In 2006, the time I really had to send my around 15kg books to US, I used the An Post Book Post service, the cheapest way to send books and I must say that I was impressed.. but probably it was due to the USPS role than An Post.

Secondly during my tenure in Ireland, I dont recall any time I had any issues with An Post.. but I may have been a lucky lad.

I think the Irish postal service is the worst in Europe.

First of all I send a letter to Greece on where I am from. It was an important letter because of a court day. The address was incorrect and they sent it back to me. Once it came to Ireland back it took them 4 months to deliver it back to me. Maybe they dropped it somewhere, but anyway if they could send it back to me on time I would resend another letter but now the time is over and I am waiting for the negative answer. They ruined my court day, I will hate them FOREVER.

A couple of times I went to the post office to collect a parcel and they don’t even ask me an id. I experienced of losing a parcel because somebody else pick it up… who? I don’t know, they don’t know, so 500euro lost.

My mother sent me a parcel and it never arrived. I guess somebody got it before to pass the scan control in the airport. You know for what kind of people I am taking about.

So I dont have a lot of faith in Irish services. I think this country is good only to drink and test yourself how much you can stand racial abuse.

we live a little distance from the road so have a postbox at the gate to facilitate the postperson. Up to recently if there was a package or letter which has to be signed for the postperson would bring it up to the house but not any more. Now we get the form in the box and have to drive 15miles to the postoffice to pick it up. I cannot find out is this the correct procedure or is the postwoman just a lazy cow!
