Yuss! The GENIUS way to save on online shopping delivery charges

Christmas is a-coming, which of course means love, togetherness and busting a hole in our debit cards with a spot of online shopping.

And talking of online shopping, we’ve all been there: that feeling of blood-run-cold fear when you realise your dream dress doesn’t ship from the UK – even though you’ve committed to it, you’ve imagined yourself as a new woman in The Dress, your life NEEDS this dress.

Noooo!

So of course you desperately try to remember if you know someone living in the UK, in the vain hope you can get it delivered to their gaff.

Well ladies, consider this cruelty a thing of the past with the brilliant new service AddressPal from An Post.

AddressPal basically becomes a UK address for you, so you can get stuff delivered to Ireland. You simply sign up, and AddressPal will post you a card printed with your unique address. You then grab the unique address and pop it into the address form when paying for your item.

Your package is then delivered to your chosen Post Office in three to four working days – for you to collect within five days.

Genius, right?

And if you thought this service was going to cost you an arm and a leg you would be wrong, because all packages under 20kg (and 72cm X 31cm X 25cm) are just €3.50 to deliver.

Oh, and even if the online store does deliver to Ireland, AddressPal is a nifty way to avoid paying the more expensive European or Irish delivery fee. Yeow!
