An Post ‘bullying’ shops with new stamp rules

Shop owners have accused An Post of acting like “corporate bullies” over its recent decision to restrict the sale of stamps to retailers.

RGDATA, the group representing 4,000 family owned grocery stores, said its members were incensed at a recent ban on the sale of stamps in local shops.

Since Mar 1, stamps are only available to shops which agree to install an electronic terminal provided by PostPoint — a subsidiary of An Post.
