postage to Dublin?

PINGA14

How do you work out postage to Dublin?
Want to send a parcel weighing about 2 kg and cant seem to work it out on RM website.
Do you just use the standard parcel price or do they add a premium?
Any help greatfully received!!!

Thanks for that!
Thought it was as its in the British Isles but you never know with RM.

NO!! Dublin is in the Irish Republic so it is at European rates and much more expensive I'm afraid. Northern Ireland is at UK rates - all of these addresses have BT post codes. There are no post codes in the Republic apart from numbers for Dublin addresses.

dublin isnt in teh uk, its in the republic or ireland, so you ahve to pay europe rates. posting to northern ireland is uk rates, however, perhaps this is what confused you.
