Parcel up to 10kg for 5,96eur with anPost with Track&Trace number

pancyk

Hi,


Looks like a good deal, one label will cost 5,96eur and that will cover any national parcel up to 10kg -track and trace number is included


the only thing is you have to buy a bulk of 25 - still good deal as there's no expiry date for labels

I got Advantage Card free at my local post office, not a big deal - It's more less like a Tesco Club Card.


This deal is opened to everyone.

Thanks OP. A friend has a small business that sells online and this is very helpful. Every euro counts

Thanks OP. Great find.

Didn't need Advantage Card to purchase.

Can you buy them and send them to people for them to send YOU stuff? If so it's a GREAT offer.

Edit: Is this 100% track and trace? I don't see it mentioned in the product description - although I will admit to frequently suffering from hysterical blindness.

A lot of my parcels are under 2kg. These cost 9 euro & track & trace is included. I'm assuming these are the same thing but for close to half price.
I bought 3 packs. Great price

Are these self printable, or a physical sticker?

Such a shame this was not available years ago, would have been a lifeline for business.

Still not competing with GLS of Fastway for business users.

They are physical ParcelPost green stickers with tracking number, you can send them to others

Can you share some more details/prices ?

A lot depends on volume but getting labels for €4-€5.

They are also currently offering €15 off when you buy a 300 national stamp pack. It says advantage card but all you need to do is add a company name and it automatically allows you to order. I sell a little on Ebay and other platforms and even a small amount definitely does make a difference. I also find it great because I can just post them off and not have to go to a Post Office.
thanks An Post!

Presumably the volume has to be much, much greater than 25? ie the volume needed for this offer.

Cerveza

You would be looking at 100 minimum but you would be beating an post rate at that easy.

You would but very different market - over a 100 versus 25.

This is a great offer for people who only want a small number.

If people are looking for volume offers then its a totally different market.

Been trialing a small business idea so keeping detailed records and just had a quick look
- 31 parcels sent via An Post in 2020. 31 delivered the following day. (Most before 9.30am)

Of deliveries I received An Post the only people that did not leave parcels (in carboard) sitting out in the rain.

Could not agree more. Even at the height of a pandemic, my shipments were only running 1-3 days late. The majority were delivered the next day.

Compared to Royal Mail or Americas UPS, we have a fantastic service. I, for one, am thankful to An Post and its constistency

Cerveza

The courier company I use are next day delivery. Best is to email a few different companies tell them your projected volume and strike a deal on that. An post are grand for the occasional shipment but you could give any length of time in a queue.

Off topic, but where can I get a couple of decent boxes that I can ship stuff to family in. Need to be fairly robust, probably 10kg of stuff in each box.

I've been using these An Post labels for around 3yrs now. Been great for my business with occasional shipments. GLS/Fastway etc. would't quote me for anything due to the sporadic nature of the business.

Bar the balls up by An Post at Christmas it's a great service. 99% of the time it's next day. With the prices dropped again it's a great deal.

i wonder what the weight is stated on the label, I regularly send out 10.5kg parcels and that's with using lighter packaging, if it states 10kg on the label I will be over the threshold, if it doesn't state 10kg on the label I would chance my arm. I have a great pre-order prices with fastway and dpd , but they are notorious for leaving parcels on peoples door ways and items getting wet or nicked! anpost would rarely ever do this
