UK Forwarding, Done Right

Forward Pokémon & Trading Cards from the UK to Ireland

Buy Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! and other trading cards from UK sellers — even the ones that won't post to Ireland — and we bring them home for you. Because we forward from Northern Ireland, your cards reach the Republic with no EU customs charge and nothing to pay at the door. Sealed items stay sealed, and you can add a condition check and premium packaging for the pieces that matter.

🇮🇪 The Ireland advantage: no EU customs charge

This is what makes forwarding to Ireland different. There is no hard customs border between our Northern Ireland base and the Republic. Because Northern Ireland sits inside the EU single market for goods, your cards cross to the Republic with no EU customs charge and no courier handling fee on delivery — none of the surprise VAT-plus-admin bills that catch collectors out on parcels sent from Great Britain.

Why Irish collectors need a UK address

A huge share of the best card deals are UK-only. The official Pokémon Center UK store doesn't ship to the Republic of Ireland — it delivers only within the UK and the Crown Dependencies — but it does reach Northern Ireland, which is exactly where our depot is. Many eBay UK and Vinted sellers won't post to Ireland either, and cross-border parcels straight from Great Britain can land you with EU import charges. PostUK closes both gaps: you get a real UK delivery address, shop as a UK customer, and we forward your cards to Ireland from inside the single market for goods.

Forwarding cards to Ireland — FAQs

Will I pay EU customs or courier fees on cards forwarded to Ireland?

No. We forward from Northern Ireland, which sits inside the EU single market for goods, so your cards cross to the Republic of Ireland with no EU customs charge and no courier handling fee at the door. There is nothing to pay on delivery, and we declare contents accurately on every parcel.

Can I buy from UK sellers that won't post to Ireland?

Yes. The Pokémon Center UK store does not ship to the Republic of Ireland — it delivers only within the UK and the Crown Dependencies, though it does reach Northern Ireland where our depot is — and many eBay UK and Vinted sellers do not post to Ireland either. PostUK gives you a real UK delivery address, so you check out as a UK customer and we forward the cards on to your Irish address.

Will you open my sealed booster boxes or ETBs?

No. Sealed collectibles stay sealed — we log the parcel without opening it. If you want a record before it ships to Ireland, add the optional condition check and we'll photograph the item exactly as received.

Can you check condition or authenticity before sending to Ireland?

Yes — our optional Authentication & white-glove add-on (£14.99 per parcel) includes photos, a condition and authenticity check, rigid protective packaging and a signature-tracked courier. It's ideal for higher-value singles, graded slabs and sealed product heading to Ireland.

Can you ship graded slabs (PSA, CGC, BGS) to Ireland?

Yes. Graded slabs travel well to Ireland — we recommend the white-glove add-on for rigid packaging and signature delivery, plus optional insurance based on your declared value for higher-grade cards.
