Hey man, I haven't used the service yet but the reviews for some stuff I looked at on the site said that it tends to be really fast, as in less than two weeks from posting off money. So probably sooner if you're relaxed enough to use a credit card, I guess the e-gold thing looks safe enough. The site says they process orders within 4 days of receiving payment, and it doesn't take longer than like a week for a package to cross the Atlantic by airmail, so yeah.

Btw there's an Ireland thread a little down the page.
