posting clubs to N.Ireland

[kev_off_the_tee]

Hi all, just after a little advice

What is the cheapest way to send clubs to Bangor, Northern Ireland from Mainland UK.

I've sold some clubs on Ebay and have to send them over the next few days. There are irons, woods, putter and a stand bag to send

your help would be hugely appreciated

Royal Mail/Parcelfoce...NI is still part of the UK you know.....

If it's all going to the same address your be better off sending it by Dhl, citylink etc. If you can get them to me I could send them for about £9 on a 2 day Dhl service

Bangor, eh? Sounds like brendy made a purchase.

Interparcel is good, no more expensive than a decent Parcleforce service, but faster and more reliable.

I do but N.Ireland will inevitably be more expensive than posting to mainland UK

Same price as posting to mainland, tis part of the UK

I'd of though that the fact that it was going across water would have made it more expensive. I dont know this for sure, hence the request for info

What did you charge for P&P when you sold them? Did you not do a little research at least?

I am originally from NI, by the way. It isn't any more expensive than other parts of the UK, but I use Interparcel to ship from Berkshire to London too, so I would still use it for NI.

just checked on Parcelforce after SammmeBee's advice £10.50

I think I'll check with Fastway Couriers as we use them at work.

Thanks everyone

I did and I was quoted £10.50 for parcelforce48 but didn't think to read up about NI.

I now know that it is no more expensive through most couriers

If you use fastway, ask for the economy service as they do a next day which us between 15 & 20

The couriers that charge more are not worth using. For the Record, I am very happy with my existing AP2's So wasnt me though if they are a member of my club might know em.
I have had to set a few guys straight regarding NI postage. Parcels2go and parcel force are a couple of places that are actually ok to deal with in my experience. Last collection job was a full exhaust system and had it collected and delivered to my home for less than £20.
