    Absolutely savage selection, easily the best I’ve seen online that deliver to Ireland that I’ve seen. If anyone knows of better places please let me know.

    €18.50 charge to deliver to Ireland, however delivery cost was almost wiped out by a €15 discount if I bought what I was looking at.

    Anyone use them?

    Be cautious with customs, I have seen threads where people ordered beer boxes from the EU and were required to pay duty on them and associated fees.
    Will look for them
    Edit, was a few years back but discussed here. Would be good to know if the laws are relaxed now. Note threads per page could be different, might need to search for groupon

    Didn't think so but you would never know what our progressive forward thinking politicians who are under no influence from the vintners association would do. /sarcasm

    Changing the laws to allow circumventing excise duty would not be something the vintners would care about sufficiently more than, oh, the state itself would.

    True, the potential loss of revenue would interest the state more but I could still see the vintners up in arms

    I'm not even sure the state would be allowed change the process. That duty is payable in the destination country (except when personal goods are transported personally) is a European law, not an Irish one.

    Took 4 working days to arrive. No customs issues. Fantastic service... and great beers.
