Yes, you'll be able to collect at our Limerick depot for no extra charge. The Nightline Limerick depot is in Crossagalla Industrial Estate, Ballysimon Rd.

Great service- Just wondering when we can send via parcel Motel. I read it was something in the pipeline?

That would be fantastic alright... I also got a question in the survey about companies having a 'deliver to parcelmotel' option, straight to your PMID.

That would also be handy to have.

Was answered somewhere in here, hopefully implemented by the new year I think?

When trying to order from Uniqlo in the UK I came across this warning;

Currently we do not deliver anywhere outside the UK and unfortunately no exceptions can be made. However, we are hoping to expand our shipping options to include Mainland Europe in the very near future. We also reserve the right not to deliver orders if we believe the address is not secure, for example, to a communal postal address or PO Box. If this affects an order you place, we will notify you as soon as possible.

Has anyone come across this before and would it mean ordering through Parcel Motel would not work?

Hi Orla,

Just collected my first parcel from the motel. Excellent service and really impressed. Keep up the great work.

Think it would be a good idea to make smaller motels for the smaller towns that won't need the big lockers this way people wouldn't need to travel that far to the nearest one,closest one to me is 20 mins away and the portlaoise one will be 15 mins.Think a small motel in portarlington would be used as it's a big enough town.

I doubt the cost of the locker is the driver of the decisions as to where lockers are located.

Its the amount of traffic you can expect the lockers to use to make it worthwhile having deliveries made.

I would imagine that he is referring to them not delivering to the NI address?

or maybe they consider it a 'communal postal address'.

@Parcel Motel: Orla: I had goods shipped to UK parcelmotel address. My account got credit deducted this morning. Can I expect the package in my Dublin parcelmotel this evening or tomorrow? Or are deliveries to ParcelMotel from UK Mon - Fri?

Exactly, is a Parcel Motel considered the same as a PO box or communal postal address and as such couldn't be used?
