    Northern Ireland have UK postal codes. It is the same price by Royal Mail as the mainland as it is in the UK, not with couriers, they generally charge more.

    OP I hope you have a tin helmet. You are going to need it.

    Antrim is in the UK therefore the price for Royal Mail will be the same. Couriers might charge you more.

    Do you have a UK passport?

    Read what it says on the front of it.

    We do. We even have high speed broadband, running water, gas, electricity, so we do!

    :rotfl:

    We'll forgive your ignorance OP. Most people in Northern Ireland don't even know where Antrim is. It's not known for its attractions. :p

    It is best not to put Northern Ireland in the address, just the town and the BT postcode in the format recommended by RM. Some POs don't know what they are doing and when they see Ireland in the address want to charge international rates.

    "So we do" - I left NI over 25 years ago, and still say that. So I do...

    Not known for it's attractions?!:eek:

    Like the Giants Causeway?! (ok, so that is Co. Antrim, but Antrim all the same!)
