Why would I get it delivered to Parcel Motel when I can get it delivered to a UK Courier to deliver it to me?

Parcel Motel let you use an address in Northern Ireland, and then they deliver it to your local parcel motel where you can collect it at your leisure.

So if Amazon warehouse will deliver what you want to NI, you can get it through parcel motel. First two uses are free so it won't cost you anything.

I don't think you understand what parcel motel do

The reason we are giving you an option of the UK address is that some UK websites offer free delivery to UK addresses only. So if you come across a website like this then why not avail of the free delivery! All you have to pay is the Parcel Motel delivery charge or if it’s one of your first two free drops then it will be completely free!

Unless I am missing something?

The item still need to be collected from Parcelmotel in Finglas ? Great if you live in Dublin but a round trip from west of the Shannon will take a day and 20 + euro in fuel.

No, you collect at the parcel motel nearest you.

The item will be in your local parcel motel or if oversized it will be sent to your local nightline depot. Or else delivered to your door for 10.50. The service is pretty much designed for your situation. What is the item your buying? Then we can advise whether it will fit in the parcel motel. Or else read parcelmotel website for all the information.

There is a large active parcel motel thread going, best post there, or read through as it might already be asked & answered.

You will see the official parcel motel representative posting there, Orla.

I was in a rush to order the item because it was the last one and it was a very good deal! I read abit of the parcel motel thread after posting here but then I couldnt find the NI address on their website and thought I read the business model wrong! I was in a rush and I apologise if I came across as a bit rude

Anyways placed the order with Amazon Warehouse on Wednesday, dispatched and delivered to Parcel Motel NI Thursday. Its awaiting collection from my local Parcel Motel Depot as of 7:15 this morning! Thats excellent service for the price. I know several people that have been frustrated by UK only deliveries in the past so I'll be recommending Parcel Motel to them. Thanks to everyone for the help even if I had blinkers on for a while! :pac:
