Postal rates are also calculated by reference to the weight, shape, size and destination of the item you are posting, reflecting the cost of processing and delivering those items. An Post divides post into four categories when determining the cost of its delivery: Letter/postcard Large envelope Packet Parcel Once your item exceeds the size or weight limit of any category, it automatically moves to the next category of post. Learn more about our size and weight guidelines. The price you pay also depends on the destination of your post.

They are: Zone 1 - Ireland and Northern Ireland Zone 2 - Great Britain, including England, Scotland and Wales Zone 3 - Europe Zone 4 - Rest of World (excluding Australia/New Zealand) Zone 5 - Australia and New Zealand The cost of postage to the UK from the Republic of Ireland depends on whether your item is going to Northern Ireland or the rest of the UK.
