    Sounds like the original three free deliveries was the better deal!

    I know! They gave me about 5 or 6 free stays (from friends and helping people online) but no damn slippers!

    Some companies... The cheek....

    The free stays just seem cheap now. It was quick thrill but ultimately I feel disappointed. Slippers however, I'd still be using them now.

    We all had the chance to get a free mug and t shirt a while back. Got mine, mug is still used.

    I thought they free stay for the gifts was free, did he contact PM about a refund for the charge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller

    or Slippers....

    This. I didn't care about the free gift but I wanted to know how the damn thing works. Seeing as I never got the free gift, or a text about it I'm guessing I fupped something up. Therefore, I don't trust ordering to it in case my gear goes missing. :confused:

    Bought a Hoover off Donedeal from a seller in Cork who posted it to me in Dublin via Parcel Motel, I checked out DPD and Nightline and they quoted €21-23 to courier it, with Parcel Motel the job got done in under 24 hours for €6.50. My only problem was convincing some oul boy in Cork to set up a PM account, print out a label, scan the barcode and post it. He got through it all and sent me a text saying how good it is, I told him about the Belfast trick for UK purchases with lower VAT and usually free delivery, he said he'd definitely be using it again !

    Now Parcel Motel, I've won you a new customer, where's my feckin slippers !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭Tripp


    Long time customer here. The OH signed up for the free gift and got a pair of slippers, 2 chocolates and a towel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,382 ✭✭✭firestarter51


    i only got a hand towel :-(


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    I use it quite a bit and got nothing :(
    Maybe cause I'm in Cork?


    The dubs get all the luck!

  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,630 ✭✭✭✭antodeco

    The gift is for people who have signed up for PM but never used it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Buddy97mm


    I haven't used Parcel Motel for quite a while, but did use it maybe 5/6 times in early days. Receive random text this morning from PM, advising parcel ready for collection and, lo and behold, package with slippers, towel and a few chocolates waiting for me. Nice!


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 28,536 Mod ✭✭✭✭Cabaal


    Never got any free gifts :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,648 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    I never get freebies. Love Parcel Motel though such a great idea and well run.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭Sam Mac


    I got the slippers and chocolate but no hand towel .. the b@stards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭Thewife


    Never got my free gift ; (




  • I don't need no stinking free gift!! Their excellent service and price are more than enough for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Big Lar


    I don't need no stinking free gift!! Their excellent service and price are more than enough for me.

    Wouldn't it be nice to have their excellent service and price AND the free gift thou ?




  • No that's greedy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭Thewife


    No that's greedy.


    When I originally signed up a few days later I received a email asking me to reply to a different email address to claim my free gift.. I didnt ask for a free gift , they offered. . The gift has never arrived..


    Im sure if someone was wanting to give you something for free you happily accept ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,817 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Haven't used PM yet but did sign up on launch.

    Got email today about the gift, hopefully the slippers will do someone for a christmas gift.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,790 ✭✭✭maguic24


    Anyone else get this email? Wonder what it is?

    Just signed up with them there and yup got the email. I can't believe I only heard about parcel motel recently! I buy loads of sh*t online and it does cost me a fortune on postage from the UK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,564 ✭✭✭Deep Thought


    Early adopter, used loads of times..never got any gift...:(

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.
