Guys, I have a smallish engineering company based in the North West.

A year or so ago we started making our own product and online sales have been good.

I think that we could also sell successfully to Ireland, but the logistics are proving a headache.

The product ships in the UK for £6.70 + VAT through CityLink, but to get it to Ireland seems very costly; the best quotes I've got so far are £16+ to Northern Ireland, and about £30+ to the Republic.

I have a mate over there so I could potentially drive over with a van full and ship from his place, but it really isn't ideal.

Does anyone know of any better shipping solutions??

Thanks

How heavy are the items?

I presume you have checked the small packet rate?

Parcel Farce charge £10.95 to Eire up to 2.00 kgs.

Sort of in the overnight game but I think you'll find that those are pretty much standard costs for those areas. My "trade" costs are about 50% of yours for those areas on a next business day basis on paper before I put my costs on for collection etc.

Hunt around the various suppliers in your area - try these as they are who we generally use for NI. Not sure of the Rep but they may do as well.

Thanks guys, will do some more research... parcel weighs circa 6kg.
