    Is there a set rates per kgs for pick up and delivery for small items or a set few per order for all courier's.

    I've an item maybe 1200mm long x 600mm wide x 160mm and it would be light. Only a few of in weight needing delivered.

    Your post is a bit confusing, I'm not too sure what you're asking. Most couriers charge by dimensional weight.

    https://www.parcel2go.com/ie/ or else contact them individually and explain what you want. They all have rates on their websites.

    Reading it back again it is confusing me also. Apologizes!

    I have an item I want picked up under 10kg and brought from Dublin to Sligo. I was wanting to know does the couriers go pick them up for me and if so, what's the rates.

    That's a very large parcel so it's above the maximum size for some couriers like DPD.

    GLS seems to be the cheapest. They're charging €17.50 for a parcel of that size plus €3.95 for pickup.

    I normally use UPS myself, but they charge by dimensional weight so it costs €40 with them.

    It can be cut down to 600mmx600mm squares. Would this still be classed as large
