To be honest, the registered post one might as well not have tracking last update was Your item was received in the Netherlands on the 26th November.

I'm just surprised the Standard Post letter hasn't been picked up by anything yet for 2 weeks. I'd have thought if it was still in the DMC a phone would pass it at least once a day

What has a phone passing got to do with it? If it's not tracked, there is no barcode label on it. When I send out anything international, I get a message from An Post along the lines that they track it as far as possible, but you may need to track it with the receiving country. I find that works, as it takes a couple of days for An Post tracking to update.
Where did you get the tracking info for the registered post to Nepal?

I assumed it had a air tag or similar in it?

I had a bluetooth tracker in them similar to Air Tag.

With Nepal they don't actually deliver, you have to collect it from the post office. Sometimes they ring you when it arrives but often they don't so the tracker is the only way to know it's ready for collection.

Plus it helps when you get to the correct room which is overflowing with parcels you can sound the noise to speed things up.

An Post how can you have lost a bloody great box ‎60.5 x 37 x 28 cm and yet manage to deliver the other 7 that were part of the order?

8 of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DTVXGGW ordered at the same time before Christmas all got to the Dublin hub at the same time yet one of them disappeared before making it to the local postal distribution centre?

Its no big deal Amazon are saying I can get a refund but no more in stock. One box on its own I can understand but 8 all with the same details on them just seems strange.

It seems deliveries are still all over the place… I'm waiting for a parcel from France, normally should have arrived by now but I guess there are still delays. P.S. Just a tip: You can find the same box at Viking Direct, in case you still need them and no luck with Amazon. A word of warning though, I ordered boxes from them once and they shipped each of them separately… 😂

Mine arrived on Monday with no update to the Amazon tracking. Although I can see now that it went from Dublin to Bantry and then Portlaoise before it finally got to Waterford and my postman.

So thats down to someone not reading the label and throwing it in the wrong basket. Bantry is a total fail how it got there I've no idea but there is an address that the Portlaoise mail center delivers to that is similar to ours but if you read the address correctly there is no reason to get it wrong.

I have the prices from all the Irish resellers for The Really Useful Boxes including Viking Direct and find its well worth waiting for the ones I want to be on offer at Amazon.

I had a friend send me a letter from Dublin to Meath last Wednesday and have yet to receive it. It usually only takes a day.

I've heard it's because of the storm and bank holiday.

Received a letter today from Revenue, dated 4th Feb and arrived today 10th at lunchtime.

Post over the last 18months has been unbelievably unreliable; national letter post taking anything up to a week and registered letters up to 3/4 working days.

I suppose if you hire an ex Marketing Director from eircom/eir as your CEO what can you expect.

Just out of curiosity what date was on the "stamp"?

I have just received 2 letters from my electric supplier dated 2 days apart but have the same franking date.

I think there is a problem with some offices where they frank the mail but don't bother taking it to the postbox. There are at least a couple of insurance companies that will promise that documents will be posted out that day and the fanking date states that but their mail always takes at least 5 days.
