An Post has launched a new service, allowing people to drop-off small parcels without going into a post office.

'Postbox Drop-Off' allows customers to send postage-paid small parcels via the An Post app, and confirming the posting location.

With 84 of these drop-off locations in Kildare, An Post says it will reduce congestion in post offices during the busiest time of year.

Customers availing of the service can print and stick the assigned An Post label on their package, use the An Post app to select 'Postbox Drop-off', and find a participating postbox.

The barcode on the prepaid tracked label must be scanned before placing the package in the postbox.

The 'Postbox Drop-off' maximum size dimensions are 240mm x 45mm.

The 84 Kildare locations can be found an the courier's app.

More details can be found here.

The new service comes as the national courier aims to commence a major Postbox refurbishment programme across the country in 2027.
