Eircode on the package and it still ended up in a different town

  1. Man UPS is so much worse for me

    I was expecting a package one day when it said delivered, a few hours later I rang UPS and said I didn’t receive it, the person on the line said it was dropped into X garage in my town because he couldn’t find the address… it’s like he got into town and said fuck it here’ll do

    The owner of the garage said he was going to drop it up after his shift ended because he didn’t know my number but knew where the address was lol

  2. To be fair to eircodes, you could’ve written anything on the piece of paper in the first panel and, this being Fastway, the other three would still hold true.

  3. Fastway somehow got a license to deliver guns and ammunition ordered ammo online and was shocked to see delivered by fastway

  4. We ended up with something as well. His peripheral vision must be awful cos we were waving him down that it was wrong.

  5. Had a two part delivery via UPS this week. One got delivered. The other ended up in limerick and then they went back to the seller complaining the address was inadequate. Full address with eircode.

  6. Tesco driver called me yesterday because he couldn’t find my house. Read my Eircode to me and it was correct. He said it didn’t bring him to my house. I didn’t question it but I don’t see how that’s possible.

  7. A few years ago, I sent a Christmas gift to a friend in west Kerry. Had the Eircode and everything on the address, and after arriving in Ireland, it got sent to Canada before being sent back to Ireland again and finally arriving about 5 weeks after I shipped it.

  8. Btw there is a box with my apartment number but totally wrong house (and aircode ofc) down on a ground floor. Can I do anything to help deliver it?

  9. Fastways drivers are just people who couldn’t find the local post office to claim Jobseekers. Instead the poor bastards wander around thd country side all day giving random packages to random people.

    Prove me wrong Fastways….

  10. Like a wise man once said; some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

  11. A fastway driver jumped over our locked side gate and started banging on our back door and proceeded to ask about the beware of dog sign on our back gate…. He didn’t even try the front door, has henceforth been known as the mad fastway guy. By the way this wasn’t a one time thing, he’s done this at least three times at this stage.

  12. Im having a similar issue. Ordered a gift over a week again from a Spanish company I ordered from before that have been very reliable with deliveries.

    I paid a bit extra for fast delivery just to be safe. The company sent it to the courier very quickly and promptly. It has since bounced around 5 different towns in Spain and Germany, and landed in dublin 4 days ago.

    Now I got an email saying by package delivery is delayed with no explanation it timeline for getting it.

  13. My eircode generates different addresses depending on the website, some auto fill it to the other side of town!

  14. I’ve had this with a few couriers, imagine being in that line of work and not knowing how to utilize such a useful tool as the eircode finder… There really is no excuse for that type of ignorance 😂

  15. Eircode isn’t fit for purpose. If it’s wrong there’s no mechanism to correct it.

    Mine has a town associated with my address that’s at the other end of the county. ….but yet I can’t have it corrected.

  16. Once called them, and they said the package didn’t have an eircode on the label, hence the mistake.

    Got my package eventually, and it has two labels on, one a duplicate of the first, both correct address, and Eircode visible…

    Lying bastards

  17. You say it arrived elsewhere, so at least you know what happened it. Last (and only) time I used them my stuff passed my door, presumably on the way to the Bermuda triangle. No explanation or backup.
