This is a handy little post office as there's not usually long queues. The staff also seem to know…read morethe usual customers by name which is a nice touch although it can make waiting next in a line a bit miffing. But I think old people enjoy having the wee chat about their day which may be the highlight of their day so i just have to be patient before i have to rush off to my next appointment.

Small yet perfectly formed, Parkgate Street Post Office perches at the increasingly busy crossroads…read moreof Parkgate Street and Infirmary Road, adjacent to the Phoenix Park. Despite the shining modern spectacle of the neighboring Courts of Criminal Justice -freshly opened just across the street - the post office itself lends a feeling of timeless local life; stop in to buy stamps for a letter to Australia and end up chatting about the cousin in Perth who you hope to see in the new year. Lines get long on Wednesday afternoons -and be forewarned that this branch of An Post closes for lunch at 1pm on the button, opening again from 2.15pm till 5.30 with final mail pickup at 5.30. Further services available at this location include: Billpay, Courier Services, TV License renewal / purchases, AIB Banking and more.

The guys in here are normally pretty smiley and are a pleasure to deal with. There never seems to be too much of a queue, and if there is, it goes relatively quickly. It's a small post office so they're not massively stocked in envelopes and boxes and the likes, but they have the basic essentials there. One issue is parking - if you are driving, there's none around - you're better off going up to the Prussia St one as it's located within a Tesco, so you can park without fear of the dreaded clampage! They close from 1pm - 2.15pm every week day (I just don't understand why post offices do this - surely, surely they could stagger their lunches to enable people who work 9-5 to use their services?) Anyway, if you do work from 9-5, they do actually open for a half day on a Saturday til 1pm, so all is not lost. Unless you were out the night before... But hey, that's your problem!
