Hermes is best known in Germany for domestic parcels and its dense PaketShop network; on international routes it ships via its European partner network, so options and transit times to Ireland can differ noticeably from a domestic Hermes parcel. That makes this exact corridor a textbook case for comparing: depending on size and weight, DPD, GLS or DHL often carry a parcel to Ireland faster or cheaper — and sometimes Hermes still wins on price for small, light shipments.
Good to know for this corridor: there is no customs paperwork between Germany and Ireland — the EU single market treats your parcel like a domestic shipment, with no import duties on either side. The route works in both directions too, so returns from Ireland back to Germany run just as smoothly. Only weight, dimensions and the service level decide the price.
One more tip: whoever carries your parcel, you'll want one place to watch it.
