Why Ireland needs special attention

Shipments to Ireland are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.

Dublino è hub principale; le zone rurali (Connemara, Kerry) hanno tempi extra.

The 5 steps to pack shoes for Ireland

Step 1 — Materials needed. box originale + box esterna, imbottisci interno shoes.

Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean shoes before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.

Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap shoes in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 2–3 European hubs.

Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.

Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Ireland's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
