Standard Delivery
Ideally a parcel is delivered to you personally. You then confirm the parcel acceptance with your signature on
the handheld scanner of the delivery driver. Another member of your household can also accept your parcel on
your behalf.
What happens if I miss a delivery?
You have a number of options available if you miss a delivery:
- Collect your item by bringing your ‘sorry we missed you notice’ (also called a Docket In Box or DIB notice)
and personal identification, such as a driver’s licence, to your local Delivery Service Unit
- Nominate an agent to collect the item on your behalf. You (the addressee) must sign the ‘sorry we missed
you’ notice and the agent must have this and their own identification in order to collect the item
- Arrange redelivery of the item online
to the
same or an alternative address. Redeliveries can take approximately 3 to 5 working days to be
delivered.
- If you believe that your item should have been delivered, but you have not received a DIB, then it is most
likely that your item is still in transit.
Why is my post late or delayed?
Standard post items are normally delivered by An Post one to two days after posting. Most often, delays occur due
to incomplete, illegible or incorrect addresses.
Other reasons for late or delayed delivery include:
- Items posted after the final collection of the day
- Difficulty accessing the property
If we have left a 'sorry we missed you' notice indicating that delivery was attempted at your address, please
follow the instructions on the notice.
