Send parcel to Ireland

Since Ireland is a EU member state, the country follows standard regulations for weight that are common in other European countries as well. Typically the limit is either 30 kilograms or 50 kilograms maximum, to send a parcel to Ireland.

It's not uncommon for people to be sending something that weighs more than what regulation allows.
So, what can you do in this case?

An alternative that we always suggest to clients is to split the parcel in multiple parts in order to not violate the rules.

For example, your item weighs around 100 kilograms. A solution would be to split them into 4 parts, with three weighing around 30 kilograms and one around 10 kilograms. This way you'll stay within the limit.

Yes they are. By standard, we offer a free insurance of €100 for every parcel shipped to Ireland. Of course, sometimes people send valuables in their parcels, which equate to a sum far beyond that. In that case, we strongly recommend purchasing additional insurance from us, just to be safe.

Regulations for EU members

Since Ireland is an EU member state, the standard shipping rules apply. This means that parcels coming from other EU countries to Ireland are exempt from any special customs duty.

Regulations for shipments from the UK and other European countries

As you probably already know, Brexit finally took place at the end of 2020, which means that from the 1st of January 2021 trade relationships between the UK and Ireland have changed as well. While the EU-UK trade deal that is coming up promises more simple trade, since the start of 2021 imports from the UK are treated as those who came from a foreign jurisdiction. This means that additional customs paperwork will be necessary.

Prices depend on the offer that you choose on our website from one of our partners.

Naturally, cheaper offers could take a bit more time to get delivered, but they're a great way to ship if you're looking for a cheaper option. Express deliveries, of course, will cost a bit more.

Shipping prices start from €11.99

Yes you can. We offer a simple system on your website to track your shipment from anywhere around the world. In order to check the status of your parcel, simply enter the order number on our website, and you'll see the latest updates.

Common issue with updates

Sometimes you might not see the updated information immediately, which leads to many believing that something has happened. However, this happens quite often.

Here are the reasons why:

• The parcel has not been picked up by the courier yet.
• It has been picked up, but the courier has yet to scan it. Most of our partners use hand scanners to mark each moving parcel. After a scan, the info gets updated on the database. Updates happen within the first 24 hours.

If that's the case, there might indeed be some issues with your shipment. Contact our support team as soon as possible.

For the most part, the delivery time depends on the offer you've chosen from one of our courier partners and what they promise. If you're in no hurry to get your goods delivered, a cheaper option is better in this case, however, for urgent deliveries, express options are your best bet.

For shipments to major Irish cities, companies may even offer bargain deals which will get a fast and cheap deal at the same time, so you might be pleasantly surprised in this case.

On average it takes 1-3 days to successfully send a parcel to Ireland

This also makes Ireland a popular destination for both imports and experts of parcels, a trend which will continue to the future for sure.
