An Post Click & Post guide

What Click & Post does

The service lets you price supported mail online and create the postage documentation required for the chosen route. Available services and handover options can vary, so rely on the choices shown during the live checkout.

• Calculate from packed weight and dimensions
• Choose a service before payment
• Save the order confirmation and label

Prepare accurate measurements

Carrier pricing and acceptance are based on the finished package. Include the box, padding and tape in the weight, and measure the longest points without compressing a soft parcel.

• Use a kitchen or parcel scale
• Measure length, width and height
• Round as the checkout instructs rather than guessing down

Labels and printing

Follow the fulfilment option attached to the order. If printing at home, use the full-size, sharp barcode and attach it flat; if a supported print-at-post-office option is offered, bring the specified confirmation.

• Do not shrink or crop the barcode
• Remove or cover old labels
• Keep a spare digital copy until the item is accepted

International contents

For goods going outside the relevant customs area, describe each item plainly, state its real value and origin, and use the correct tariff information when requested. Calling a sale a gift or using vague descriptions can delay or return it.

• Describe actual contents
• Declare the transaction value honestly
• Check restrictions before buying postage

How to get it right

1. Pack first: Finish packing so the weight and external dimensions are real.
2. Enter the route: Choose the destination and describe the item type and contents accurately.
3. Select the service: Compare the displayed speed, tracking and handover choices before paying.
4. Label and hand over: Use the supplied label instructions and retain acceptance or tracking evidence.
