Shipping policy updated 2022
Shipping Policy’s
All orders (excluding refills, ink and some accessories) are shipped track & trace registered post via Ireland's national postal service which is "An Post"
Pen orders can be tracked at https://www.anpost.com/Post-Parcels/Track/Search
An Post do track the packet in the Irish Republic and provide a signature (An Post are not collecting actual signatures currently inline with Covid -19 safety guidelines) as prof of delivery. An Post track the packet and confirm its arrival in the receiving country for International orders. An Post relies on data from the receiving country's postal service as to delivery progress in that jurisdiction. Irish Pens does not control any part of the postal service process. We will support clients in the event of late delivery. However, we see the same information our clients do when viewing the An Post track and trace web site in the link above.
The process to identify the whereabouts of a packet once posted is controlled by An Post, we will only send a replacement pen when An Post confirms to us that the packet is officially lost, the timing of that process is in the control of An Post, and is totally out of the hands of Irish Pens.
