Post office in Castletroy

biohaiid

Hi, I need to send something for next day delivery. Does anyone know where there's a post office in Castletroy?
I know theres a PO box on campus, but I need to pay for the next day deliver and what not, so..?

In the Superquinn shopping centre, beside the internal entrance to the Medicare pharmacy. It's the site of the old Meteor shop.

SuperQuinn .. How do u get to that?
Is it the city centre bus and get off at round about the Parkway or am I thinking of somewhere different?

Superquinn: Beside the Lodge. Walk out of the lodge, head left and straight through the roundabout, and left at the next roundabout.

Same carpark as the Odeon cinema, and McDonalds

Across the road from Briarfield.

Or, click here, and this is the shopping centre: http://goo.gl/maps/46YZ3
Zoom out to get your bearings.

Been about 6-8 weeks now. Writing was on the wall when the new spar shop opened up by BOI/Delish, especially with the reduced range of products that the University Court spar has been carrying for a long time. The Post Office was pretty much the only reason that Spar was being kept open. Bit of a pity that the shop that was open for the past ~17 years shut.

Ohhh yeah I know it now, Thanks!
Does the bus go that direction?
I dont really feel like walking that far ..

Popoutman

I've no idea if the bus goes nearby, but you'll be faster walking than waiting for the bus

It's less than 15 min walk from the East Gates..

Its closed since we were back anyway I think. That spar used to be one of the top 3 busiest spars in the country until the other one opened apparently.

Getting a bus to superquin is pure lazy. 10 minute walk from the arena through elm park

You might want to consider that not everyone lives near the arena or elm park before you call it lazy.

Bus can drop you off at the Lodge,
Then cross the roundabout and you'll see it straight away,
Can actually jump/step over the "wall" as well to save 30 seconds or so by walking straight ahead when crossing the round-about,
Into the front doors of the shopping centre,
Walk straight, turn right and I think it's the 2nd or 3rd shop on your right then,
It's very green, you'll see it :P

biohaiid

Thanks, I think I know where Im going now.
Does anyone know its opening times?

Chris Martin

I'd assume typical 9-6 hours,
But I'll give a look in next time I'm in there,
Which will be either today or tomorrow.

you need to send something next day delivery yet it takes you over 4 days to find a post office that is within walking distance. you are a very very special person

I only received the documents I had to send for next day delivery today myself.
And I just sent them there now.
Poor me, not so special now.

Castletroy Post Office (in the Superquinn Shoping Centre) is open Mon - Fri 09:00 to 17:30 Mon - Fri and 09:00 to 13:00 on Sat. Unlike when it operated from the old Spar shop location it's now open over lunch which is very handy.

Use the post room on campus. I needed to post off my contract last week and used them. You don't need a stamp, just go in with your letter/ parcel and they will stamp and charge you accordingly.
