    Hi just wondering is it possible to send a 10kg parcel from an An Post post office to a Parcel Motel address?
    I have a 10kg parcel of gifts for my sister and her family and although I have a Parcel Motel address and she has one it's just being a bit of a faff as I don't have a printer and although I topped up my account it doesn't seem to be registering as topped up.
    My question is can I just pop into my local post office and send it to her parcel motel address?

    Don't see why not.

    You just pop the PM'id on the parcel and send it to Finglas.

    Now.

    The thing is, you can send parcels PM to PM, you just send it via PM.

    Hope this helps!

    Tallglass thanks so much. Yes I have it all wrapped up to send but I've spent the last 2hrs trying to get my online top up show up on parcel motel and then the printer is a whole other problem so although more expensive I just think il pop into the local post office and be done with it all.

    All delivery services can deliver to a parcel motel address. But going parcel motel to parcel motel is by far the cheapest

    Thanks to all who advised. To let ye know ye are right Parcel Motel to Parcel Motel was €6:50 and with an Post would have been €20.
    The fault lay with me. I didn't have to top up the account it automatically deducted the money from my registered card when I went through the send a parcel process on the app.
    I got to grips with my new printer eventually and managed to wirelessly print the barcode from the tablet. Thanks again for the advice
