UK to Ireland
Courier to Ireland
Sending to Ireland from the UK means a sea crossing and, for the Republic, customs paperwork that simply didn't exist before Brexit. Our own drivers collect anywhere in the UK, we coordinate the onward leg through established partners, and we tell you exactly what paperwork your shipment needs — so it's one company from collection to delivery, and you're never left guessing at a customs form.
- UK collection within the hour by our own drivers
- Delivery across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland
- We tell you exactly what customs paperwork is needed
- One point of contact for the whole route
- Documents, parcels, pallets and oversized freight
- Fully tracked and goods-in-transit insured

Where we deliver in Ireland
Compliance & handling
- Republic of Ireland is in the EU, so shipments need a customs declaration and a commercial invoice
- Northern Ireland is part of the UK, so it works differently to the Republic — we confirm what applies to your shipment
- You'll usually need an EORI number (starting GB) for commercial shipments
- Goods need accurate commodity codes, values and descriptions — vague contents cause the delays
- We guide you through what's required and coordinate the route; you or your customs agent file the declaration
- Duty and import VAT may apply at the destination — we'll flag who's expected to pay before it ships

You'll know the price before you book
No hidden fees, no surcharges and no account needed. Here's exactly how a job is priced.
Our rate
Prices include VAT and are based on one-way mileage (collection to delivery). This is our entry rate for a car or small van — larger vehicles are priced higher, and we'll always confirm your exact price before you commit.
Note: Ireland is quoted separately — the rate above covers UK mainland runs only. The Irish leg involves a sea crossing and its own paperwork, so tell us the destination and we’ll price the whole route in one quote.

FAQs
Questions, answered
Can you send a parcel to Ireland?+
Yes — anything from a single urgent parcel to pallets and oversized freight. Our own driver collects it anywhere in the UK and we coordinate the onward leg into Ireland, so you deal with one company rather than handing off to a freight forwarder halfway.
How long does delivery to Ireland take?+
There's a sea crossing involved, so it isn't a same-day run in the way a UK mainland job is. Next-day is typical for most destinations. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we'll confirm honestly what's achievable rather than promising a time we can't hold.
Do I need customs paperwork to send to Ireland?+
For the Republic of Ireland, yes — it's in the EU, so a customs declaration and commercial invoice are needed. We tell you exactly what your shipment requires and coordinate the whole route; the declaration itself is filed by you or your customs agent. Northern Ireland is part of the UK and works differently, and we'll confirm what applies.
Is sending to Northern Ireland the same as the Republic?+
No. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, so a GB to NI movement is not the same as exporting to the Republic of Ireland, which is an EU member state. The requirements differ — tell us the destination and we'll tell you what your shipment needs.
Can you deliver pallets to Ireland?+
Yes — single pallets through to larger consignments, plus oversized items the parcel networks won't carry. Tell us the dimensions and weight and we'll confirm the right vehicle and route.
How much does a courier to Ireland cost?+
Ireland is quoted individually rather than on our UK mainland mileage rate, because the route involves a sea crossing and the paperwork that goes with it. Tell us the collection address, destination and what you're sending, and we'll come back with a price.
What's the most common reason shipments to Ireland get delayed?+
Paperwork, not transport. Vague contents descriptions, a missing EORI number or the wrong commodity code will hold a shipment at the border far longer than any ferry timetable. Getting the documentation right first time is the single biggest thing that keeps it moving.
