Irish Parcels: compare and book couriers from Ireland

Irish Parcels is a pay-as-you-go parcel delivery service that allows individuals and businesses to compare rates from different couriers and book shipping online. The platform works without credit contracts or complicated fees, and its booking system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The service covers deliveries within Ireland, from Ireland to the UK and to over 200 countries, and includes importing parcels to Ireland from the UK, Europe, Asia, America and Australia. The company presents itself as an import specialist and as a local courier service for shipments from Ireland.

How the service works

The user enters the size and weight of the parcel, along with the collection and delivery details, and gets an instant quote. The platform compares rates from several couriers so the customer can choose the most convenient option. Collection and delivery are door-to-door, at the home or business address, and the shipment can be tracked online at every stage.

Key features include managing recurring orders and customs forms, as well as access to various courier options to choose from based on speed, cost or reliability.
