Shipping to Northern Ireland

[probonopublico]

Hi

 

does anyone have any recent experience of shipping instruments to Northern Ireland. I have a potential buyer and wanted to know if it needs forms or is likely to get held up or even lost in the miasma that is the current mess.

I recently had a bass shipped to me from London and as far as I'm aware there were no extra forms or paperwork involved.

Many thanks Low B, government guidance looks ok although I could be forgiven for not believing that.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

 

Same territory.

Used to have a great service here called Parcel Motel whereby i could ship kit up north and they'd bring it down for 5 quid. Saved a fortune on shipping.

 

Alas, it is gone now 😢

I've a couple of times recently sent bass bodies, parts, and a hard case to N Ireland (although not a complete instrument) via ParcelForce and it was just the same as sending it anywhere else in the UK.  No paperwork etc.

I've had quite a few basses shipped to me here in NI with Parcelforce and DHL and all have arrived safely and without any hiccups.
