An Post halts new AddressPal sign-ups, curbing cross-border parcel forwarding

Ireland's national postal operator will stop accepting new customers for its AddressPal parcel-forwarding service, which lets Irish consumers buy from retailers that do not ship directly to Ireland. The move signals a tightening of cross-border e-commerce logistics and may push users to alternative forwarders or direct shipping options. The scope of impact on existing customers and the rationale remain unclear.
