LCL shipping to Limerick, Ireland from Canada
Limerick is a city on the River Shannon in Ireland's mid-west, about 85 km north of Cork in a straight line. It is not a priced destination on A1's tariff, so the ocean LCL price ends at the destination warehouse (CFS) in Cork, and the consignee arranges the road trip along the N20. Transit is about 20 days from Toronto or Montreal and 30 from Vancouver, with Toronto the cheaper gateway at USD 5 per cubic foot. The smallest shipment costs USD 441.60.
Irish families coming home from Canada, students at the university and small businesses in the Shannon region use this lane. Household goods are accepted subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy, and excisable goods such as wine, spirits or tobacco need approval too. Collecting at Cork or trucking to Limerick is not included in A1's price, and Irish customs, duties and taxes are extra. Pack on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets; the carrier confirms destination charges before you pay.
How a shipment to Limerick works
Limerick is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Cork about 85 km (straight line) from Limerick: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Cork. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Limerick with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
