Don't often quote my own post but for anyone thinking of ordering this, mine is shipping already.

Used an Irish credit card and parcel forwarding service.

Absolutely no hassle at all with payment

Delighted and I'll be dropping the games to cex as soon as they arrive as I have them already.

Awesome!

Glad you got such a great deal

How do I get Tesco to deliver that Xbox One X to parcel motel? Don't think they delivered to PM with a big console before.

I got a ps4 from amazon through parcel motel before, it was too big for the lockers but you have a choice of picking it up from a nightline depot or having nightline deliver it. Costs a bit extra though, thin it's a tenner for home delivery or like 7 euro for depot pick up.

Which is why you use Parcel Wizard, would've still only cost €4. Got my Destiny 2 CE delivered via PW which is much bigger than the console without any additional charge.

I ordered from them a few weeks ago and they shipped fairly fast but it took over a week to get here because they didn't put the parcel wizard customer number on the console so the games actually arrived before the console despite being shipped 2 days later.

I traded COD in yesterday, they offered €38 cash in CEX and gamestop offered €40 cash but I traded it in against South Park collectors edition and got a €7.51 gift card back too so not bad.

Hopefully that won't happen

Did you have a hard time tracking down the console?

No, I actually didn't realise why it was delayed until it was delivered and I saw the label so DPD must have sorted it out themselves, I'd say they matched the email or phone number to my PW account. It took a couple of days after it was delivered to them to go into the system but I had put that down to being Christmas until I saw the label.

Fair play.

I just checked and my games have been dispatched but the console is showing as ready to dispatch.

Maybe they always split the packages? I'm hoping mine will all at least arrive too.

I think they sent my games with UKmail and the console with Hermes and the games were delivered to PW in 2 days but the console took 4. Once PW had them the games arrived the next day they were open after Christmas but the console took 3 days, the games had my PW ID on them but the console didn't. You should be fine, I'd say they were rushing things out for Christmas when they sent mine and that was what caused it.

Also, don't pay much attention to the tracking on their site because mine still hadn't updated past dispatched when it arrived, you'll get emails from whoever the courier is when they have it in their system which are a lot more accurate.

Supposedly if you turn on auto renewal when buying it they offer you an extra month or 2 free

I know this has been asked before but does that stack? My existing one isn't out until March.

Yeah it does. Mine wasn't out for a few more months just bought 2 x 6 months and got the 1 month free now mines not out till May 2019

Can you buy it straight off with an Irish Debit card or is there some fiddling with the location settings etc?

I could be wrong, but is there something about stacking not working when auto renewal is on?

SuperS54

When I stacked in this way with the auto renew freebie it completed messed up my sub, had to spend quite some time with online support to get it sorted out. There's a thread on it I started if you want to see the details.

Worked fine here. Redeem first six months and get free month by turning auto-renew on when it asks.
Turn auto-renew off and redeem second six months (no option to turn on auto-renew for a free month this time though)

beauf

Can you buy two of these. I don't seem to be able to.

d31b0y

One at a time.

Damn that sucks. Luckily I took the extra month free then straight away disabled auto renewal so...

It keeps asking for a UK billing address.

I never bothered going for this offer but afaik you have to buy a £25 gift card and then you can buy it twice for 1 year.

Put in your normal Address and then use the Parcel Motel postcode.
