    It’s a .ie website, surely not much point if they don’t ship to Ireland. Why not ask them?

    Looks like they are drop shipping from Hong Kong

    Free shipping
    BatteryUpgrade.ie offers free shipping for all products in the web shop (this excludes any import costs at customs).
    It is possible that your product is sent directly from our other locations, instead of from stock. The product can be shipped from the Netherlands or Hongkong. In that case, the delivery time is generally 1 - 2 weeks.

    You really have to shrug your shoulders and leave that to the seller to worry about.

    All you can do is make sure you pay in a way so you can get your money back if they don't arrive.

    The fact that they are letting you add them to your basket and pay means that they can ship to Ireland, they must have certs to ship Li Ion batteries by air and loads of companies have this certification.

    The only thing to consider is that if they are defective you can't return them, as no individual can post a Li Ion battery out of Ireland.
