An Post are fucking muppets

You, An Post, are fucking muppets. How hard it is to deliver a letter? Not very fucking difficult at all, in fact the address is written right there on the front to make it easy for you, you muppets.

Here’s my problem. I ordered a package on the 7th December, it was shipped from the UK on the 9th then went missing. A replacement package was sent on the 19th and also went missing. Another package ordered on the 15th has also gone missing. On top of that we are receiving mail which is not even addressed to us. We live at 25 Something Estate (the estate with the big sign at the entrance which says Something Estate on it) and received a letter addressed to 25 Someother Road. We put that letter back in the mail and a day later it arrived back here at 25 Something Estate. Muppets! The letter went back in the mail again with a wee message suggesting that the postman/sorting department invest in a new fucking pair of glasses and a map.

Concerning the lost packages I checked the An Post website to see if I could find some information there which might help me. Christ, who the fuck wrote the content for the site? Did you ever check the FAQ? Written by a fucking master muppet it was. Here’s some snippets.

I have a problem with deliveries
If you receive mail one day but no mail the following days (when you are expecting mail), there may be a straightforward explanation. Not everyone receives mail every day. Fucking genius, I tell ya.

My mail is delivered to the wrong address

Problem: Your mail is correctly addressed, but sent to the wrong address
– Solution: If your mail is correctly addressed but is being delivered to one of your neighbours instead, please let us know. We will ensure your local Delivery Services Unit is told about the problem.
That’s a fucking solution?? What if the mail is disappearing altogether?

Problem: Your business mail was sent to someone else
– Solution: If it is inconvenient for you to collect the mail yourself [You expect
me to do your job?], please let us know and we will send somebody to collect it for you. If you couldn’t deliver it right the first time how the fuck will ye ever find it and get it to me?

I emailed Customer Service about tracking down the packages, you think they could offer some help? Not a fucking chance. I’ll head down to the parcel office tomorrow and kick up a fuss, maybe pull out my samurai sword and cut up some postal workers.

  1. The auld sword sounds like a good idea until you remember that they are postal worker and are likely to have automatic weapons at the ready.
    An Post are utter crap.Da Mudder recently shipped a large package from Limerick and it had a hell of a trip.Now her house is 8 miles from Shannon and there are no shortage of US bound flights from there.However her parcel had to go from Limerick to Cork to Dublin to fucking London to New York to Baltimore and finally to me.What the fuck? Over.

  2. And I thought your mail service was excellent!
    I use to write letters to some friends around Ireland and I noticed that when they reply the delivery is very very quick! For istance, if they write a letter on day 1 and post it, the mail is accepted by the postal office in the same day, even if it’s late, then in a day or two the letter is here in my mailbox… I don’t know what to think about it, now…

  3. Devin … I heeded your warning, keep the sword in its sheath but got no result. Next step is to order a surgical strike on their location. Know anyone with a few extra bunker busters? Over.

    Antonio, I guess we’ve all had mixed experiences. I used to think they were ok but am not impressed with them at the moment.

  4. Maca..you wouldn’t believe the stuff I’ve got scattered about the hangar.*Looks under paperwork on desk* Now where did I leave the keys for the cruise missiles?

  5. Quit trying to make me jealous you fecker :)
