Posting Parcel From Eire To Canada?

[Greg2013]

I have a package to post to Quebec,dimensions are roughly 26x21x20(lxwxh) and 4.0kg. An Post is coming up with a price of €50.50. Any cheaper options ?

Try https://www.parcel2go.com/ie/ theres Super Economy (4+ Day Delivery) options that come under €50 but not by much.

I decided to split the package down and send one this week and one next week. That way i can keep both under 2kg which seems to be the critical limit.

Not sure about weight but when we send stuff to my sister in Toronto we use the large premade boxes and an post charge the same for 2 possibly 3 of them taped together

Interesting. I do know that as soon as you go above 2kg postage shoots up greatly. Once its in a box its classed as a parcel and it all goes by weight.

Nah just a pair of ladies boots 

Was some sweets in it too but had to take them out to cut down on weight.

899gr classed as packet because box was small €11.69.

I was living in Vancouver a few years back and received a package labeled as candy & snacks (there was some) but most of the weight was pork sausages, puddings etc
