Parcel Motel Thread (post all related questions here)

If I buy an item off ebay.co.uk and get it sent to the Antrim branch but still want it down here in Tipp/Limerick, How do I do so? Do I put the Finglas branches address or what? I've heard it's been done by a poster over in the cycling forum but would like confirmation and a process to do so?

Have been using Parcel Motel and think its a great service but I have found one flaw.

Twice I have ordered items from different sites , both times ordering and paying for 2 of the same item and both times only received one item in the package. Both companies had agreed to send on the 2nd item with no further expense but as I had used Parcel Motel I had to pay for the two extra stays.

I had asked both companies to deliver the second item to my home address but they couldn't

No fault at all on the behalf of Parcel Motel but it was another expense I hadn't expected.

This question has been answered a million times in the thread and on the Parcel Motel website.

Huh?

And, if you took any heed you'll notice this is my first time posting in this thread. How am I to know what questions have and haven't been answered?

If you're not going to help, then please f off..

I suggest you go to Parcelmotel.com and click the How it Works tab or you could search this thread.

No need to be rude. There is a search function for this thread, and also it's explained on the PM website.

You fill in the Antrim address if you want the company to give you free/cheaper UK shipping (if available) and they deliver it to your chosen motel for the 3.50 charge.

If there's no advantage to using the Antrim address (cheaper/free shipping) and/or you are using it for the convenience factor then you may as well use the Finglas address.

Thank you BroLo, that was the answer I was looking for. Wasn't clear on the UK side of things was all.

Wasn't being rude, the poster got frustrated when I asked a question was all.

Telling someone to F off is being quite rude. They got frustrated, understandably so because you asked a question which has been answered multiple times in this thread and a quick search of either the thread or the website would have given you your answer.

Saying, if your not going to be helpful then don't respond or something like that would have been a more respectable way to phrase it, rather then F off.

RidleyRider

Am not going to clog up this thread with this but, why not just reply in the first place and say 'if you do a quick thread search there is plenty of answers for that question' instead of his reply? Courtesy is a two way street.

Anyway BrLo, thanks for your reply.

Amazon are being so annoying with regards to parcel motel, they are just splitting every single order I make these days, screw them. I specifically chose products that amazon themselves send and all. You just never know when they will do it until it is sent grr. Even if they say it will be sent in one packet it is not.

Its the complete opposite for me. They are combining orders into one box for me. I had around 10 open orders all arrive in 1 box. Was handy enough, just shows you never really know how they will arrive.

Never had a split order,they are all bundled in 1 box .

About the one that's being installed in Galway at the 'Newcastle Topaz', I was wondering which Topaz this is exactly. There are two in very close proximity.

Is it the one next to the centennial bridge (behind Kingfisher gym) or the one next to Aldi (With the peugeot dealer?). I think latter one is more westside but I don't really know the boundaries of the different areas withing Galway.

Just a note of caution guys. My second ever PM order and my first from Tesco Direct has gone missing. PM say they need a proof of delivery and Tesco told me to wait ten days which is up tomorrow. Don't really know what to do. I'd guess Tesco messed up the address by leaving out the PMID. Orla it's a Christmas present for my brother (Batman Trilogy) can you save our Christmas?

Damn you guys! I usually get things in one box but lately it is crazy. I even was ordering dearer options just to get them in one box.

The later one would be westside/rahoon. I'd imagine it's the one on quincentennial bridge.
Can't wait for it to open!

I've just ordered 90% of my presents from boots.co.uk and had them shipped to PM! I'm really hoping they feckin' fit in the locker!!!

lilmissprincess

How much time goes between it getting to the PM in the north, and you getting a delivery text? Just paranoid about using it for my little brothers Christmas present, Amazon have shown it delivered to Antrim this morning...

Normally it takes only one day.

Hi there, here's a link to our How It Works video which is the best way of explaining it I think

Very excited! I have created the Newtownabbey address as a dispatch address for Amazon, which then has allowed me to order from a UK seller that wouldn't post to Ireland.

Brilliant, I can't wait to pick up my first parcel in the next week or so! Thanks Parcelmotel and thanks Orla!

Has anyone tried ordering the new entry level Kindle using Parcel Motel ?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007HCCOD0/

£69 = about €85 compared to €110 in Tesco's or from Amazon.com :eek:

They don't give the dimensions for it packed, only the item itself on the site, it should be ok but was wondering if anyone else had successfully got one before taking the plunge.

Just to let you know the new kindle is €82 in Argos and probably elsewhere.


Great to hear that the Cork motels are finally open. Now just to decide what to order.....

No the PMID doesn't change but if you log in to your account and go to Account Area (at the top of the page beside the Home button) then click on Account Details and My Details and under Choose A Motel you will see your chosen Parcel Motel location. If you need any help with it, PM me your PMID.
