Use prepaid labels to price, print and track parcels before drop-off. This guide covers An Post Click & Post, Vinted labels, marketplace selling and when to move to business shipping software.
A prepaid label is bought before drop-off and usually includes the recipient details, service choice and barcode. It is better than stamps for parcels because weight, tracking and customs data can be checked before you leave home.
An Post Click & Post
Click & Post lets Irish senders calculate postage and buy labels online for letters, packets and parcels. It suits occasional sellers and small shops that want to price postage before going to the post office.
Buy online
Print at home where required
Use supported post office or drop-off options
Marketplace labels
Vinted, eBay, Depop and other marketplaces may provide prepaid labels depending on country, carrier and listing settings. If a platform label is not available, buy tracked postage yourself and upload the tracking where the marketplace allows it.
Business label automation
Once a shop is sending regular volume, manual label buying becomes slow. At that point, compare carrier accounts, shipping software, returns labels, customs templates and pickup options.
