    Hi, does anyone here work for An Post and is familiar with sending letters to the USA?

    I need to send 400 non-document letters up to 100g and was told at the post office that the ordinary CN22 customs label isn't sufficient. Apparently I need to enter all info (recipient's address, customs declaration and my address) through their system online or at the counter. For 400 letters, that's days of work.
    Is that right? The person at the counter didn't sound convincing.

    Will this be in the English ordinary or higher level?

    You're not bringing any value to my question and just wasting your time instead of doing something really good for the community.
    I speak 4 languages and English is not my mother tongue but I reckon you've understood what I've asked for, yet you decided to make unpleasant remarks about the use of your native language.
    How many languages do you speak, if I may ask?

    Ah OP, reply was in jest. I don’t even speak my native language and wouldn’t have guess English wasn’t yours, so fair play to ye. It wasn’t what you asked, but where you asked it. Maybe try your luck here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=144

    Well your post is not really bringing any value to this discussion site, which does nothing good for our digital community. Its a discussion site not just a place to ask a question and then bounce away for a year until you have another question.

    Thanks for joining 3 years ago and only posting 9 times. If you came in more often you would know the theme of 'After Hours'.

    Nobody cares how many languages you can speak especially when you dont contribute and just take.

    Maybe try a different Post Office branch if you dont like the answer you got.

    Bon jovi.

    You asked in After Hours, which by its very nature is the joke section, random crap section of boards. Did you even look for a more relevant forum ?

    If they are going to different addresses then yeah, each one will need a customs form.

    If this is the kind of treatment the OP gets, it's no wonder they aren't active. No need for the character assassination.

    Correct, if I visited the forum more often I would have realised I posted the question in the incorrect category. Apologies for that.
    Having said that, there was no need to post all these unpleasant comments everyone.

    The land of the "céad míle fáilte", eh? Looking at this thread, you wouldn't think so.

    I'm obviously missing something here.
    He posted asking about the price off stamps and you've gone through his posting history and told him he shouldn't ask about the price of stamps because he only has 9 previous posts and he has to have a discussion about the price of stamps rather than ask how much they cost?

    I'm not sure but I see their twitter page is quite active (even at this time of day) - you might have better luck there:
