    Does someone know a service that allows to print letters/documents via the internet and post them via AnPost?

    Loads of providers in the UK and the Continent but with postal delays that just takes too long.

    I really don't want to hunt down an open internet cafe to print out a couple of return labels.

    Thanks

    Do you mean you want to upload/email documents, have them printed and then posted to you?

    There was a place in Wicklow I've used before but looks like they're closed now.

    Anywhere else I know of would only do bulk mailing.

    Is this for once off or a recurring thing?

    I'm new in Ireland, and without a printer or many businesses open these days, it would be great to have a service like this. Will be following this thread.

    If no else is providing this service, I might have to order a printer and start my own business!

    There does not seam to be a provider in Ireland.

    I used pingen.com frequently that sends the mail from Switzerland or pixelletter.de that sends from Germany but with the postal delivery times that is not an option at the moment.

    I did look into setting a similar business up but with the market size in Ireland I just don't think it would be profitable as a standalone business - as part of an existing one maybe.

    Anyway if it's just a once off need let me know I can print and post - been doing it for a few mates over lockdown.

    I got a printer in the end (Brother 1210W and it's great), but just saw last night that Wexford Library is providing exactly this kind of service in case it helps anyone else:

    They charge the following:
    • 1€ flat rate service charge
    • A4 Black & White 20c per page (50c for colour)
    • An Post delivery

    And they're quick: "Orders received before 3pm will go in the evening post, getting to you the following business day."

    Seems like a great service overall. If I had known about this before I probably wouldn't have bought the printer.
