An Post’s delivery rates ‘among worst of any postal service within the EU’

ON-TIME delivery rates by An Post are among the worst of any postal service within the EU, according to a major new survey.

More than a quarter of all mail posted here is not delivered on the following day — with just 72% of deliveries made on time.

Only the postal services in Greece, Latvia and Cyprus have a poorer record on meeting next-day delivery targets. The findings are contained in new research on postal services in Europe, published by the EU statistical office, Eurostat.
