Prints for Ireland are generally posted out the next working day after an order is received. I mostly use An Post, the Irish postal service. The packages are tracked and I send an email to customers when I have dropped them off at my local An Post Sorting Office in Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
Prints outside of Ireland are sent by Courier (Fedex, UPS etc) and are generally picked up from me within 2 working days. An email will be sent with the tracking info, etc on dispatch.
The prints are protected with large biodegradable bubble wrap and placed in custom sized heavy cardboard boxes (or heavy cardboards/ tubes in the case of unframed prints). Name, address and contact details of recipient are written on the front with a 'return to sender' sticker on the back. Fragile tape is applied both sides.
