8 Reasons to Buy from RadioTrader Ireland, for EU and Global Shipping

RadioTrader Ireland is the obvious choice if you’re purchasing two-way radio equipment, especially if you live in the EU or elsewhere around the world. Here’s why!

RadioTrader first began trading in the UK in 2013, building a rock-solid reputation based on our vast, expert knowledge of radio communications, unrivalled customer service, a huge product range and, of course, very competitive prices.

The launch of RadioTrader in Ireland in 2019 was a very natural progression. Since then, we have quickly grown to be the largest independent supplier, as well as the most visible ecommerce platform for two-way radios and equipment in Ireland. 

Our Irish-based business has other benefits, though, which we are eager to pass on to our customers in Europe and indeed, around the world. If you’re dissatisfied with your current supplier, and keen to pay the most competitive prices, here are eight good reasons to buy from RadioTrader Ireland.

1. No Brexit implications

Ireland is a sovereign country, a member of the European Union with unfettered access to trade with other EU nations. When you buy from RadioTrader Ireland, unlike the UK, we have the means to ship your order quickly and conveniently to the furthest corners of Europe.

2. Knowledge of export processes

European and global customers can rest assured that we have many years’ experience of exporting overseas. We offer a full, worldwide export service which includes specialist shipping and dealing with customs. We always use the correct HS tariff codes to reduce customs delays, so your radio equipment arrives when you expect it.

A typical export from RadioTrader is sent DAP (Delivered at Place); however, we also ship using methods such as EX Works and FOB (Free On Board). 

Our shipments can be fully insured for goods in transit. RadioTrader supplies commercial invoices for shipments outside of Europe. 

3. Payment in multiple currencies

We pride ourselves on our ability to quote and accept payments in multiple currencies. If you would like a quotation in a different currency, please do not hesitate to ask. 

European VAT registered companies can also request a VAT-free quotation.

4. Vast range of stock 

You only have to browse the many product categories in our shop to recognise how much we have to offer. We like to claim that we are the “one-stop shop” for two-way communication solutions, and it’s true. 

From digital handsets and mobile radios, to repeaters and marine radio equipment, from the smallest to the largest accessories, we have everything you need under one roof.

5. High quality products from industry-leading brands

In our experience, lower-quality items from “own-brand” labels rarely stand up to regular daily use, and aren’t worth the small saving you might make on the initial purchase.

RadioTrader only stocks high quality, genuine products from industry-leading brands such as Motorola (with whom we enjoy Platinum Partner status), Icom, Hytera and Kenwood. 

6. Best pricing

Owing to the high volumes of equipment that we buy and sell, we’re able to offer the very best prices to our customers. We’re transparent about our pricing, too, which is good news if you get frustrated at having to phone or email a supplier to learn the cost. The price you see on our website is the price you pay - simple! 

Added to all that, we constantly monitor prices. Our Price-Match Promise means we’ll always try to match the price of a product if you find it cheaper elsewhere.  

7. Incredible customer service

We understand that radio equipment can be complicated, so we take pride in our ability to find the right solution for our customers, no matter where they are in the world, and to provide the very best after-sales service, too. 

You’ll see our Radio Geeks logo around the website, which should help you find the most suitable equipment for your needs, but you can also chat to our experts online, by phone or via our Contact Form, where they will freely impart their knowledge and recommendations, backed by many years’ experience.

8. Experienced in shipping marine radio equipment to yacht owners

We sell a great deal of marine equipment, but as you might imagine, the crews of yachts or other sea-going vessels rarely have a static address for long! That’s not a problem - we have a lot of experience of this situation, and can arrange for deliveries to boatyards or marinas around the world. 

Wherever you are in the world, if you want the best, RadioTrader delivers!
