Services tracked counts the distinct named services that came back in our latest market check, not the carrier’s full product range. Destinations covered counts how many of the 30 routes we publish that carrier quoted.
You book on our partner’s secure site, not with the carrier directly, which is usually why these prices beat the carrier’s own counter rate.
Common questions
Who is the cheapest courier in Ireland?
On the 3,767 prices we hold, the lowest single figure is €7.00 with GLS for a 0.5 kg parcel within Ireland, checked on 14 August 2026. No carrier is cheapest everywhere: the winner changes with the weight band and the destination, which is why every lane is priced band by band rather than ranked once.
Which courier covers the most destinations?
UPS covers the most, quoting on 30 destinations of the 30 we price from Ireland, across 990 prices as of 14 August 2026. Coverage is not the same as value: a carrier on every lane can still be beaten on any one of them.
