Why is my An Post tracking not updating?
Tracking can appear stuck for several reasons: the item has not yet been scanned after posting, it is moving between sorting stages with no scan in between, it is held in customs, or it is an international item that has lost visibility after leaving Ireland. Allow one to two working days (longer for international), then contact An Post if there is still no movement. A universal tracker like InstantParcels can sometimes show updates from the receiving carrier that An Post does not display.
