About An Post
An Post is Ireland's national postal service, delivering mail and parcels throughout the Republic of Ireland and internationally. Alongside letter and parcel delivery, An Post runs a large retail network of post offices offering postal, financial, and government services. It is a central carrier for Irish e-commerce, handling growing parcel volumes and offering home delivery, post-office collection, and parcel lockers. An Post provides registered and tracked services for items that need proof of delivery, and it connects to the global postal network for international shipments. PackageTrackNow is an independent tracking aggregator and is not affiliated with An Post; use it to follow An Post items alongside shipments from other carriers in a single place.
An Post Services & Delivery Times
An Post provides mail and parcel services within Ireland and abroad:
- Standard Post — everyday letter and parcel delivery within Ireland.
- Registered Post — tracked mail with a signature on delivery and compensation cover.
- Express Post — faster next-business-day domestic delivery.
- Tracked parcel services — trackable domestic and international parcels.
- Parcel lockers and post-office collection — flexible pickup options for recipients.
- International Economy and Priority — worldwide delivery through the global postal network.
Registered and tracked products offer proof of postage and delivery, while standard letter post does not include tracking and is best for non-urgent, low-value mail such as everyday letters and cards.
An Post Tracking Number Format
An Post tracking numbers for registered and international items follow the universal postal S10 format: two letters, nine digits, and the country code IE — for example, RR123456785IE. The leading letters indicate the service, such as RR for registered items. Domestic tracked parcels may use other reference formats provided by the sender or retailer. You will find the number on your posting receipt or dispatch confirmation. Enter it exactly as printed, without spaces. For items sent abroad, the same S10 number continues to be used by the destination country's postal operator once the parcel leaves Ireland.
An Post Delivery Schedule
Within Ireland, An Post standard parcels and mail typically arrive within a couple of business days, with Express Post offering next-day delivery. For items bound for the United States, An Post sends them through its international Priority or Economy services and hands the item to USPS for final delivery after U.S. customs clearance. International transit commonly takes around one to two weeks depending on the service and clearance. Exact timing varies with the destination and customs processing.
Tips for Tracking An Post
- Keep your posting receipt, which shows the tracking number and acts as proof of postage if an item goes missing.
- Track international items on the destination country's postal site once they have arrived and been handed over.
- Allow time for customs clearance on parcels going outside the EU, which can pause tracking for a day or more.
- For registered items, delivery is confirmed by the recipient's signature, so someone should be available to sign.
- Check the sender's email to confirm you have the current tracking number, as retailers sometimes send more than one shipment.
