    DealExtreme claim they offer free shipping to Ireland. Is that actually the case or do Irish residents get caught for import duties at the door?

    I have used them in the past and they do give you free shipping. If the item you buy is more than €22 (including shipping for for all purchases shipped from outside the EU) in Ireland you have to pay Duty and Vat + handling charge. Customs often require a receipt to determine the value as Chinese shippers routinely put lower prices on the packaging. By the way, it usually takes over a month to receive packages from DX.

    So, are you saying that if I purchase something and it is over €22 I will get free shipping & no import charges or, I will get free shipping but will incur import charges?

    In general, if you purchase something outside the EU that costs €22 or more including shipping you are liable for import charges by Irish customs. DX just happen to offer free shipping on all purchases.
