An Post is on course for record parcel volumes in 2025, with over 3m items delivered weekly in the pre-Christmas rush.

Three weeks after the collapse of Fastway, An Post has reiterated it is unlikely to have capacity to handle all of the increased volumes as a result of Fastway falling out of the market. An Post public affairs manager Angus Laverty said the next few weeks are “by far the busiest period of the year for ecommerce parcel deliveries”.
