I've always wanted a big package.....

But seriously, DHL are pretty much the best company for that. I use em all the time whe getting stuff sent to my house. Not too sure on price etc.

But give them a call and find out.

DHL are a bit expensive but you get whay you pay for. An post are good but I have never used them for anything that big.

My company uses DHL for international Shipments. They are way over priced and YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Numerous shipments have gone missing.
I sent a letter to london last friday to arrive for a pre 9 delivery today Monday 100euros for a LETTER

We also use First direct for our Inland Shipments. They deliver nationwide NEXTDAY DELIVERY, any size package, even letters. Their rates are ok.
Give them a call on 8300300

Hope thats of some use. DO NOT USE DHL, FedEX are usually Cheaper but pretty bad aswell

First Direct have never let us down

Have you thought about using FASTRACK. Basicly you bring the Package to cork trainstation and hand it in to the FASTRAK office to go on the Dublin train. You will need someone to pick it up from the other end though. I dont know why im sin uch a helpful mood today, i have to walk home in the pissing rain and its ****ing MOnday, ah well. PEACE
