Packing tips
Shipping luggage to Ireland
When you ship to Ireland, we recommend packing your belongings in a hard or soft suitcase. Make sure all the straps are tucked in, taped down, or taken off. Opt for a sturdy suitcase, because we do not accept rucksacks and holdalls. And we don’t recommend shipping designer luggage.
Place your labels in a plastic sleeve and attach it securely to the suitcases with cable ties. This will prevent the labels from falling off and the bags being lost. Do not lock your suitcase when closing it, as customs and/or the courier may need to verify the contents of your shipment.
Parcel and box shipping
When it comes to box shipping we recommend a double-walled box or higher. Within the boxes, we recommend packaging up individual fragile belongings with some form of cushioning, like bubble wrap. Ideally, spread your heavy items out between boxes rather than packing a whole box of heavy items. Include a spare copy of your label in the box for verification purposes.
