Like others, I would give zero stars if it was an option. I posted a parcel from Waterford to Cork city centre last Wednesday via registered post (to ensure next day delivery) and I also paid for insurance (it cost me €21.50 in total). I guess Fr. Ted must have been asked to deliver it because it is nothing short of a joke!! I'm a patient person and I do completely understand that An Post are swamped with extra deliveries these days, but I'm now into day 5 of a 1-day delivery and all I'm told is that the package is in the office in Cork since last Thursday/Friday but NO idea whatsoever as to when it will make its way up the road to the delivery address. The tracking info. still shows it in Portlaoise mail centre, so it's anyone's guess as to where it is really. If I had realised the service was going to be this poor I would literally have driven to Cork with it to save the frustration! The petrol cost would have been the same as the postage. Avoid An Post parcel delivery at all costs if you have ANY other option!!
