The strike came into effect at midnight on Thursday, 01 October.
In a statement, An Post said it "greatly regrets to advise customers not to post any mail items, with immediate effect.
"Due to the withdrawal of labour by staff of IO Systems, we are unable to process mail for delivery to customers."
