How do you mess up this badly?

First, a little context for how bad this issue is. I live in a gated apartment complex with a concierge that has 6 individual builds called 'cores'. When we get deliveries, the drivers tend to leave them in the appropriate core on the ground floor near the elevator.

Across the road, there is another complex with a similar appearance and a very similar name so we all know that mistakes are bound to happen sometimes.

I get that, but our postman goes above and beyond to fail apparently. I got a buzz through on the intercom on Friday and I watch through the camera feed to see him ticking something on a clipboard before leaving the door without delivering anything. We've had this issue before where he goes around the six cores and dumps all the deliveries into one core rather than actually delivering them individually.

This is already a nuisance as my keys don't work for the other buildings. I had to call around our shared Whatsapp group to even get my delivery.

But this time, after he confirmed where I lived and rang the doorbell, he decided to muddle my parcel in with those going to the other building! I wouldn't have a problem with his delivery 'method' if it actually worked and didn't cause trouble, but it's so unbelievably lazy and means I have to take huge time out of my day to even find my parcel! Even more annoyingly, I couldn't message the Whatsapp group even if it WAS in another core because it was a gift for my girlfriend and she is also in the group! I ordered it specifically for a day she wouldn't be in the house but that plan was spoiled by this idiot of a mailman.

What is the point of being a delivery company if you can't do the one thing we're paying for?

Hi Enzo, thank you for taking the time to explain what’s been happening, and I’m genuinely very sorry for the repeated difficulties you’ve faced with your deliveries.

You should be able to rely on your parcel being delivered to the correct core within your complex, and the behaviour you’ve described is absolutely not the level of service you should expect.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Not happy

I ordered a product from amazon and somehow I was informed An Post would be delivering.When out for delivery i stayed in to recieve my package but got a message to say delivery attempted while I was in and no attempt according to my doorbell camera.It took me nearly 45 mins to get through to customer service and was told they had an issue with finishing the run.Being dishonest about the status of one's order is not right.Customers have a life too.Never had an issue like this before with amazons own service.

If I’m being honest

If I’m being honest, this is one of the worst delivery service ever. They said my parcel is out for delivery, the post man came to drop it at a nearest collection point without alerting me or even saying it’s ready for collection what so ever, I had to go out and get it myself . Absolutely bad behaviour from the post man

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m very sorry to hear what happened.
Your parcel should not be redirected to a collection point without any notification, and you should always be made aware when an item is ready for collection. I understand how frustrating this must have been.
We have requested further information to allow us to assist further and ensure this is resolved.

An Post has honestly been the worst…

An Post has honestly been the worst delivery experience for me. I live on Cabra Road in Dublin 7, and I have *never* successfully received a parcel at my door, even when I am at home.

Every time I order something online, I pay a €5–€6 delivery fee. Yet instead of actually delivering the parcel, the An Post delivery person leaves a letter and I have to travel 1–2 km to the depot to collect it myself??

What makes it more frustrating is that they have our phone numbers for delivery, but they never call. There’s also a doorbell, yet it’s never rung. I’ve even seen delivery drivers on my street walking up to doors with pre-filled “missed delivery” letters, not even attempting to carry the parcels or ring the bell.

And the most annoying part? After I go to the depot and collect the parcel myself, I get an email saying: “We have successfully delivered your item.”

It’s incredibly frustrating to pay for a delivery service that simply doesn’t attempt to deliver. I just wish the service was more reliable and that genuine delivery attempts were actually made.

Best ot of the worse

Great service and great delivery in hell.
It so simple just give a call or a message to open the door or ask someone else to open it, but no, instead they just throw a latter and then you need go to the other end of the town to collect.

Package not delivered after 1 month

Ordered a parcel and paid Express shipping fees on 03.02.26. Sender said it would be delivered in 1-2 working days. Package has still not been delivered as of today 02.03.26, despite numerous chats with customer service. Only today have i been told that it cannot be delivered due to an 'incorrect address' and will be returned to sender. How has it taken a whole month for them to figure that out? Customer service said they would email me with updates and I did not receive a single email from them, I had to chase them for a response.
