Problem with "An Post"

focus 23 · 24-09-2012 6:26pm #1

Alright,So on the 31/8/12 i ordered a backpack from ebay it was shipping from Hong Kong,it is now the 24/9/12 and i still have not got it,i am also waiting on a package that i won about 3 months ago and thats not here aswell as a something i ordered on "Airsoft-Club"
Im very angry with this as this address has allways worked before and iv never had any trouble at all! We changed postman a few weeks ago to a much younger lad but it should still be working! :mad:
Any help here lads?

Goods from Hong Kong would liable for import duty and VAT and may be held in customs

Why are you blaming An Post?

It takes ages for stuff to come from the like of Hong Kong, China and so on.

An Post wont delay at getting to you the problem as stated above is customs/revenue will probably want you to pay some tax.

You need to head down to An Post HQ and ask to speak to someone in authority

You can do that ? Will you change my postman into a younger woman, just to check if mine is still working ?

Is the new postman wearing a shiny new backpack and carrying a new air soft gun?

Is ''backpack'' code for new wife?? Cos I reckon your new postman has run away with your ''backpack''

That's a disgrace op, sure you pay their wages!

Your postman doesn't deliver packages.If you weren't at home when the parcel was delivered a collection notice would have been pushed through the letter box, could someone have taken this?

I dont think anybody took the slip,im pretty much always here but ill wait till the end of this month before doing anything,Nothing from Hong kong has ever taken this long to get to me.
Anyway i had a good laugh reading some of these

I'd hazard a guess most backpacks are made in Asia along with most consumer goods so probably not as big a deal as you try to suggest it is.

If its a customs issue the postman will still bring it AFAIK, you just have to pay the duty and 6euro AnPost handling fee.

Stuff from HK usually takes 2-3 weeks to get here for me.
