    Since fitness-superstore.co.uk doesn't deliver to the Republic of Ireland is it possible to use a private delivery service to get the items to my house? This may sound like a silly question but i'm not used to online shopping! Would love to know how to go about this , appreciate it a lot :)

    You can engage one of the usual international carriers (UPS, DHL, FedEx etc.) to pickup a parcel at a given address and deliver it to you but usually you will pay for delivery via the vendor i.e. you order from a seller and he will quote for delivery to Ireland. If you find a vendor who won't deliver to Ireland, you will need to get the weight of what you're proposing to buy and get quotes from the delivery firms to see who will pick it up and deliver to you for the lowest price.

    In case another poster suggests Parcel Motel, their maximum weight is 10 kgs and I suspect you are looking at stuff that will be heavier.

    You're welcome. I seriously doubt that getting that type of stuff (heavy weights) shipped in by the usual couriers will be a runner when you see their prices because virtually all of them ship by air and the cost of flying your stuff in will probably be just too high. That's if they don't refuse outright - almost all of their vans have just a driver so they will have a weight limit that I suspect will be well below what you're looking at.
