    Hello,

    I currently send parcels under 30kg with gls around ireland with GLS for around €5.

    However due to weight restrictions in Ireland, I can only send over 30kg parcels by pallet with transland group for €40.

    I can export to UK 30-50kg with GLS for about €15.

    Does anybody know any couriers that will send 30-50kgs within Ireland?

    Thanks
    Gerry

    Why don't you ask GLS if they can do over 30kg packages for your for example for 10-15 euro?

    JMC Vantrans are pretty decent at these over 30kgs but less than pallet lots.

    Fastway used to allow 30kg+ by placing two labels on the parcel. Its a few years since I have used them, might be worth checking.

    DPD also take 30kg+ parcels but at a different rate.

    The limit is for health and safety reasons as most couriers "last mile" are one person with van and standard trolley.

    That's a very good rate. Are you on big volume?
