Is Leixlip in Naas?

JDxtra

Sounds weird, but is there some legacy item from An Post which says that Leixlip is in Naas?

I live in Leixlip and the reason I ask is that I often recieve post (from Sky Ireland, UPC etc) which states my address as follows:

1 Random Street
Leixlip
Nass
Co. Kildare.

Even though I would have never specified Naas on any setup form or online etc.

Post from these providers is often delayed by a few days. I've asked them to correct it on their systems, yet it remains there for some reason. :eek:

Has anybody else seen this?

Yup seen it all the time and I don't know why either, I recently bought something from apple and I typed in Town: Leixlip
Hit the next button to continue...
Name: XXXXXX XXXXXXXX
Address:XXXXXXXXXX
Naas
Co.Kildare
Every single thing I did it kept putting Naas instead of Leixlip and it wasn't a drop down box. Like An Post goes to Port Laoise Depot and then it goes to the Maynooth Depot so I don't know why it has anything to do with Naas, perhaps they consider every town in Kildare a field apart from Naas?

Same here. My NTL bill comes in as Leixlip, Naas, Co Kildare.

I never said anything to them about Naas when i setup the account, so i'm assuming its something that their system automatically does.

NTL/UPC & Sky, both foreign companies that don't have a clue by the sounds of it.

Cheers - I thought I was going mad!

I wonder where they are getting their info and if it causes a problem for An Post regarding delivery.

It must not. I too get the same on my posts, I even rang one crowd to tell them to remove NAAS from my postal address, and they did - along with Leixlip, Co. Kildare.

Now my address on the bill from that crowd which comes monthly is listed as:

123 My Street
Leixlip


...and it still gets here without issue. I think we are the only Leixlip in Ireland so nothing gets lost sure.

I'd imagine naas is the local distribution office. I'm in clane, and a lot of my post has a mysterious Naas on it too.

Joe Public

It's for the same reason as you used to have Athy, Portlaoise as a valid address on letters.

The reason is because Naas is kildares main town and its also our main sorting office. Im Prosperous, Naas.

Is there not a big office up in maynooth business park?

Varkov

Don't think the one in Maynooth is a sorting office, its for parcels I think.

cgarvey

Those companies use An Post's GeoDirectory, I'd guess, and An Post routing says stuff should go via Naas.

Maynooth is just a local sorting office, AFAIK, with a parcels division as well (used be handled separately by SDS).

Dominos online ordering has me down as ******,LEIXLIP,NAAS.
I was afraid to order at first then i realised that if it doesnt come I dont have to pay

You can verify any Irish address using the An Post tool here: http://address.anpost.ie/precisionaddressanpost/precisionaddresspost.aspx

Requires registration, but is free.

It all went downhill after my father retired and they closed the sorting office in Leixlip.

I too get some post with Naas in the address.
