    I want to sell a large parcel to a UK seller. It weighs a little below 2.5kg in its box. I checked An Post and they want to charge €35 for it registered!!!

    Are there any other couriers that might be better priced please? I've only ever used An Post out of sheer blind loyalty.

    Thanks for any help! :)

    an post send all parcels by air, so unless it is super urgent, use a standard delivery service such as dpd, gls or fastway.

    What are the dimensions of the parcel. I need the length and the width only.

    I will look something up for you.

    Definately look at the other parcel companies. I am a collection point for GLS and my info says that 14 x 6 parcel - which is 51cm (length + depth), costs about 17 euro to the UK. That's with internet tracking and insurance. Weight does not matter as long as its under 30 kg

    Look at Gls.ie, they may have a collection point near you.
    Failing that. Check out who else is near you, there are other companies around.


    NOTE. I am a Gls collection point, in Dublin, while the poster is in mayo. No accusations of shilling please.
