Click & Post
Click & Post is the hassle-free way for your customers to send back unwanted items. It's an incredibly user-friendly service that makes posting and returning packages even easier.
We believe Click & Post will relieve stress for your small business customers, giving them some valuable time back. Here are some of the service's benefits and features:
Flexible: You can choose to pay for all returns or have the customer pay.
Easy to manage: Customers can print their own labels or have them printed in a post office.
Trackable: Track and trace alerts on deliveries in real time.
Convenient: Customers can choose to have their items collected or drop them off at their nearest post office, parcel locker or selected PostPoint locations.
Quick: Speedy returns through our Express Post service.
Click & Post takes the stress out of posting small and large packages worldwide, with its foolproof step-by-step guide to help users calculate their postage costs. The handy weight guide will help users match everyday household items with weight bands.
As well as the weight guide, An Post also has some top tips for packing and preparing parcels to make sure your package gets to its destination safely and without delay. A return address in the top left-hand corner is essential on every parcel.
Prepaid Returns Label
The traditional and simple returns solution, our prepaid returns label service is:
easy to use – you simply put the label in the parcel on the way out and the customer can use it to return their item if they wish
cost-effective – you only pay for parcels that are returned to you
convenient – customers can return their item at their nearest post office or through any post box.
Click & Collect
Want to make online shopping as easy as possible for your customers? With Click & Collect, you can make sure they don't miss your deliveries when they're out or at work.
The Click & Collect parcel delivery service gives your customers the option of having their shopping delivered to a convenient collection point where they can then pick it up at a time that suits them.
