how long does it take for a package to reach ireland from the uk?

CorkMan

I am tracking it online and the sellers dropped it off at 15:23 today, and it left depot at 15:55 today. When should it arrive in ireland?

Depends where you live (Rural/city) and which carrier is shipping it. Usually it takes 48hrs or so.

Id expect it Friday or Monday at the latest.

Deliverance

Usually delivery companies such as DHL/UPS/etc... do their deliveries in the morning ( 8-1 ) and then their collections in the afternoon ( 1 - 6 ).

So chances are if the time says after 1 your not getting it until the next morning. It might have been scanned and packed into a van at that time for the van to be ready to go out the next morning. Let us know!

I wonder why you posted this in the Cork City forum?

It varies a bit depending on which courier you use, size of
package, time of year etc. In my experience, 48 hour
delivery takes 2-4 working days. If it was sent on Wednesday,
you may have it by Friday, but there is a good chance you will
have to wait until after the weekend. Keep an eye on the on-line
tracking. Most tracking services show "out for delivery" when the
van leaves the depot on the day of delivery.

I've often received UPS deliveries at about 3pm
