Default Does Mainland UK know where Northern Ireland is?

Jesus wept, you'd think I wanted a parcel sent to Saudi Arabia!

Checking online for a small part for my car, which could be posted via Royal Mail yet companies are looking upto and over £18 for delivery, thats 1/4 of the actually parts cost.

Now I use many delivery companies day in and day out and I know that sending a small parcel to Mainland UK or NI does not cost even half that amount so why try and rip us off?

Agreed.

Assuming it's not a heavy item Royal Mail will send at standard packet rate which is just a few quid.

But some suppliers have a fixation with courier companies and it will be more expensive for them to get to NI.
