    I posted a letter to Sydney on 7th August from Ireland & it hasn't arrived yet. I definitely had the correct address on it & €1.70 postage. Should I be be getting concerned.

    Yes, you should. It would ordinarily have arrived by now. That's not to say that it won't arrive late, but something seems to have gone amiss, so there's no telling when it may arrive.

    Is there any chance it was overweight or oversize? Did you put your own return address on the envelope?

    It was only an ordinary envelope ....I even checked the cost in the Post Office. Goes to show one wouldn't want to send money in the post!!

    IT can take 4 weeks or more sometimes sending letters from Ireland to Australia.
    Last letter I posted took a little over 4 weeks to arrive from the post date stamp in Australia to arrival day in Dublin. It's shocking.

    Wait another 2 weeks before you start to worry.

    There was never a time when you wanted to send money in the post. That's why the postal order was invented.

    Is your own address on the back? They are very particular about that.

    The letter arrived in Sydney on Friday 23rd. Had been posted in Ireland on 7th. It usually took 8 working days!! I hadn't my address on the back of it but will do in future. A happy ending!!
