Wise Craicnetters is there any way to circumvent legally the exorbitant charges when buying clothing from the UK ?
Pre Brexit there was parcel motel but I think that's gone.
I bought £15 leggings a couple of years ago, post Brexit, from a UK retailer and because of all the extra taxes and extra delivery charges they cost me nearly €40 !!!!
I know some bigger retailers and Amazon have put a system in place re costs but I want to buy a couple of tops and dresses from a small UK retailer.
Thanks in advance.

I’m glad you’ve found a solution to your problem OP.
I have the opposite issue: I live in Northern Ireland and since Brexit a lot of GB and European businesses (e.g. Miele and Amazon) won’t deliver certain items to NI but will deliver them to ROI.
I’m not sure if it’s customs related issues or lack of understanding that NI is still in the GB internal market as well as still in the EU single market. It’s a real head melter of a situation 😫 I thought I’d post on Craicnet to ask if anyone knows of a service in ROI that would receive and deliver parcels to NI addresses.
