Does it ship to Ireland?
Ireland is well served by the big marketplaces — the drama is mostly on the UK side, where Brexit pushed some household names out entirely. Here’s where the major stores stand.
| Store | Known for | Ships to Ireland? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon.ie | Everything | ✅ Yes | Dedicated Irish store since March 2025 — euro prices, local stock with no extra customs charges, Prime available. Some items still ship from the UK, and Amazon itself says it can’t guarantee those avoid the new charges. |
| Amazon.co.uk | Everything (UK) | ✅ Yes | Still delivers to Ireland with import fees collected at checkout (Import Fees Deposit) — no surprise charges at the door on Amazon-sold items. |
| eBay | Marketplace | ✅ Yes | ebay.ie is live; eBay collects Irish VAT at checkout on imports up to €150 and shows the €3-per-item-type duty at checkout on eBay-managed international shipping. |
| Etsy | Handmade / vintage | ✅ Yes | Per-shop; Etsy collects Irish VAT at checkout on sub-€150 imports, and the €3 duty is either at checkout or collected on delivery. |
| AliExpress | Marketplace (China) | ✅ Yes | Ships to Ireland; 23% VAT collected at checkout on orders up to €150. Whether the €3 duty appears at checkout isn’t confirmed yet — budget for it. |
| Temu | Budget goods | ✅ Yes | Dedicated Ireland storefront; among the platforms reported to collect the new €3 duty at checkout. |
| Shein | Fast fashion | ✅ Yes | Ships to Ireland with standard and express options; expect the €3 duty itemised at checkout, but confirm on your first order. |

| Marks & Spencer | Clothing / food (UK) | ✅ Yes | Irish online store: standard delivery ~€4, free over €75, free store collection. Fully restored after the 2025 cyberattack — Irish online ordering resumed 21 August 2025 after a four-month suspension. |
| Next | Fashion (UK) | ✅ Yes | Irish site: €2 shipping per order, delivery in 2–3 working days, free store delivery. A NextUnlimited monthly delivery pass is sold on next.ie (UK price £3.50/month — confirm the euro price). |
| Zalando | Fashion (EU) | ✅ Yes | zalando.ie has served Ireland since 2018. Free standard delivery now requires a minimum order (~€25); smaller orders pay a small delivery fee. Returns remain free. |
| IKEA | Furniture / home | ✅ Yes | Delivers across the Republic: parcels by DPD from €2–€6, truck delivery for furniture from ~€50, click-and-collect available. |
| Back Market | Refurbished tech | ✅ Yes | Dedicated Irish marketplace at backmarket.ie with the standard 12-month warranty and 30-day returns. |
| Argos | General (UK) | ❌ No | Exited the Republic entirely in 2023 — all 34 stores and argos.ie closed. Still trades in Northern Ireland and Great Britain only. |
| John Lewis | Department store (UK) | ❌ No | Stopped all international delivery in December 2020 and still ships only within the UK — reachable from Ireland only via parcel forwarding. |
Delivery policies change often — treat this as a starting point and confirm at checkout. Rows verified July 2026.
When a store won’t ship here
An Post’s own forwarding service, AddressPal, gives you a virtual UK and US address: UK-to-Ireland forwarding costs €10 for items up to 20kg, US forwarding from €20 by weight, and An Post handles the customs clearance and notifies you of any charge before delivery. It’s the standard route to UK-only holdouts like John Lewis. (Commercial forwarders like forward2me do the same job.)
Before you order
Two things decide the final price: whether the store ships here, and what customs adds on top — which for UK orders is now a real question. Run the numbers with the import cost calculator and read the import charges guide so there are no surprises at the door.
You can also search across marketplaces on OroScout and filter to offers that ship to your country.
