Send a Parcel from Ireland to Northern Ireland from €8

    Posting a parcel from Ireland to Northern Ireland costs €8 up to 1kg and €8.50 up to 2kg with EirPost. The price hardly moves with weight, so a full 2kg parcel to Belfast or Derry is €8.50, only 50c more than the smallest parcel you can send.

    There is no customs declaration on this lane. Post between Ireland and Northern Ireland moves within the island the way it always has, so there is nothing to declare, nothing to fill in, and nothing for your customer to pay before the parcel is handed over. Delivery typically takes 2 to 3 working days.

    Pricing is simple: €8 covers anything up to 1kg and €8.50 covers anything up to 2kg, both tracked. The label is bought online, printed at home on A4 or a 4x6 thermal label, and the parcel is dropped at any post office in the Republic.

    Tracking is included on every label, so both you and the customer can follow the parcel. There is no contract, no An Post account needed, and the first three labels are free.

    Customs and Paperwork

    No customs declaration is needed for a parcel from Ireland to Northern Ireland. The post stays within the island, so there is nothing to declare, no duty and nothing collected on delivery. Address it exactly as you would a domestic parcel, finishing with the BT postcode, and choose Northern Ireland rather than the UK when you create the label. Great Britain is a separate lane with different prices and a customs declaration attached.

    Typical delivery: 2 to 3 working days
    No customs declarations needed

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does it cost to send a parcel from Ireland to Northern Ireland?

    With EirPost, a parcel from Ireland to Northern Ireland up to 500g costs €8, up to 1kg is €8, up to 1.5kg is €8.50 and up to 2kg is €8.50. These are tracked An Post international deliveries bought online, with nothing extra to pay at the post office.

    How long does post take from Ireland to Northern Ireland?

    Typical delivery time is 2 to 3 working days once the parcel is scanned in by An Post. This is an estimate rather than a guarantee: busy periods like Christmas can add time.

    Is the parcel tracked?

    Yes. Every EirPost label includes An Post tracking. You get the tracking number as soon as the label is generated and can follow the parcel door to door.

    Where do I drop off the parcel?

    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.

    What is the maximum weight?

    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.

    Is Northern Ireland the same as Great Britain for posting?

    No. Northern Ireland has its own pricing (€8 up to 1kg, €8.50 up to 2kg) and needs no customs declaration because the post stays on the island. Great Britain is a separate destination that needs a customs declaration for goods since Brexit. Pick the right one when you create the label, because the customs data attached to each differs.

    Can I post to a BT postcode with a Northern Ireland label?

    Yes. Every address in Northern Ireland uses a BT postcode, and that is the lane those parcels travel on. Write the address as normal, finish with the BT postcode, and drop the parcel at any post office in the Republic. Delivery is usually 1 to 3 working days and there is no customs information to enter.
