https://www.independent.ie/news/online-shoppers-using-an-post-virtual-address-service-to-be-hit-with-two-new-charges-39933767.html


CUSTOMERS that use An Post’s virtual address service to buy goods from the UK are to be hit with a two new charges.

Brexit means there will be an administration fee of €3.50 applied to all items, in addition to a service fee of €6.50 for using AddressPal.

The service provides customers with a virtual UK address to allow them to avail of reduced or free delivery charges that many UK retailers offer to UK residents.

Rivals ParcelMotel and Parcel Wizard have already suspended their virtual address services from the UK to Ireland.

The two new charges being imposed by An Post’s AddressPal mean an additional cost of €10 for using the service.

And online shoppers who buy from websites outside of the EU, which now includes Britain, will see their purchases subject to Vat (value added tax) and other customs changes if they cost more than €22.

These charges are likely collected by the online retailer when buying the goods, if they have not been paid.

Asked why it was imposing a total of €10 in new charges, An Post said the Brexit and associated customs changes mean far more handling and administration on every item.

“We’re trying to keep the service going where other providers have ceased their UK address facilities,” a spokesperson said.

The post office company said existing AddressPal UK customers must register a home delivery address on their account for the purpose of paying any charges due.

Some customers currently only have a local post office listed as their delivery address.


A post office delivery address can no longer be used as the customer’s registered address, An Post said.

An Post said it will monitor the impact of new changes on the service over the coming months.

DPD has said it was closing its Parcel Wizard virtual address service.

“Due to Brexit constraints from January 1 2021, all items coming from the UK will be subject to customs rules which may incur duty and possible Vat charges and this will lead to additional administrations costs. Therefore, it will be no longer viable to offer this service post Brexit.”

Parcel Motel suspended its UK virtual address service on December 28 last due to the impact of Brexit.

Parcel Motel had offered online shoppers in the Republic a way to circumvent international shipping restrictions and added costs by allowing them to pay for the use of its virtual address.

This saw packages first shipped to the company’s depot in Newtownabbey in Co Antrim, before being distributed around the country.

Has the bread gone up yet?

I had a little giggle to myself as I walked passed empty shelves where the toilet roll and kitchen roll used to be in Lidl the day before yesterday... and briefly considered setting up a car boot stall in the car park given Mrs. Catcher's foresight in cornering the world market in all things tissue back in March!

London lost a chunk of European stock trading this week. What will it lose next?

When the UK’s Brexit transition agreement with the EU expired this week, some €6 billion ($7 billion) of daily trading in EU stocks left London overnight for markets across the Channel. The question is whether this was a one-time hit or a sign that even bigger chunks of the financial sector will disappear.

Because financial services were largely left out of the Brexit agreement between London and Brussels, exchange operators in the UK can no longer provide trading in EU-listed stocks to European customers from Britain. Companies in the UK capital like London Stock Exchange Group, Cboe, and Aquis Exchange activated their venues for EU-shares on the Continent, where nearly all trading in EU stocks now takes place.

It’s easy to overstate what has happened so far, which is mainly a change in legal designation. UK-based exchange operators have units in places like Paris and Amsterdam for this type of business, but the electronic buying and selling technically still happens in a data center in the UK. (As does the trading for Pan-European exchange Euronext.) Brits lost a dab of tax revenue and some pride, but at this point the country’s financial district is well intact.

“Banks and brokers did a lot of work to make sure they can continue trading as normal,” said Anish Puaar, an analyst at Rosenblatt Securities in London. “Instead of Cboe London it’s Cboe Amsterdam. That’s about it.”

Finance executives, however, are concerned it could be just the beginning.

THERE NOT GONE AWAY YOU KNOW

TUE, 02 FEB, 2021 - 10:50
PAUL HOSFORD POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
Physical checks on animal products at two ports in Northern Ireland have been suspended over concerns for the safety of staff.

The Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture (DAERA) confirmed today that it had suspended Brexit checks on food and animal products at Larne and Belfast. Mid-Antrim Council has withdrawn its staff from Larne port.

A DAERA Spokesperson said: “On the basis of information received on Mon, February 1 and, pending further discussions with the PSNI, DAERA has decided in the interests of the wellbeing of staff to temporarily suspend physical inspections of Products of Animal Origin at Larne and Belfast. The situation will be kept under review and in the meantime full documentary checks will continue to be carried out as usual.”

Safety concerns

A statement from Mid and East Antrim Borough Council said it is "immediately withdrawing its staff from inspection duties at Larne Port" over concerns for their safety and welfare as graffiti has been seen in the area threatening staff and calling for the end of the Northern Protocol.

"It follows an upsurge in sinister and menacing behaviour in recent weeks, including the appearance of graffiti within the local area referencing increasing tensions around the Northern Ireland Protocol and describing Port staff as “targets”.

"Trade unions on behalf of Council members of staff assisting with checks at the Port have raised serious concerns around the safety of staff and have sought reassurance on what measures are in place to keep staff safe."

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor Peter Johnston, said: “We have seen what I would describe as deeply troubling graffiti and a very notable upping of community tensions towards the NI Protocol, particularly in recent days.

The health and wellbeing of our staff is always this Council’s number one priority and that is why the decision has been taken to withdraw them from their work at the Port with immediate effect until we have very real assurances and full confidence that they can go about their duties without fear, threat or concern for their wellbeing
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly condemned the graffiti and said that the protocol prevented a hard border on the island of Ireland.

"The checks are important and this kind of intimidation is completely unacceptable."

Over the weekend, there was condemnation of threatening graffiti in Belfast targeting Tánaiste Leo Varadkar. The message scrawled on a wall in the Belvoir area of south Belfast has since been painted over.
