go down in the parking lot. I ask the driver if my parcels are inside, pretends to have a look and says no. I walk away and a minute later I get a notification from Amazon saying delivery attempted.
Hope you lot rot in hell.

At present, I am waiting on 5 parcels to be delivered. Upon contacting An Post's customer service agents, I was advised that my parcels are available to pick up in my local sorting office by email. However, when I presented, they could not locate my items. I have spent the rest of the day back and forth via phone and webchat, speaking to a total of 4 separate agents, trying to locate the parcels to absolutely no avail. No agents could tell me where my parcels are, or when they would be delivered. All have been marked as 'sorted for delivery', one for 6 days now. I urgently require these items and it is unacceptable as a postal service to have such a lack of information where my packages are and when I can expect to receive them. Even the complaints option is through the 'contact us form' which has limited space in which to explain anything. I would recommend avoiding An Post for any postal needs in the future.
Update: one parcel was delivered Saturday 21st March. As of Monday 23rd March, I am still onto customer service about the remaining 4 packages, still no one can tell me when they will be delivered.

Very poor delivery service from An Post. Packages are repeatedly left outside my door without knocking or attempting proper delivery. This is completely unacceptable, as it puts my parcels at risk of being stolen or damaged.
A basic part of the service is to knock or ensure someone is home before leaving a package. This has happened multiple times, which shows a lack of care and professionalism.
I expect much better from a national postal service. This issue needs to be addressed urgently.

2 deliveries in a row lost. Second time agent just shuts the chat down without resolution. What’s the point in having customer service if they don’t serve the customers.

Such bad service in the chat when I tried to get help they told me that my delivery would be posted next day and it’s stuck in portlaoise for days now they just ended the chat when I wasn’t finished my query and all I was getting back was ai responses

Impossible to speak with a HUMAN BEING. Customer service is A.I. dominated and Chat is also useless. No staff dealing with chat or customer enquiries. Attempting to get proof of delivery , impossible at this stage, or so it seems.

This is my third time ordering a recycling collection, the package was not collected the first two times, third time lucky?

Reply from An Post
My package has been stuck at their receiving center for a month now with bi movement, none of their customer support agents know where it is as each one says something completely different. Hardly any communication on the progress, no eta and even the senders aren't getting any info whatsoever. The fact that they somehow even manage to stay in business is a surprise to me, expecting my package to be damaged like others have reported as well if I ever even receive it.

Ordered item has been stalled at Portlaoise inbound parcel sorting office since last Friday. I have been informed by the An Post online chat that it could be next week when I will receive my item. Very frustrating. I have had bad ongoing experiences with An Post postal delays. These people should not be in business. Small wonder An Post have a poor rating on Trustpilot. I would give An Post no stars but gave them one star so I could write this review.

7 working days without ANY mail being delivered to our town at all. This is just nonsense. Since January they reduced it to Mondays and Tuesday for mail being delivered in bulk. They decided to skip that now since last week. What even is this service becoming at this point? Delays going on to 5 months now. 5 months of horrible service without any improvement but a continuous decline is truly not acceptable.
Last time this happened(about 8-9 months ago)I was told by a replacement driver (after 10 days) that our route had a sick driver. If that is the case, TRULY, then this service is even worse than I anticipated. 1 driver missing ruins the experience for everyone for more than 7 working days? Is your system that fragile?
I've been paying extra for other delivery services lately just to avoid this, but unfortunately I cant for basic parcels and letters, that are shipped domestic. At this point I don't even know what to say.

Only a few days away from one month waiting for literally ANY movement on a package. It moved for one day before suffering an "issue with customs". I don't even know if it still exists at this point, if it's going back to the seller, or if it is going to be shipped eventually. I don't even know what continent it's on. No communication, no expedience, no options.
EDIT: I refuse personally to fill out any reference for you on this website. There are hundreds of similar cases, I am only two of them. If you want to communicate, then please reach out to the shipper Pishock again to fix the sheer mountain of orders you have failed to send. This is documented enough that I do not feel it reasonable for you to ask for any more information from me.
