    The weight should be less than 2kg....that would be €30.25 with An Post's Registered Parcel service. That said, I've been lucky in the past and a couple of different post offices have sent my clubs as a Packet for €15.10. Both services include insurance of €320 I think. The service is ok, it takes about 5 working days.
    If you know anyone with a business and an account with Fastway, talk to them. Fastway have a 3 day service for €15+Vat

    It's laughable really. As Mirrorball says, if you get a friendly person in the post office it'll cost you 15. Otherwise it'll be 30+.

    Laughable really when to send a full set of irons from the UK to Ireland it cost me £6.50.

    That cannot be right...

    I'm being quoted between £25-32 by Royal Mail and ParcelForce for a set of Mizuno irons I'm looking at. Royal Mail and ParcelForce I think was going to be used.

    32.00 euro for an XL package up to 50kg with GLS. Parcel shops dotted all over the place.

    Can you share some detailed info Sifter, like what mail service did you use, were they insured, etc? You can PM if that suits you.

    I've backed out of a few deals because postage on top of the club(s) prices were ridiculous. Being a student can't really push the boat so to speak :pac:

    Every seller like I said has quoted me from £25-32 :(

    Mine were sent through GLS. Just checked the slip and the price was actually £8.

    Signature was required on delivery.
