With what inferno said and from info from SWIM, anything that was sent to an island nation in the western hemisphere, SWIM would made the shipment fee like €150-350, 2-5x more because that’s how many packages it usually took to get a small bag of something in there. 50% of the loss was covered with 5% added for each failure on your next buy, on try 3 there would be a break, a little more added for inconvenience and then tried again, after 5 failed attempts SWIM would refund half and say “Best of Luck.”

Ireland specifically, you guys want to protect your cultural heritage to the point where your import and export workers along with Postal Inspection & Customs Agents are trained to look for weird things that have stash drawers or hidden compartments to smuggle Irish artifacts like arrowheads, shards of pottery, just pocketable things that if you found in western mainland Europe, would be almost insignificant but because it’s considered Irish Heritage, it’s like a brag to say you took something Irish out of Ireland: the government has domain over it, what it was put on, what it was shipped in, etc and they aren’t afraid to peruse for whatever reason if they find out you took it out, same goes with New Zealand except with prosecution, they just don’t fuck around when it comes to illegal import or exportation, illegal substances, items that have no taxed/VAT form, fruits & vegetables, etc. You WILL be fined for it in NZ.

Good luck man, I genuinely do mean it.
