Complete guide to tracking An Post shipments with Locmyparcel: status, timing, issues, and solutions

To track your package's journey from the sender's location to your doorstep, follow these steps:

1. Identify the tracking number provided in the shipping confirmation.
2. Visit Locmyparcel and paste the code into the “Trace parcel” field.
3. Click “Locate Package” or “Search Shipment.”
4. View the map, event history, and current shipment status: “In Transit,” “In Delivery,” “Delivered,” etc.
5. Also check out information such as assigned carrier, geographic location, and delivery estimate.

Thanks to Locmyparcel, you can skip multiple tracking pages and access all the information directly.

Once you've entered the tracking number into Locmyparcel, you'll be able to see where the package is in its journey. It can be located in:

• The warehouse of origin (before being picked up).
• In international transit (during air or sea transport).
• Subject to customs clearance.
• At a local logistics center in Ireland.
• In delivery by local carrier.

Every movement is recorded through scans and updates that Locmyparcel consolidates into a visual, chronological history.

It's common to see situations where, after obtaining a tracking number, you don't see any changes. The most common causes are:

• The package is labeled but **has not been physically picked up**.
• A **delay in initial scan timing** has occurred.
• The supplier has generated the code but has not yet submitted it to An Post.

In these cases, it's recommended to wait 12 to 24 hours and check Locmyparcel again. If the tracking hasn't been updated after 48 hours, you can contact the sender.

If the delivery person cannot deliver it, the package will be left at the nearest post office. Preservation periods vary depending on the type of shipment:

• Standard domestic shipping: between 5 and 7 days.
• International shipping: 10 to 16 days, depending on country of origin and customs regulations.

If you don't pick up the package within that time frame, it's usually automatically returned to the sender. It's important to act quickly and check your door or mailbox if you live near the drop-off point.

This is one of the first shipment statuses: it indicates that the sender has registered the package, but it has not yet been picked up or scanned by An Post. In this case:

• No transport movements will appear.
• It is not guaranteed that the package has physically entered An Post's system.

Once scanned, the status changes to “In Transit” or similar, reflecting the actual progress of the shipment.

Locmyparcel is designed to track shipments regardless of their origin or destination. This is what happens on an international route:

• The package may change carrier when crossing borders.
• Scans are generated at origin and destination logistics centers.
• The tracking number format may vary and changes automatically in Locmyparcel.

All of this information is consolidated and displayed in a single, intuitive timeline, without the user having to visit multiple systems separately.

This status means the package has left the country of origin and is in transit. Some reasons why it may be stuck:

• The package is in flight or on ship, without intermediate scanning.
• There are delays in logistics centers or customs.

Locmyparcel will always display the last recorded event. If there's no change within 3 days, we recommend contacting the sender or An Post directly.

A package is placed on hold when it requires additional document review, physical inspection, or payment of fees. You can do the following:

• Check your email to see if you've been contacted for information.
• Check Locmyparcel for additional details on the specific reason.
• Contact the sender or the destination country's customs office if more than 48 hours pass without any news.

Then:

• Check if someone else (neighbor, doorman) could have received it.
• Contact An Post customer service, providing the tracking number and exact address.
• Include a screenshot of the Locmyparcel tracking if the status is “Delivered”.

It is recommended to contact us if:

• More than 72 hours have passed since the estimated date with no new events.
• The status shows “Delivered” but it has not arrived.
• An unusual status such as “Held by Customs” is displayed for more than 48 hours.

Before contacting, please prepare the following information:

• Tracking number and order number
• Complete address of the recipient
• Estimated date and follow-up comments

Locmyparcel helps you understand the full history so you can communicate clearly and effectively with An Post or the sender.

🚧 Possible reasons for An Post delays and what to do in each case

An Post is a reliable parcel service, but sometimes package delivery delays can occur due to various factors. It's important to understand the possible causes so you know what to do and what steps to take to resolve any issues with your shipment.

Severe weather, such as intense storms, heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, can significantly impact transportation routes and delivery logistics. This is especially common in rural or hard-to-reach areas.

• What to do: In these cases, the best option is to remain calm and track the status of your package on Locmyparcel. The system will show you real-time updates, although there may be temporary pauses in movement. If the delay lasts more than several days, contact An Post customer service for detailed information about your shipment.

When it comes to packages crossing borders, customs authorities may temporarily detain a shipment to conduct inspections, verify contents, or collect duties and taxes. This may extend delivery time without prior notice.

• What to do: Check your tracking to see if your package is marked “Held by Customs” or similar. In these cases, you may need to provide additional documentation or pay extra fees. Contact An Post customer service or your local customs agency for precise instructions to avoid your package being returned or discarded.

Errors in the delivery address, such as missing information, incorrect names, incorrect postal codes, or a mistaken door number, may prevent the delivery person from successfully delivering the package.

• What to do: Always check the information you provide when placing your order. If you notice an error after sending the package, contact An Post immediately to request a change of address or clarify the information. In some cases, you can also manage this change through Locmyparcel, depending on the status of the shipment.

If the delivery person can't find anyone to accept the package, they can leave a delivery attempt notice or return the package to the local office for the recipient to pick it up in person.

• What to do: Check any notifications left in your mailbox or contact customer service for the pick-up location. If you prefer, request a new delivery at a more convenient time or day, if An Post allows. Some services offer rescheduling options or delivery to alternative locations.

During peak demand periods, such as Christmas, Black Friday, Valentine's Day, or special retail events, package volumes can overwhelm logistics capacity and cause temporary delivery delays.

• What to do: If you're sending or expecting a package during these times, it's a good idea to plan ahead. Check your shipment status regularly on Locmyparcel and prepare for possible delays. An Post generally increases its resources during these times, so most delays are resolved quickly.

Computer system errors, package sorting errors, or logistical difficulties such as staff shortages or delivery vehicle issues can cause processing delays or pauses.

• What to do: If you notice that your package hasn't moved for several days, contact An Post customer service to request an investigation. Always provide your tracking number to expedite processing and obtain accurate information on the location and status of your shipment.

Exceptional situations such as pandemics, border closures, strikes, or legal restrictions may affect normal operations and delay deliveries.

• What to do: Stay informed through official sources and Locmyparcel tracking. If your shipment is affected, check with An Post for alternatives or estimated delivery times.

In very rare cases, packages may be damaged during transit or lost.

• What to do: If your package shows as delivered but you haven't received it, or if you notice damage upon receipt, contact An Post customer service and the seller to initiate a claim. Keep all documentation and photographs of the package to facilitate the process.

Remember that to check the updated status of your package and keep track of every movement in real time, you can use the Locmyparcel search engine. Our service integrates all available information so you don't miss any details about your shipment and can respond quickly to any incident.
