Trust my package to go out on a long weekend so won't get it until Tuesday. Saturday deliveries where I live are unheard of

I got a postal notification last night so will probably be delivered Monday. Thanks lads. You can all stop now & takes a few days off Tony.

Thanks Fran. I was just wondering how it's being handled. Regards. Tony.

No problem Fran. I'm sure you're working as fast as possible. Mine will arrive when it arrives but as a matter of interest can I ask what method decides how these are dispatched ? Is it by date ordered, date paid or is it purely random ? Thanks. Tony.

They should send you a card requesting payment but it will usually take a couple of days. I have found that sending An Post a message on Twitter is a good way of contacting them.

So would a lot of Brits at this stage but they just won't admit it

There's one common denominator in the above, well actually there's two, British & Chaos but the first one definitely caused the second on both occasions

Plenty of places along the way for delays

Who said anything about driving to Kilkenny. Its going by An Post Check your local post office in about two years

Its ok, don't worry I'll collect it for you

You can get them here if needed. https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/Digital/Decoder+without+sound/ESU-59659/gb/modell_330091.html They are the recommended non sound decoder for the A class. I ordered two last week & they arrived this morning via UPS. Tony.

Rails send items to Ireland without Vat so you pay the Irish Vat + An Post charge. Tony.

You need to put up some prices as well.

All packages have now arrived except for an unregistered package sent by an IOSS registered company Hattons from Liverpool of Sept 17th. No way of tracking that so no idea where it is in the system. No reason why a package from an IOSS registered company should be held up but we are dealing with An Post here ?

At this stage Dublin 12 Mails Centre might just as well be in outer Mongolia People getting packages without paying any Vat, people paying Vat & not getting their packages & people being told their packages are being sent back when they've already been delivered. They're just making it up as they go along. An Post are getting huge flack from all quarters for their handling of this.

I have now sourced a supply of these. Thank you. Tony.

Things are going from one extreme to the other. The UK retailer sent out a replacement order for the original package which I was told had failed the Customs scan & has been sitting in Dublin since Sept 17th. I paid the charges on this replacement package on Tuesday. This morning a package was delivered but it was the original package which was supposed to be sent back to the UK. I didn't pay any charges at all on this package. It seems An Post are just dealing with the backlog by just delivering the post without checking it at all I can't complain I suppose as it saved me €26 but its still crazy

Just tell them its a sure thing & you were guided from above

Obviously didn't use An Post

Saturday delivery Some can't get delivery from Monday to Friday

Thanks for the info. Tony.

Would this non sound decoder be suitable for the A Class ? ESU 59659 Gauge H0 LokPilot 5 DCC, 21MTC MKL, gauge H0, 0 Tony.

Anything on an alternative chip as Billycan asked ?

You couldn't make this up if you tried. It now appears that the missing package hasn't been scanned at all An Post is like Faulty Towers, without the comedy but with Manuel in charge. Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding to your query This item RN764173586GB appears to be in a clearance delay providing all is ok with the customs data this will be released for delivery Unfortunately, I cannot advise on a clearance date. My advice for now would be to keep an eye on our tracking over the coming days, all tracking will be available on our track&trace when this item is cleared and accepted into our network for processing and delivery. I am sorry for the inconveniences caused and I hope this information was helpful!

You had to spoil it by mentioning An Post didn't you
