Shipping to Ireland
We ship selected Vapour Central products from our Essex stores to customers in the Republic of Ireland using tracked services. This page explains how shipping to Ireland works, typical delivery times and what to expect with customs and import charges.
Please also read our Customs & Import Charges page before ordering.
🇮🇪 Where we ship
This page covers orders to the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is treated as UK shipping and follows our standard UK delivery options.
📦 Tracked delivery
Orders to Ireland are sent using tracked services only. You will receive a tracking link once your order is dispatched so you can follow its progress.
Starting from £7.99.
💷 Taxes & duties
Irish customs may charge import VAT or handling fees when your parcel enters the country.
These charges are set by Irish authorities and are your responsibility to pay.
See full details on our Customs & Import Charges page.
Important: orders containing e-liquid require specialist courier delivery
Any order containing e-liquid, including nic salts, shortfills, prefilled refill pods or any other liquid-based vape product, must be sent using a suitable courier service such as UPS, Parcelforce or another approved courier.
Standard international shipping cannot be used for orders containing liquid. If an order containing e-liquid is placed with normal shipping selected, we will not be able to fulfil the order using that service and will need to contact you before dispatch.
The delivery price we charge for liquid orders is what it costs us to send the parcel. We are constantly looking for cheaper and reliable courier options, but we cannot send liquid products through unsuitable services.
For larger orders, we may be able to look into a courier of your choice. Please contact us before ordering if you would like us to check this.
Shipping options for Ireland
We currently offer tracked shipping to the Republic of Ireland using recognised carriers. Exact prices may vary depending on order weight, value, whether your order contains liquid products and any promotions running at the time you order.
Standard tracked delivery
Example: Royal Mail International Tracked / similar service
Our standard option for eligible non-liquid orders to Ireland. Once dispatched, most parcels arrive within approximately 5–10 working days, depending on customs processing and local delivery.
- Full end-to-end tracking where available.
- Signature or delivery confirmation in most areas.
- Best balance of cost and reliability for eligible non-liquid orders.
- From £7.99 for up to 2KG.
- Cannot be used for orders containing e-liquid, nic salts, shortfills or refill pods.
Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. Customs checks or local delays can extend this.
Special courier delivery for liquid orders
Example: UPS, Parcelforce or another suitable courier service
Any order containing e-liquid, including refill pods, must be sent using a suitable courier service. This is required because standard international shipping services may not accept liquid-based vape products.
- Required for e-liquid, nic salts, shortfills and refill pods.
- Suitable for larger or higher value orders.
- Courier options may include UPS, Parcelforce or similar services.
- The price charged reflects the actual courier cost to us.
- We can look into a courier of your choice for larger orders.
If your order contains liquid and only normal shipping has been selected, the order cannot be fulfilled until a suitable courier option is agreed.
If you do not see an Irish shipping option at checkout, or your basket contains items that cannot currently be shipped to Ireland, you can contact us and we will advise on alternatives.
Customs, VAT and import charges
Because Ireland is outside the UK, your order will pass through Irish customs.
They may apply local taxes and handling fees when the parcel enters the country.
These charges are not included in your checkout total.
Full policy details are available on our
Customs & Import Charges page.
- You may be asked to pay import VAT and/or a customs handling fee by the carrier before your parcel is delivered.
- These charges are set by Irish authorities and are not controlled by Vapour Central.
- If you choose not to pay any import charges and the parcel is returned to us, we will refund the cost of the products once they arrive back in resellable condition, but any original and return shipping costs may not be refundable.
We complete customs paperwork honestly and clearly. We cannot under-declare the value of your order or mark it as a “gift”.
Products we can ship to Ireland
Our aim is to offer a similar experience to our UK customers while respecting Irish rules on nicotine and related products. In general we can ship:
- Vape kits, tanks and coils, where permitted by the carrier.
- TPD-compliant e-liquid and nic salts within legal limits, sent by suitable courier only.

We do not ship tobacco, CBD products or anything that falls outside our normal product categories.

Nicotine products are intended for existing adult smokers and nicotine users. They are not risk free.
Ordering tips for Irish customers
Check your address details
Make sure your Irish address is complete and accurate, including county and correct Eircode where possible. This helps reduce delays and misroutes.
- Use your full name as it appears on ID or delivery information.
- Include a contact phone number and email for courier notifications.
- Consider using a work address if you are rarely home during the day.
Plan ahead
Allow extra time for customs and cross-border processing, especially during peak seasons or public holidays.
- Order before you are completely out of supplies.
- Check tracking regularly for any attempted deliveries or payment requests from the carrier.
- If ordering e-liquid, nic salts or refill pods, make sure the correct courier shipping option is selected.
- Contact us if tracking has not updated for a reasonable period and you are concerned.
FAQ – Shipping to Ireland
Do you ship to the Republic of Ireland?
Yes. We ship selected vape, nicotine pouch and lifestyle products from our UK stores to the Republic of Ireland using tracked services. Availability may vary depending on the products in your basket.
Do you ship to Northern Ireland?
Yes. Northern Ireland is treated as part of the UK for shipping, so standard UK delivery options apply instead of the international options on this page.
How long does delivery to Ireland take?
Once dispatched, most parcels reach Ireland within around 5–10 working days, depending on customs and local delivery. This is an estimate, not a guarantee, and busy periods can take longer.
Can I order e-liquid or refill pods to Ireland?
Yes, where permitted, but any order containing e-liquid, nic salts, shortfills or refill pods must be sent using a suitable courier service such as UPS, Parcelforce or another approved courier. Standard shipping cannot be used for liquid orders.
Why is shipping more expensive for orders containing liquid?
Liquid-based vape products cannot always be sent through normal international shipping services. We have to use a suitable courier, and the price charged reflects what it costs us to send the parcel. We are constantly looking for cheaper reliable options.
What happens if I select normal shipping for an order containing e-liquid?
If your order contains e-liquid, refill pods or another liquid-based vape product and normal shipping has been selected, we will not be able to fulfil the order using that service. We will contact you to arrange a suitable courier option before dispatch.
Can I request a specific courier?
For larger orders, we can look into using a courier of your choice where possible. Please contact us before placing the order so we can check availability, pricing and whether the courier can accept the goods.
Will I have to pay customs or import charges?
You may be asked to pay import VAT and a handling fee by the carrier before delivery.
These charges are set by Irish customs and are your responsibility.
We cannot control or waive them.
Please read our Customs & Import Charges page for full details.
What happens if my parcel is returned from Ireland?
If a parcel is returned to us because it was not collected, import charges were refused or the address was incomplete, we will refund the product cost once it arrives back in good condition. Original and return shipping costs may not be refundable.
Can I order if I am under 18?
No. Our products are for adults only. You must be 18 or over to order from Vapour Central, and we reserve the right to cancel orders if we believe this is not the case.
