    Are there any couriers that do next day parcel delivery to the UK? I tried Fastway, who appear to be the only courier with an online facility to book parcels, but as I discovered the next day when it hadn't left the depot it's 72 hours to the UK.

    None of the parcel carriers like Fast Way, GLS, DPD, Nightline offer an overnight service. Best you'l get is 48 hours (Nightline).

    If you need a 24 hour service you have to talk to DHL, TNT, FEDEX or UPS. They operate aircraft ex Ireland into the UK, whereas parcel carriers do it by ferry/road. Obviously you will pay a premium for a 24 hour service.

    48 hours is a happy medium :)

    Thanks!
