    Having some big problems with parcel motel,

    I ordered a phone from amazon uk, this day last week. It arrived in parcel motel friday the 1st of Augest and now sign of it since. I have my amazon shipping document, including the full address and my PM id and I have the royal mail tracked service showing it was sent to, and signed for, by parcel motel

    I emailed them today about it and they are "looking for it in the warehouse". The guy said it might have come in with no PM id, which i mailed back that it was on the shipping document, havnt heard back from then since

    Anyone have a suggestion for the next step? I was going to just post the whole thing up on their facebook page since that might get some more attention because I'm really pissed off over this. Says to wait at least 8 hours before it gets checked in and its been 4 working days now

    I could always ring Joe Duffy :P

    Hmm, did i ever mention the time i got someone else's delivery in my motel? No joke by the way.

    Just got a response from the manager. Because my name wasn't on the parcel it was held in the query area, which is strange because my PM ID is on the package, it will be interesting to see what arrives down and if its been opened or not

    Thats 2 incidents in a week now, the first being a poster tube that was cancelled and uncancelled for being oversized and now this.

    If it was a random ebay seller or something I wouldnt mind but its from amazon so I'm pretty sure they are spot on with getting the full address on the item they send

    EDIT

    Just like I thought....****ing mauled!

    700881


    If the actual phone box is damaged or opened I'll have to get amazon to get onto them and get parcel motel to replace it, so ****ing unprofessional

    I got a brand new (valuable) oscilloscope via Parcel Motel today, was a bit nervous after reading the reports here but arrived in perfect condition thankfully - and spared a fortune on shipping costs !!

    A few complaints on here about Parcel Motel lately, being able to collect someone elses parcel would put me off using it... I know they're prob isolated incidents, but seems like with things being damaged, opened packages, other peoples parcels in your locker etc that the service is suffering lately.

    Price gone up and it seems the service quality has taken a nose dive. I wonder what's going on? Have they used the additional funds to hire more people (who are currently in training and crappy?)

    Happened to me ages ago. I rang them and I ended up dropping it back in a motel when I was collecting another package.

    The ratio of popularity of the service to budget for decent staff I'd imagine.

    Not wow.
    much sarcasm
    very pantry
    etc...

    I actually haven't been in contact with them by email myself, it's friends of mine who have had problems with the service, one guy was waiting for a full week for a reply even though he had a 1TB hard drive stolen from his package.

    (Turned out the package weighed less than it should when PM received it, so it was either the courier amazon used or someone in amazon that stole it.)

    But 1 full week to get a reply? Screw that.

    He had rang them first and was told to send the pictures in via email btw.

    The only time I had a problem was when that brute forced an oversized package into the small locker! :p

    It looks like a nice place, they need gold wallpaper though to really pull it off

    It's gas, you mentioned that place to me before and I hadn't a notion where you were talking about.

    Gave it a google and realized not only do I know it, I've been in countless times over the years! Just didn't realize what it was called. :D

    It was known as 'that shop with all the cakes in the window'

    Honestly, who really wants a Power Ranger videogame?
    The show is utter sh1te!
    Next thing it'll be a My Little Pony MMORPG!

    If you're going to play videogames based on kids shows, make it this one!
