The table shows the cheapest service per band; across every service and weight, prices on this lane run from €7.00 to €45.86. Box size is the parcel each band was quoted with. Send something bigger at the same weight and the courier charges volumetric weight instead, length × width × height in centimetres, divided by 5000, which moves the parcel up a band. All 11 bands are priced on this lane.
Common questions
How much does it cost to send a parcel in Ireland?
A 2 kg parcel sent within Ireland costs from €8.85 with GLS, the cheapest of 8 prices we hold at that band on 14 August 2026. Prices on the lane start at €7.00 for a 0.5 kg parcel and reach €15.85 for a 30 kg one.
What is the cheapest way to send a parcel in Ireland?
The cheapest price we hold within Ireland is €7.00 with GLS on Gls Euro Parcel, for a 0.5 kg parcel quoted 1–3 days. That one can be collected from your address or dropped off, whichever suits the day. Weigh and measure the box before you compare: couriers charge in bands, so a 2.4 kg parcel prices at the 3 kg band, and a big light box is charged on volumetric weight instead of what the scales say.
How long does delivery within Ireland take?
Couriers quote 1 to 5 working days for a parcel sent within Ireland, across the 79 prices we hold. The fastest estimate is next day with UPS on EU Express. The cheapest service quotes 1–3 days, so price and speed pull against each other here. Estimates count working days from collection, not from the moment you book.
Can I get next-day delivery within Ireland?
Yes. 11 of the 79 prices we hold within Ireland are quoted next day, the cheapest at €14.27 with UPS on EU Express, checked on 14 August 2026. Next day counts from collection, so the courier’s cut-off matters more than the hour you book.
Is An Post or a courier cheaper?
On the prices we hold, a courier is cheaper: €7.00 with GLS for a 0.5 kg parcel, against €12.25 for the cheapest An Post service in the same check on 14 August 2026. An Post’s own counter and online rates are not in this comparison and can win on a small light packet, so it is worth pricing both.
Worth knowing
Prices move in bands
Couriers price in steps, so we quote in the same steps. A 2.4 kg parcel prices at the 3 kg band here and at the 3 kg band when you book, round up, never down. The weight that counts is the heavier of the actual weight and the volumetric one.
What the number includes
Each price is the total the booking site quoted for that service on the day we checked, with VAT treated exactly as they treat it. We don’t add a fee and we never take payment.
Cheapest isn’t fastest
The cheapest service on this lane is rarely the quickest: €7.00 buys 1–3 days with GLS, while the fastest estimate we hold is next day with UPS. Compare both before you book.
Addresses and timing
Where these were quoted to
Collection is quoted from a Dublin address and delivery to a reference address elsewhere in Ireland. Your own Eircode and the delivery address can move the number a little, so the exact price is confirmed at booking.
Working days, not calendar days
Transit estimates are the courier’s own, counted in working days from collection rather than from the moment you book. Book before the cut-off and the clock starts the same day.
Booking happens elsewhere
Not here. Each service links out to our partner’s secure booking site with that service selected, and the price shown is confirmed there before you pay.
