If you have access to an Independent Directory I believe they had vouchers for shipping stuff in Ireland.

taught i would update this a bit further,, haven't had much luck. DHL were looking for €128!! think i would rather drive myself, fed ex wouldn't quote me because it wasn't international, wasn't obviously dealing with someone that didn't have a clue. Most companies would quote me either because i didn't have an account.

an post ?

Posted something from Arklow to Dublin toda as a guide....


4.5 Kg

Insured for up to 320 Euro

17 Euro and some cent

would have been about 14 without the insurance and just get delivery receipt , no signature with the 14 euro option also

Davy

but the cubic kg comes out at 66kg, i taught they take 30kg max?

the actual weight of my parcel is only about 2 kg

Parcel

The Parcel rate of postage caters for items up to the following size dimensions and is subject to a physical & dimensional weight limit of 20kg.

Dimensions
Maximum dimensions:
Length: 1.5 metres
Length: + Girth 3 metres

To calculate the Girth: 2 x (Depth + Width)

Weight
The maximum weight limit per item is 20kg.

Sometimes, large items with a light overall weight - such as a box of pillows - can be charged according to their Dimensional Weight. This reflects the additional cost of transporting light but sizeable items. It is recommended that you calculate the Dimensional Weight for every shipment that you send, then compare this to its actual weight. The greater weight of the two is used to work out the price that we charge you.

To calculate the Dimensional Weight:
(L x W x D) / 6,000

L = Length in centimetres
W = Width in centimetres
D = Depth in centimetres

Example:
A 10kg item, which is 62cm long, 49cm in width and 39cm in depth will have a Dimensional Weight of:

(62x49x39)/6000 = 19.75 which is rounded up to 20 giving you a Dimensional weight of 20kg

GLS via any of the GLS parcel shops (one at Heuston Station + Connolly station also @ GLS in Knockmitten Dublin 12 near Parkwest) - cost €16 for that size. http://www.gls-ireland.com/en/shop/preisklassen.php3

With all courier deliveries make sure daytime contact number is on the parcel, otherwise there can be delays in delivery.

Try interlink, now known as dpd
Once had to post something similar to your size/weight etc from waterford to dublin and cost 20 euro. They had it the following day aswell. Would definitely recommend them.
