    If I were to order something online and get the seller to ship it to a parcel motel, is it possible to get parcel motel to then ship me the item?

    Thanks.

    Thats exactly how Parcel Motel works - give the seller your PM number and address, and PM deliver it your designated pick up point

    Just to be clear
    My house can be the designated pick up point right?

    No..

    There's are various pick up points all around the country. Most decent sized towns would have one.

    Go to the Parcel Motel website, it tells you exactly how it all works and where the nearest PM point is to you.

    Ah okay, so if I were to get something shipped to parcel motel in northern Ireland, could they then ship it to Dublins parcel motel?

    ??

    Did you read the website?

    The whole idea is to get it delivered as close to you without paying full uk delivery prices.

    I use it The whole time

    I'm trying to purchase Irish DPM, seller does not want to break any laws by shipping it to Ireland. Hence why I was asking if it was possible for it to be shipped to Northern Ireland parcel motel then to Dublins motel.

    Well if its illegal to ship to Ireland it's totally up to parcel motel to make the logistical movement. I don't think you'll get any guarantees here.

    You are obviously aware that
    Its ILLEGAL to own it, wear it, sell it, buy it, no matter what country your in. Irish soldiers don't take kindly to civilians wearing it. And god help any serving or ex irish army soldier PDF or reserve caught wearing it airsofting. So civilians you've been told and Soliders you've been warned!

    I'd be interested if law enforcement actually enforced it. I've seen one or two people wearing it casually around Dublin, one of the most idiotic laws in history.
    Such a beautiful DPM aswell..

    I would think that line covers it, but would also not expect PM to list every single obscure item which is illegal.

    It is against the forum rules
