Posting a parcel from Ireland to the UK costs €8 with EirPost for anything up to 500g, €9 up to 1kg, €10 up to 1.5kg and €12 for a full 2kg parcel. Every label is a tracked An Post service. You buy it online, print it at home, and drop the parcel in at any post office.
Every label is tracked, which matters most on the busiest lane Irish shops serve, and the tracking number is ready to paste into the dispatch email the moment the label is generated. The price you see at checkout is the full cost of the label, customs handling included.
Since Brexit, goods going to Great Britain need a customs declaration. EirPost builds it from the item description, value and weight you enter while creating the label, so there is no green form to write out at the counter and nothing extra to hand over. Delivery to a British address usually takes 2 to 3 working days on the Express service.
Britain is the first export market most Irish sellers pick up, and it is the one where the postage figure decides whether an order is worth taking at all. There is no contract, no monthly fee and no An Post business account needed. The first three labels are free, so you can post three real orders before you commit to anything.

Get a price for your parcelParcels of goods from Ireland to Great Britain have needed an electronic customs declaration since Brexit. EirPost creates it and sends it with the label, using the description, value and weight you enter when you buy it. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is filled in at the post office.
Goods worth under £135 are usually delivered without the recipient being asked for anything. Above £135, UK import VAT and possibly duty can be collected from the recipient before the parcel is released. If you sell higher-value pieces, say so on your shipping page so a British customer is not surprised at the door.
Describe the contents accurately. Entries like "gift", "sample" or "accessories" are the most common reason a parcel sits in UK customs. "Cotton t-shirt, 1 unit, EUR 25" gives customs everything they need. "Clothing" on its own often does not.
With EirPost, a parcel from Ireland to the UK up to 500g costs €8, up to 1kg is €9, up to 1.5kg is €10 and up to 2kg is €12. These are tracked An Post international deliveries bought online, with nothing extra to pay at the post office.
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 and customs checks can add time.
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 from drop-off in Ireland through to delivery.
Yes, parcels of goods to the UK need a customs declaration, but you do not fill in a paper form. EirPost generates the electronic declaration from the item description, value and weight you enter while creating the label.
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.
Usually not. Goods valued under £135 are typically delivered without the recipient paying anything extra. Above £135, UK import VAT and possibly duty can be collected from them before delivery. The postage itself is paid in full when you buy the EirPost label, so there is never anything to pay for carriage.
No. Northern Ireland is a separate destination with its own prices and no customs declaration, because the post stays on the island. Choose Northern Ireland rather than the UK when you create the label, because the customs data attached to the two differs.
