    You may be paying for volume, not weight - check with other internet retailers how much they charge for shipping wheels to Ireland or try and find an 'overland' service i.e. by truck not plane.

    Parcel Farce (as we used to call it when I worked for a well-known camera retailer that had to used said courier to deliver our goods) are expensive for such a thing. Parceline do it for cheaper I believe - though they are worse than Parcel Farce in my experience......
