Courier benchmarks

GLS publishes ParcelShop pricing from EUR 8.00 for small ROI parcels. DPD prices are quote-based and depend on collection, delivery, weight and dimensions.

• Use public courier prices as a benchmark
• Check final carrier rules before buying
• Dimensions can change the cheapest option

Tracking and cover

If tracking is essential, compare Standard parcel tracking, Express Post, Registered Post and courier tracking rather than choosing only on the headline price.

International parcels

Goods leaving Ireland for non-EU destinations need customs data. Great Britain parcels also need customs data, while Northern Ireland is different for many goods movements.

Marketplace and Vinted parcels

If the parcel is a Vinted, Depop, eBay or Etsy sale, check whether the platform has already generated a prepaid label. If it has, use that exact carrier route and get a drop-off scan.

• Use the selected marketplace carrier
• Keep proof of posting
• Compare your own courier label for oversized or high-value items

Business quote trigger

If you send more than 20 parcels a month, public counter rates are usually the wrong benchmark. Compare parcel accounts, prepaid labels, returns handling and shipping software.
