Business postage Ireland

• Pre-Sort entry volume is 10,000
• Terms depend on product and preparation

Ceadunas licence

Ceadunas lets large-volume senders use prepaid posting under licence instead of stamping or franking each item. It is built for repeat operational mail, not one-off personal post.

Small business parcels

For SME parcels, compare An Post Click & Post, Advantage Card rates, prepaid bags or boxes, returns handling and courier alternatives.

Prepaid labels and marketplaces

Shops selling through Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Depop or Vinted need a clear label workflow. Decide whether labels are generated by the marketplace, bought through An Post Click & Post, or printed through shipping software.

• Use marketplace labels when the order requires them
• Use Click & Post for low-volume manual parcels
• Move to software or carrier accounts when manual labels slow fulfilment

Operational checklist

Track item mix, average weight, returns volume, international share, customs fields, and support queries. Those operational costs can matter as much as the headline postage price.

Quote request

Regular senders should compare business parcel rates, drop-off versus collection, tracking, returns labels, customs support and platform integrations before choosing a provider.

• Under 20 parcels a month: Click & Post may be enough
• 20-200 parcels a month: compare brokers and carrier accounts
