    I'd only use on the couriers. Put your details into the website (box size, weight, where its going) and they'll all give you a quote (DHL, Fedex etc)

    As Dodge recommends, use a courier.

    With An Post the maximum you can insure any item for is €325 euros, so for a €3,000 euro dress a courier is really your only option. I don't know if a courier will insure an item for €3,000 though.

    And use registered post, don't even consider using standard post for such a valuable item. With couriers, you get a tracking number anyway.

    as Dodge said use a courier, but most couriers charge a premium for the insurance (usually 1-2% of the value) i would advise to call them to get quotes rather than use the websites to make sure they are giving you the full price.
