    Looking for some advice on which of these virtual address providers or an alternative would be the safest to use for an expensive item to be delivered from Uk to Ireland.

    I gave my eye on a bag that is 880GBP however the retailer doesn't deliver outside of uk.

    I know items are not insured with addresspal so would I be better off using Parcel Motel or Parcel Wizard or not using any of these?

    Any help really appreciated as it is such an expensive item I don't want it to end up lost in transit!

    I have been using ParcelMotel since it started a few years ago.
    I've never had any problems with their service from the UK address,
    Very quick delivery to Dublin, 2- 3 days usually. The insurance for parcels is only €100 though. Recommended over ParcelWizard.

    You can increase the insurance by paying extra for a set period of time.

    I am happy with both companies, so have no obvious one to go for, not sure of PW insurances.

    1 thing to note is UPS now own PM, and DPD own PW. So if the seller was using DPD I would go for PW as I reckon there would be less chance of it going missing.
