International Shipping from / to Ireland

Shipping to Ireland

Shipping to Ireland is fairly straight forward.  All the major carriers ship there such as UPS, USPS, DHL and Voovit as well as a slew of cargo and freight shipping companies, giving you a lot of choices to pick from when choosing how to ship to Ireland. 

Packaging when shipping to Ireland

You should consult your chosen shipping company when deciding on appropriate packaging when shipping to Ireland.  Smaller parcels will have standardized boxes and envelopes available for use from the shipping company.  If you choose to use your own packaging, just try to adhere to the guidelines for size dimensions put forth by the carriers as well as their weight requirements.  This will not only keep your costs down, but ensure you have more options available for shipping speeds as some time frame may not be available for purchase with over sized or odd shaped items. 

Shipping destinations in Ireland

Waterford and Belview in Southern Ireland are major harbors, but there are many others that accept cargo freight ships given Ireland's vast water line.  In this day and age you can get your shipment to any where throughout the country but larger city destinations will obviously get their packages sooner than those in smaller country towns.  This is because the parcel must get through Customs then be delivered a farther distance away than it was probably sorted which tends to take place in larger cities like Dublin. 

Tracking your shipping to Ireland

You should be able to get a tracking number from your shipping company to help you keep an eye on where your package is in transit.  Most tracking systems are available on line for you to check where your package is and when it gets there.  This offers peace of mind for you the shipper and usually does not cost that much extra in the grand scheme of things.
