Posting a parcel from Ireland to Germany costs €9.90 with EirPost up to 500g, €13 up to 1kg, €16 up to 1.5kg and €21 up to 2kg. Delivery typically takes 2 to 3 working days on a tracked Express An Post service.
Germany is one of the most popular destinations for Irish online sellers, and most typical e-commerce orders, like jewellery, prints and cosmetics, ship at the €9.90 rate. Every label is tracked from drop-off in Ireland through to delivery, and the tracking number is available as soon as the label is created.
Germany is in the EU, so there is no customs declaration, no duty and no import VAT on normal goods. What you pay for the label is the whole cost of getting the parcel to a German address, and nothing is collected from your customer on the doorstep.
The workflow is the other reason sellers move over. Buy labels at your desk, print on A4 or on a 4x6 thermal label, and upload a CSV when you have a batch of orders to do at once. Then walk into any post office and hand the parcels over. You are only dropping parcels off, not queueing to buy postage.

Get a price for your parcelIreland and Germany are both in the EU single market, so a parcel of normal goods needs no customs declaration, pays no duty and attracts no import VAT. There is nothing to complete when you create the label beyond the address and the weight, and nothing for your customer to pay before the parcel is handed over. Germany is about as simple a lane as an Irish seller can post on.
With EirPost, a parcel from Ireland to Germany up to 500g costs €9.90, up to 1kg is €13, up to 1.5kg is €16 and up to 2kg is €21. These are tracked An Post international deliveries bought online, with nothing extra to pay at the post office.

At any An Post post office in Ireland. Print the label at home on A4 paper or a 4x6 thermal label, attach it, and hand the parcel over. There is nothing to pay at the counter because the postage is already bought.
EirPost covers parcels up to 2kg, which suits most e-commerce orders: clothing, prints, crafts, cosmetics, books and small goods. Heavier parcels are better served by a courier service.
An EirPost label at €9.90, tracked. That covers parcels up to 500g, which takes in most jewellery, print and cosmetics orders. The label is generated the moment you pay, ready to print on A4 or a 4x6 thermal label.
Yes. Upload a CSV of orders and EirPost generates the labels together, so a morning of twenty German orders is one upload and one print run rather than twenty separate jobs. Print on A4 or on 4x6 thermal labels, then drop the whole batch at any post office.
