Sending goods across the Irish Sea shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you're a manufacturer shipping parts to a contractor in Dublin, or a private client needing boxes delivered to Cork, we make cross-border courier services simple, transparent, and fully accountable.
At Venture Logistics, we offer collection from anywhere in Essex or Suffolk, with direct delivery to the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland — handled professionally from start to finish.
We deliver to any location in Ireland - this is an expensive service due to the ferry charge - prices also vary during the year.
See our list (pop-up window) of places we we deliver to in Ireland, along with prices.
We promote a transparent pricing structure, we never add hidden extra's or addons at the last minute, and everthing is included. For Ireland the price includes the M6 toll charge and return ferry trip.
Goods-in-Transit and Public Liability Insurances are included too, as is access to our online tracking.
Unlike our other services we can't deliver before 10 AM - while using the M6 Toll limits hold ups a lot, the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin is often running late, and harsh weather conditions limit the speed it can travel at.
We normally respond within an hour, and we'll send a Xero Quotation by email.
Thank you to every customer that sent us a review.
"Lee has assisted us with several drops from our base in Colchester into central London all of which landed on time and safely. A true professional who clearly goes the extra mile for his own customers and also our customers."
"I booked Venture Logistics for a same-day pickup from our address to a friend in Northampton. I got photo confirmation when the package was delivered the next morning. Brilliant service — I’ll be using them regularly now."
"Fantastic same-day collection from our Chelmsford site — I needed urgent paperwork delivered in Birmingham and Venture handled it smoothly. Tracked delivery, polite driver, and no hassle. Great to have a reliable local courier."
"We had been let down by three different courier companies — so I was cautious about trying someone new. But Venture Logistics impressed me right away. Prompt collection, clear communication, and not a scratch on the consignment."
Absolutely. We deliver to all parts of Ireland including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast, and beyond. Our service includes full cross-border support.
Delivery times depend on location, but most jobs reach Ireland by the next working day, because we'll factor the time into when we leave, about 1AM.
The A14 - M6 is particularly difficult at the moment due to (A14) roadworks, and the M6 is slow from about 7 AM, and particularly difficult heading toward the M6 - M42 junction. We use the M6 toll road.
The journey to Holyhead usually takes 6 hours +. The ferry takes between 2 and 4 hours, dependant on weather.
Our goal is to reach Holyhead by 7 AM, Dublin by 9 - 10 AM, which gives us 7 hours to deliver to any location in Ireland.
The expensive part is the ferry cost, ranging between £150 and £450. The prices shown here reflect the most you can expect to pay - we can't provide an accurate quote before we know a customer requires this service, because the ferry costs fluctuate.
Yes it is. We have a sophisticated system that monitors our vehicles 24/7/365, it's available online, access is provided to all customers at no additional cost. The system uses a simple map, that shows the location of the vehicle assigned to your delivery.
The login is available via the menu at the top of this page, and you'll be given the username and password in the quotation document.
For trips to Ireland, we'll always collect the day before, usually before 11 AM.
For deliveries to Ireland we take a 50% deposit before collection.
Sadly we've been let down by previous customers who've decided not to pay after delivery.
We'd rather not take the job, if it means taking the risk of non-payment.
We'll deliver anything so long as it's legal, and non perishable, so nothing chilled or frozen, we're also unable to take any dangerous goods.
Our primary services are "fast response" based, so we're limited by weight (max 600kg) and length (2 metres).
If you have any fragile items, please lets us know, so we can take extra care.
