Eircode parcel bound for Ireland ends up in Canada

A parcel posted from Britain with Ireland clearly marked as its destination ended up in Canada — leaving the intended recipient to question whether the Eircode he gave in his address may have played a role in the mix-up.

Richie Gardiner, a presenter on Spirit Radio in Co Wicklow, had ordered computer parts from England at the start of August and requested them to be delivered to his work address.

Approximately a month later, when there was no sign of the package, he called the supplier and said it must have been lost. They sent out a replacement via UPS.
