The top prize was a direct return flight between Lithuania and Ireland for one person, to be taken at a time that suited the winner. Ten more customers each won free carriage of a parcel of up to 30 kg in either direction between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>Entry was automatic for anyone who sent a parcel weighing 30 kg or more, and the free carriage prizes had to be used before 31 December that year. <strong>The draw closed long ago<\/strong> and the winners were announced at the time. The post stays in the archive as a small piece of company history and as a thank-you to the customers who supported the business in its early years.<\/p>\n<h2>Five years then, many more since<\/h2>\n<p>M&amp;V Transport Ltd. is a company registered in Ireland, based in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. It started trading in March 2008, which is why 2013 was its fifth birthday and 2018 brought its tenth anniversary. From the outset the focus has been the same: carrying parcels and freight between Lithuania, Ireland and Northern Ireland, in both directions.<\/p>\n<p>If you are new to the service, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/about-us\/\">about us page<\/a> gives a fuller picture of the company. The rest of this page sets out the practical side: how sending works, what it costs and how to prepare.<\/p>\n<h2>How the route works for newcomers<\/h2>\n<p>The key thing to know is that there are departures from Ireland and from Lithuania <strong>every week<\/strong>. Rather than guessing when the next run might be, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/\">home page<\/a>, where the nearest dates are always shown. Clicking a date takes you straight into the order form.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the service is door to door. Your parcel is collected from the address you provide and delivered to the address you specify at the other end, whether that is in Lithuania, the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. If it suits you better, there are also two places in Ireland where parcels can be left or picked up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baltica shop Ltd, Unit 2, Garryglass, Limerick, a Lithuanian food shop (phone +353 857 346 190);<\/li>\n<li>National Enterprise Park, Clonminam, Portlaoise, Co. Laois.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Goods travel with a team of experienced drivers and are covered by carrier&#8217;s liability insurance under the CMR Convention. Payment can be made by the sender or by the recipient, and invoices are issued where needed.<\/p>\n<h2>What it costs to send a parcel<\/h2>\n<p>The birthday prize was free carriage of up to 30 kg, but most of the time you will be paying the standard rates. Between Lithuania and Ireland, in either direction, they work like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a minimum charge of \u20ac45, covering 25 kg;<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac1.80 per kg up to 100 kg;<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac1.50 per kg above 100 kg;<\/li>\n<li>larger consignments priced by agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Northern Ireland uses the same figures in pounds sterling. There are also set prices for many common items. A child&#8217;s bicycle is \u20ac40, a lawnmower \u20ac60, a mattress \u20ac70 or \u20ac120, a fridge \u20ac120 to \u20ac160, a corner sofa \u20ac350 to \u20ac550, and a television is charged at \u20ac1.30 per inch. Motorbikes are \u20ac350 to \u20ac500, and motocross bikes \u20ac200 to \u20ac250. These prices apply from 1 April 2026; the complete list is on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/prices\/\">prices page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving home or shipping something big<\/h2>\n<p>Not every shipment fits in a box. If you are relocating between Ireland and Lithuania, M&amp;V Transport offers house removals, transport of small and large consignments from 1 kg to 24 tonnes, between 1 and 33 euro pallets as well as non-standard pallets, full and part loads, and storage if your belongings need somewhere to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles are covered too. Cars, minibuses and motorhomes can be transported, along with construction machinery. For cars going from Ireland to Lithuania, prices start at \u20ac800, or \u20ac900 for SUVs and people carriers; the car is dropped off in Portlaoise, collected in Marijampol\u0117, and its logbook is required. Within Ireland itself, the team also handles city-to-city transport and local jobs. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/services\/\">services page<\/a> has the details, and you can ask any questions through the <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/contacts\/\">contacts page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Packing tips that make a difference<\/h2>\n<p>Remember that any single item in your consignment can weigh no more than 30 kg, so heavy loads should be spread over several boxes. Choose a box that suits the contents, tape it firmly, pad out any gaps and keep breakable items in the centre with a &#8222;FRAGILE&#8221; mark on the outside. Each parcel should be strong enough to carry another on top. Label it clearly with the recipient&#8217;s address and more than one phone number. Some goods cannot be sent at all, including tobacco, alcohol, medicines and fireworks, and locked suitcases are not accepted. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/packing\/\">packing page<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/mvtransport.lt\/en\/regulations\/\">regulations<\/a> explain the rules in full.<\/p>\n<p>Regular senders can also join the loyalty scheme. Ask the courier for a customer discount card when you book a shipment, then activate it by filling in the form on the website. Cardholders receive discounts, exclusive offers and entry into prize draws.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I still enter the fifth birthday prize draw?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The draw was held in 2013 to celebrate five years of M&amp;V Transport and closed a long time ago. The winners were announced at the time, and the free carriage prizes had to be used before 31 December of that year. This post remains as part of the company&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<h3>When was M&amp;V Transport founded?<\/h3>\n<p>M&amp;V Transport started trading in March 2008. It celebrated its fifth birthday in 2013 and its tenth anniversary in 2018. The company is registered in Ireland, and its address is 7 Brockra Walk, Bellingham, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, Ireland.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you deliver to Northern Ireland as well?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. M&amp;V Transport carries parcels and freight between Lithuania, Ireland and Northern Ireland in both directions. Prices for Northern Ireland follow the same figures as for Ireland, but they are charged in pounds sterling rather than euros.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know when the next departure is?<\/h3>\n<p>The nearest departure dates from Ireland and from Lithuania are always listed on the home page, and there are departures every week. When you find a date that works for you, click it and the order form will open so you can book your collection.<\/p>\n<h3>Is my shipment insured?<\/h3>\n<p>Goods are covered by carrier&#8217;s liability insurance under the CMR Convention. Good packing still matters, though: under point 6 of the regulations, a badly packed parcel may be accepted, but the company is not responsible for its safety. Follow the packing guidance to protect your belongings.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I contact M&amp;V Transport?<\/h3>\n<p>You can call +370 686 81182 or +353 857 055100, email info@mvtransport.lt, or send a message through the M&amp;V Transport Facebook page. Contact details are also listed on the contacts page of this website, so you can find them whenever you need them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of our 5th birthday we would like to present a trip from Lithuania to Ireland and back, or vice versa, by direct flight for one person at a time convenient to you.
