Hello
I need to send, 2 parcels tot he same house. In total they are worth £125. One box is 2kg and the other 2.4kg. I have the option of wrapping them both together to make 1 big parcel I guess
Can anyone advise on best way to send. I am looking for !!!!!! of delivery, as its ebay sale
Looking to keep costs low, but buyer is happy to pay £25 for delivery
appreciate some guidance, as the lady in the post office was 'clueless'
Thanks

I suggest 'Parcel Force Over Seas' service at your local Post Office, delivery will take around a week. To Send them as seperate parcels, 2.4kg will be around £19.99 & 2kg around £15.00.
I sent a leather jacket to Ireland a few weeks ago 2.4kg = £19.99
Ireland is 'Overseas'
Northern Ireland is UK postal service.

Northern Ireland have UK postcodes, Southern Ireland have very odd quite brief addresses and no post codes.
As long as paypal say item is 'OK to send' and you use the address they supply you are covered by seller protection with a signature on delivery.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

The Republic of Ireland only have postcodes for certain cities eg Dublin and Galway, and they are just "areas" eg Dublin 1, Dublin 5, etc not like the UK system. HTH.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0 -

Totally unrelated I had a letter the other month that just had Mr and Mrs ++++++ and the name of our county and the letter arrived to us. I was trying to work out if I was impressed or worried that they found me so easily!

LOL. Friends of ours down the road had a similar thing, addressed to "X and Y" (First names), "cottage next to a stream at a crossroads, near XXXX" (name of town some distance away), "CountyName"They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
