Default Service items - Who will post to NI

Alright chaps, just looking to do a service on my 2011 D5. I'm looking genuine Volvo items, the 6ltrs of A5/B5 and all the filters but struggling to get postage to NI, I'm assuming it's the weight of the oil. Nearest dealer is over 80 miles away so would prefer to buy online. Does anyone know of a reputible online source that would post to NI? TIA

+1 for Opie Oils. They deliver to NI, but be aware, there's a weight limit of 10kg.

I'm not sure if they do "genuine" parts, but they definitely sell high quality aftermarket from brands like Bosch and Mahle. As for oils, they sell the right spec (A5/B5) and viscocity that you're looking for, but its not "genuine". They deliver to NI, but be aware, there's a weight limit of 10kg. Remember, its the spec and grade of oil that matters the most. You can buy whatever brand you want, so long as its A5/B5 0w30.

1litre of oil weighs around 1kilo according to their site. So if you need 6 litres of oil, that's 6 kilos approx and then all the other service bits too.

Its possible, due to weight, you may have to get all you need in two parcels and pay the courier charges for each parcel.

According to their site, its £8.95 per parcel up to 10kg to deliver to NI. So if its above that weight, its going to cost more.

Just make sure you double check everything before you order (if you do order), as sending stuff back could be a pain.

If you don't fancy doing that, is there any chance you can arrange a courier to collect items from the nearest dealership and then deliver them to you? I know it won't be cheap, but that might be an option? You'd have to ask the dealership first though.
