    Hey Guys

    Im looking to buy some new equipment from the states but the company wont ship to ireland.
    Is there a company that you can ask them to post it to and then that company posts it to you for a small charge?

    Cheers

    Be careful of customs as companies are required to state the value of goods on customs declarations, from which customs and charge 21% VAT + related charges.
