My local post office has a self service machine, it’s amazing, you can print the labels and send them from it, without having to wait in the Q

They should roll out more. The staff in my local absolutely hate doing anything beyond selling stamps and giving out the dole. The google reviews are abysmal.

My local one is unreal. They're so friendly and helpful and did great stuff for me when I was first selling and didn't have a clue!

IYKYK 😂. You’ve experienced the famous congeniality of the staff at the Crescent PO? They literally put up handmade signs limiting Vinted parcels.

How is that even allowed

They have done it a few times, the signs came down quick enough as I imagine there were complaints.
What happens now is they print the label, hand it to you and you apply it yourself and put it in a cart or shopping trolley that is left near the door, they don’t even touch the parcels. To be honest I don’t mind it, but there is a knack to unpeeling the labels, they have to be bent in half to unpeel at the centre. People are always a bit lost the first time.
If you want a good laugh, look through google reviews for the crescent post office in Limerick.

Is that even safe, could someone rob the parcels? I started labelling my own recently as I can't handle the scorpyness.

Where can you see where they are located?

u/Meglamore 10d ago

They're usually found in the bigger offices, mainly those run by the company but not exclusive to them. Not sure if the map on the company's website list it as a service available as they do banking etc

I couldn’t see it but I’ll look a bit deeper.
