We make the entire shipping process straightforward for you, even with the Brexit trade agreement still to be finalised. We ensure compliance with Brexit customs requirements while delivering a great shipping service from the UK to Northern Ireland and South Ireland.

Both start-ups and large enterprises come to us with their short-term and long-term freight needs between the UK and Ireland. Whichever direction you need to relocate goods, Barrington Freight offers convenient and wallet-friendly solutions for fast and effective road freight.

Do not hesitate to contact us for more information on our services surrounding road freight to Ireland; all you have to do is fill in our quote form, book your shipment and we’ll do the rest.

The Engines Are On

We are able to make such quick journeys to Ireland with your pallets, cargo and boxes because we disperse our modern fleet of vans around England, Wales and Scotland. These vans are ready for your business order and can be at your location in no time at all.

Once your assets have been loaded onto our vans in a safe and secure way, reliable two-man teams of drivers will start their journey to your designated postcode in Ireland. By having vehicles on standby around the country, controlled from our base in Essex, we provide businesses with an on-hand option for getting road freight to Ireland no matter where they are based.

It might take the help of a ferry to get there, but we know Ireland like the back of our hands – and can deal with traffic incidents and unforeseen circumstances promptly.

Road Freight Transit Time to Ireland from the UK

We have vans waiting throughout our depot network to collect your consignment quickly and get your goods going to the ferry port and beyond to their destination. We can also arrange multiple drop-offs if your business deals with more than one Irish supplier or partner. We understand the importance of our role in your business processes, so offer next-day freight deliveries to Ireland as long as your customs obligations are fulfilled.

Ireland road freight timings can change, but normally we deliver within 3-4 days for groupage, 1-2 days for a full load, and 1-2 days for express delivery. With additional customs requirements, we will help you ensure your freight is compliant and ensure your goods arrive as fast as possible.

Brexit Customs Considerations

Since Brexit, there are additional customs considerations to ensure the smooth delivery of your goods. You will need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK to Ireland freight or any EU country you ship to and from alongside a range of other customs requirements. See our blog on What is an EORI Number for more information.

Shipping to Ireland from the UK

Here at Barrington Freight, we understand that many commercial suppliers would like to build up their customer base in the Republic of Ireland but are wary of the current regulations. Given that shipping to Ireland can be conducted from the mainland directly or via Northern Ireland, it is sometimes confusing for logistics managers to know what is the best option for them. That’s why turning to professionals in international logistics – we are members of the British International Freight Association, after all – can be so useful.

Whether your firm is located in South Wales, which would mean shipping from Fishguard could be a preferred option, or you have a stock shipment to arrange from East Anglia, which would mean all options are on the table, we can help. Not only will we make the right calls given your location and that of your customer in the Republic but we can take on all of the required customs clearance declarations for you, too. Crucially, this will be the case whether you end up shipping to Ireland directly or through Northern Ireland. Please also note that offer expert assistance when shipping to Ireland from parts of the British Isles that are outside of the UK, such as Jersey or Guernsey, for example.

Where is Ireland located?

Ireland is in Western Europe, an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, just west of Great Britain.

We are friendly, easy to work with, honest and we do not charge the earth.
