Urgent Help Needed Please!!

Hi i need to send a parcel today which weighs 4.5kg and 40cm length, 24cm width and 34cm height to ireland, Co Clare 0000.
The thing is i got a quote online for parcel force for £30.00 inc insurance of 500, Going Ireland 24 so i put postage cost on ebay for 35.00 to cover packaging. But apparently i can't use this service as i dont live in Ireland.
The quote at the time never stated you had to live in Ireland and parcelforce have now quoted £50 how can i send this parcel cheaper?
Any help will be much appreciated thanks

Is there no way that you can send it via Royal Mail parcels - ie take it to the post office and see how much they can do it for?

Hi i'm not sure i will take it up and ask nothing lost not yet anyway.
Thanks

With Pharos, who use UPS to send, it would cost £25.65 - but they wouldn't pick up 'til tomorrow.

Have you tried
https://www.parcel2go.com

I'm pretty sure that they do same day pick ups

Hi, Pharos website keeps going down but the price seems good will try again in 10mins.
Thanks

If it's northern ireland you are looking for, take a look at this:

Ebay parcel delivery.

It costs £14.95 to anywhere in the UK including NI (parcel up to 10KG). I haven't tried them myself though so it's worth reading their feedback or checking with other buyers. HTH

Clare is in ROI, not NI.

Nadia - it was Clare, which is Eire (or Southern Ireland):)

I have used these services before but only for within UK - they are pretty good and also if you pay up and complete the form before 11 am, they (DHL) come and collect the very same day.

I think they do only 1 collection and 1 delivery attempt.
