What we take, and how far

One size, twenty-five Eircode areas, and a checker so you never have to guess about an address.

Type the first three characters or the whole thing. Either works.

What fits

Two questions, and the second matters more than the first.

Does it fit in one of your own bags? And would it survive an hour on a bicycle? Up to 3 kg. Most of what a shop sends passes both without anybody thinking about it.

Soft things and well-packaged things are fine. The test is whether a knock would break it. A wine bottle is thick, single and made to be carried, so it travels perfectly well. A mirror, a picture frame or a wine glass is thin and wide, and it does not.

What fails is rarely the whole item, it is one part of it. A lamp is fine until you count the shade and the bulb.

Goes

Clothing and shoes ✓
Jewellery, boxed ✓
Prescriptions ✓
Cosmetics, sealed ✓
Books, unframed prints ✓
A bottle of wine ✓

Does not go

Mirrors, framed glass ×
Wine glasses, china ×
Lamps, shades, bulbs ×
Anything that will not fit ×

The crate settles the first question: if it fits in the crate, it is the right size. The second is a judgement, and if you are making one, ring us rather than guessing. We would far rather have that call than the other one.

If you are not sure, ring before you promise

A rider arriving to something they cannot carry safely is a wasted run for us and a disappointed customer for you. Thirty seconds on the phone settles it, and we would much rather have that call than the other one.

How far

Twenty-five Eircode areas. This is the same list our own booking system checks against, so what you see here is what our riders actually cover.

How to put it to your customers

Shorter is better. Nobody reads a list of postcodes, and the checkout does the work anyway.

On a product page or a delivery information page
Same-day delivery across Dublin. Order before 1pm and it reaches you between 2pm and 6pm today. Most arrive mid-afternoon: across our September deliveries the median was 3.20pm and 99% had arrived by 5.54pm. Anything later goes the next working day.

That is all most people need. The checkout will only offer same-day to an address we can actually reach, so nobody has to work out whether they qualify.

If somebody asks specifically
All Dublin postcodes, plus Blackrock, Dún Laoghaire and Swords.

One sentence, and it is accurate. Send them this page if they want to check their own address.

What not to say

Avoid a distance, like "within 10 km". It sounds precise and it is wrong in both directions: it takes in places we do not reach and leaves out places we do. Dalkey is further from town than Tallaght, and we cover both.
