Ending an auction early to post to ireland
Aug 16, 2012 11:56 PM

I have some shoes for sale and some one wants me to end the listing early as she needs them for sunday. As I live in the UK and she lives in Ireland I am unsure if they will arrive the next day like she needs them to(I will post tomorrow around 10am). She has offered 4 euros for the shoes and 6 euros postage, I have no idea what this equates to in pounds. She has bid on the shoes up to £4.00. I need adivce on whether to end the auction early, and if I do how do I charge her what shes offered to pay postage wise.

Any help appriciated

You have not got much chance of them arriving in Ireland for Sunday.  Standard post takes around 3-5 working days.  Express delivery would mean that they would need to go via courier guaranteed to arrive Saturday and would cost an arm and a leg

 

work out the correct postage costs here

Ireland would be classed as Europe Rates

 

If the buyer lives in Northern Ireland, Special Delivery would be available, but you would need to send via Guaranteed Saturday service, but may not be available to Northern Ireland - the PO could tell you if it was possible. Cost varies from £10-£15 depending on the weight for SD Saturday delivery

I would refuse her request. it could end up being more trouble than its worth.

Even if you bend over backwards to get them there , you will probably still get blamed if they don't arrive in time.
