I've used the following with no problems:

www.alakazam.co.uk
www.magicmagic.co.uk
www.magicnevin.com
www.magicbox.uk.com

The key here is speedy despatch. As long as they despatch your order promptly, the delivery time is in the hands of Royal Mail. If they despatch your order within, say, four hours of you placing it but RM deliver it a week later, you can't really hold the dealer responsible. Some people must think that dealers personally deliver orders - they don't! RM do.

Lots of info here...

The english postal service to here is a little c*** (not the best) at the moment. But I have ordered from most of the places with a good name and all have arived eventually. Paddy Clancey also has a really small magic shop in Limerick which may be worth checking out.

It's not all that good over here either! Most stuff ordered arrives within a couple of days but about 15 minutes ago our post arrived at work containing a Christmas Card and the postmark was dated December 11th :shock: .

I was just told there by someone shipping to Ireland regularly that you are generally looking at 2 weeks for a parcel to come to Ireland from the UK.

Christ, with the amount that we complain about our postal service, An Post, it could be worse ... we could have to relay on Royal Mail for inland mail.

I told you, there is a magic shop in Ireland. It's in Limerick. I think there is also one in Belfast though.

You also might want to contact John Boden (I think that's his name) up there and join the IBM. I think there is a big enough ring in Dublin. I know at one stage there was a place in Dublin to buy magic, but as far as I am aware it is long gone at this stage.
