    3.95 for the usual 'stay' + 7€ because it was oversized + 7€ for the extra 1000€ insurance, so overall, 17.95€

    Below are the Address Pal oversize charges



    As a post office delivery, it would be 25 euro, as a home delivery if the parcel is over 15kg it would be 12.99 euro, if between 10kg and 15kg - 9.99 euro. https://addresspal.anpost.ie/pricing-sizing .

    would this work for amazon TV orders?

    A lot of amazon tvs only deliver to mainland uk not Northern Ireland so addresspal would be needed. There is a big risk risk that the tv arrives in one piece as addresspal only cover for €40.

    I recently ordered a 55inch €1400 tv via amazon through addresspal and it arrived safely .I was worried when I realised that the order was not fully insured by addresspal and would probably not go this way again due to the risk but tv I was interested was not available through Richer Sounds. Cost me €12.99 home delivery via addresspal.
