Wiggle is supposed to be P&P free to ireland. However,At the top there is a choice to change your currency. Leave the prices in Sterling, Have the delivery address as the uk, then change the delivery address to Ireland. You will note that there has been a 10% charge applied! This is a bit sneaky.

I think there was a thread on this a while back. Once they exceed a certain limit of sales to ROI they have to pay Irish Vat, which is a fair bit higher than UK, then the exchange rate.

Someone got an email from them explaining this I think????

Yes, Wiggle charge Irish VAT of 21.5 per cent. UK VAT is 15 per cent.

See this thread for possible explanation

It's looks like combination of VAT applied at Irish rate (which they are obliged to do) but also an issue with the 10% off for baskets over £50 rule.
