An Post has warned consumers that they could be waiting weeks to receive
parcels posted before Christmas.
The company has said that limits on international flights mean there is
reduced capacity for international letters and parcels on planes.
The company said that many items posted in Ireland during December for
delivery outside the country "are still in transit through airports and sea
ports".
It said that delivery depots across the globe had been hit by Covid-19,
which was also hampering efforts to deliver parcels.
The company expects to be receiving incoming Christmas parcels and letters
throughout all of January.
It assured customers that parcels posted from outside Ireland would be
delivered as soon as they are received by An Post.
However consumers are complaining not just about international parcels and
deliveries.
There are reports of letters being posted from one Dublin address to another
Dublin address taking up to a month to be delivered.
Numerous An Post customers have contacted RTÉ News to report severe delays
in having post delivered within Ireland, with the delays appearing to have
hit not just parcels but letters too.
