In relation to Postal Operatives checking in on the elderly and vulnerable on their respective delivery routes we have added another piece to this initiative.

Family members of an older or vulnerable person currently cocooning will now be able to request a specific ‘An Post Check-In’ by the local Postal Operative.

Family members can register for the free ‘Request a Check-In’ service by completing the postal address and eircode of the customer on our website at anpost.com/Community-Support and we will take it from there by assigning the request specifically to the delivery route the person lives on.

Also launching today is An Post’s Newspaper Delivery service which will provide same-day delivery to households nationwide Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more about ordering their chosen newspaper through anpost.com or by contacting their chosen national or local newspaper directly by phone. Deliveries will be made free-of-charge by An Post for older and vulnerable customers currently ‘cocooning’.
