    If it is normal Royal Mail same as posting to mainland UK, will not cost any more.

    Some couriers charge extra for Northern Ireland but Royal Mail is the same. You do not have to send via airmail.

    Hi Brenda, NI is the same postage rate as the rest of the UK if you're using RM, couriers have their own rates however.

    If the item is under 2kg have a look here: http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder;jsessionid=F224E0CEGSAWMFB2IGLEOSQ?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc
    Clean straw and pig nuts, a right not a privilege.

    NI is part of UK, so standard mail can be used.

    Special Delivery and signed for are available in the normal way. I think the next day guarantee for SD is suspended, but they do still prioritise it over other post.

    Yes, fully trackable as it is UK post- same rules apply in RM. Special Delivery usually runs well, can't see it though with the weather we've had lately- may be a few days. Overnight can be 2 days though.
