Atavan-Halen

Just collected a game I ordered from the rathfarnham PM there a while ago. Got free postage from amazon using the uk address and had no problems at all picking it up. Just entered my phone number and the pin which i got in a text and the locker popped open. Fantastic service and will definitely be using it again!

Wexford and Carlow are in the same phase as Limerick so all I can tell you right now, is that it will be in the next 2 months. In plenty of time for the Christmas shopping. Only 70 shopping days left 'til Christmas!

Wexford wooh! Can you say whether it's wexford town (please!!!), or somewhere in the back of nowhere like Gorey or New ross..

How exactly does it work if sending a package to the antrim motel, and then I want to pick it up in Dublin. As in, how do they know to send it onwards.

When you register you designate a "Motel", your nearest one ideally, to be the pick up spot. When a package comes in with your ID on it, they can see that you have designated said Motel and will drop your packages there.

Lads I'm not being funny but everything you need to know is on their website.

Just something to watch out for, spent ages trying to buy an item on ebay.co.uk only fo finally spot under Postage that the seller does not post to NI. It was hidden under- Post to: United Kingdom See delivery location exclusions-

Kept thinking it was something to do with the way I was changing my postage address to PM. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

After spotting this I ordered from another seller with no problems (fingers crossed) roll on my text from PM to tell me my item is ready for collection.

Collected an oversize package from Finglas on Saturday. Very happy with the service, well worth the EUR 3.50. Even though my first visit was free.

Funilly enough I came home to find one in the post for me too.

I don't really see the point of it though when I can just log in to their website and see the same info though?

Yeah but realistically when would anybody be using this service when they're not sitting at a computer?

When ordering by post, in person, over the phone, when someone else is ordering on your behalf you have the info in your wallet.

I'm sure there are more scenarios than those ones I just took off the top of my head.

I know Orla answered your question, but where did you get Ballsbridge from?

Edit: Now I see! The location shown on the ParcelMotel map is way off - by more than 2km!

Explains why i wasted nearly an hour today looking for a fictional place:)
Might have better luck tomoro with the right address.
2km is some way off tho. The site should be updated to reflect the true coordinates.


Wow just put it into google. Thats some error. An some walk tomoro!!

I'm trying to verify my mobile phone but I keep getting "The mobile number you entered has already been registered." Is somebody else using my number or what

No it's my 1st and only account


Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change the phone number on the site ? Thinking of using my parent's/sister's phone number for the registration/verification process and then changing it afterwards to my own number. Wouldn't want the PIN getting sent to their phones everytime I order
