    Quick question...
    I am ordering 3 items from Amazon UK from the amazon warehouse. I am getting them delivered via Parcel Motel. Its 3.50 I know BUT is that per item? So will it cost 3.50 for the 3 items delivered via PM OR 10.50 for the 3 items delivered.

    Thanks.
    Ronan.

    It'll depend on how many parcels Amazon dispatch - if they dispatch 3 parcels, you'll be charged for 3 stays at the Parcel Motel

    Is there a way of finding that out before check out?

    I don't think so - you can have the option to 'Group my order into as few deliveries as possible' but ultimately it'll be up to Amazon and whenever they get your specific items to the dispatch center

    It's annoying actually. Not too long after a charge increase and they removed my local lockers and made it an in-store collection. Stuck in a queue to collect items of which was an even longer delay waiting for the poor girl to find out where an earlier staff member chucked it to a random location behind the counter. There was a fair few PM packages all along the back wall. But it was more annoying to get no notice of it. Just one day on a Saturday they were there. Went along the following Tuesday and they were gone.

    You are not alone. My local lockers were removed recently. I have had one shop assistant telling me 'they can't find it' One tip - use a female assistant - they are more attentive !
