    These guys transport tractors etc from Bristol Docks to Cork, if i remember correctly, the ship leaves Bristol on a Thursday and arrives at Cork onFriday.

    You leave the Tractor at the docks, they drive it on and drive it off at Cork, costs about £200.

    Is that delivered to your door Iver and does the seller supply the pallet and do the strapping?

    Hi, that was just as far as Dublin, I think. Didn't get the thing in the end, as my computer seemed to be 30 seconds behind time, and my attempt at a "last 5 second" sniper bid, misfired! :mad: Anyone got a Lawrence Edwards orKidd sliding table saw bench for sale?

    Hi Pinky123,
    Did you get sorted with delivery of the machine?
    I live near Co. Fermanagh, and I have found that if I can use a Northern Postcode as a delivery point, then Palletline will bring a pallet from beside Reading, Hampshire, to Derrylin, Fermanagh for £109.20.
    Thats £91 plus the vat at £18.20
    Not suitable if you live in Linerick or Cork, i know, but may be of help to some on here.

    First of all they don't have a clue about locations in Ireland, it might as well be on the far side of the moon, the lack of post codes is also a big problem for them.
    I get a few bits now and again from a UK supplier who won't ship to Ireland due to lack of postcodes, however if I buy them off his German ebay site he has no problem delivering them to me from the UK.
    I've noticed recently that a lot of UK ebay sellers posting "may not post to Ireland" on their adds.

    I emailed palletline about ROI address delivery, and got this back this morning.

    Thank you for contacting us via the Palletline.co.uk website.
