An Post launches Postbox Drop-off system for Mayo customers
An Post has launched a new Postbox Drop-off system allowing customers to send small parcels from 2,600 postboxes across the country, with 103 drop-off points in Mayo.
An Post has announced a new Postbox Drop-off system which will serve customers across Mayo and the rest of the country.
The new service, which launches today, means customers may now send postage-paid small parcels from 2,600 An Post postboxes across the country. This is done by checking in their parcel via the An Post app and confirming the posting location.
There are 103 drop-off points across Mayo.
Announcing the new facility for customers, Fergal Leamy, CEO of An Post, stated that An Post is focused on innovating for growth and continually finding new ways to make their network work harder for customers.
“Postbox Drop-off is a great example of that: combining the reach and convenience of 2,600 postboxes across Ireland with our digital technology to create a faster, simpler way to send and return parcels.
“E-commerce is changing how people shop and send, and we want An Post to be at the forefront of that change. By reimagining an iconic part of our national infrastructure for the digital age, we can make life easier for customers while creating new opportunities for growth”, he added.
Postbox Drop-off is ideal for small, light shopping returns, gift sending or smaller items sold on marketplaces being sent to a buyer with pre-paid postage labels. Customers now have the option of posting parcels at a local postbox by following simple Postbox Drop-off instructions.
An Post will also commence a major Postbox refurbishment programme across the country in 2027. Conscious of how important postboxes are to a locality’s history and heritage, the company wants them looking their best and ready to serve more customers than ever.
A large number of customer parcels posted with print-at-home, postage-paid labels are small in size, containing small accessories, small books, single garments or other small items which can fit easily into 2,600 of An Post’s 5,300 postboxes country-wide. Participating postboxes in urban and rural locations in every county will be easily identifiable on the An Post App.
Customers without a home-printing facility or wishing to send parcels that don’t fit in a postbox can go to any Post Office or Postpoint agent to have Click & Post or marketplace labels printed and receive a proof of posting receipt.
