You can track all registered posts which is handled by An Post through their website and their tracking accuracy has improved as the service has developed since its founding in the 1980s. However, tracking using the An Post website is not advisable when it comes to international parcel tracking as often parcels will be handed over to other couriers or logistics companies when on their way into and out of Ireland.

To track An Post parcels worldwide, particularly when using the An Post EMS service, using the multi-tracking platform Ship24 is your best bet. From the Ship24 website, you can find all your An Post tracking needs with just your An Post tracking number.

All An Post EMS parcels are given an individual tracking ID before they are shipped in order to help buyers and sellers track parcels. Usually, An Post EMS codes will have 10 to 15 letters and numbers, with variations of both within the total number of characters. Although these numbers will change as per the origin and destination of a package, the good news is you don't need to be an expert to track your parcel. In fact, using Ship24 you don't even need to change where you track your parcel as it changes hands or countries on the way to its final destination.

All tracking for An Post EMS can be done via the Ship24 global tracking website, just by copying and pasting the tracking code you receive into the website. This can be done instantly, as soon as you have it, and you will begin to get step-by-step updates on your parcel as it progresses along its international route.

An Post tracking number (sometimes called a tracking ID or code) can start with any of the following capital letters: R, A, E, V, C, L, and usually ends with IE (that stands for Ireland).

Also in the An Post tracking code but in between the capital letters, you will typically find 9 numbers. An example of how a tracking number from this company would look like can be RA 123 456 789 IE.

Once you have this tracking code, you will be able to use the An Post tracking international service to know where your package or parcel is at any time you want. However, this can only be guaranteed when the parcel is being handled by An Post and buyers and sellers using international postal services should go to Ship24 to utilize global order tracking for An Post packages.

Ship24 scans thousands of different couriers and shops to make sure you know the current location and status of where your package is, anywhere in the world. No matter who will scan it, uploads, and update the status and location of your package, Ship24 will be able to find that information just by using your tracking code and deliver it to you as close to real-time as possible.
