NI post pickup

    I want to buy something online from UK. It’s not expensive but they don’t and won’t ship to Ireland.

    As I’ll be in Belfast for a night (going on train) soon, I got to thinking there might be some sort of a post office pick up option.

    I’ve had a search online but can’t really find anything so was wondering if anyone here has come across any options?

    You could check if a post office in the area is offering post restante

    Where are you intending to buy the item from?

    Some post offices in NI can be used as Amazon drop off points. They hold for 7 days I think.

    See what options the particular retailer offers it's UK customers. I've just picked up something from a Welsh DPD pick-up point because I was traveling there anyway for the bank holiday weekend.

    If you're staying overnight, could you get it posted to where you'll be staying? Check with the venue first, of course.

    Have you thought about getting it delivered to wherever you are staying in Belfast?
