Hi, been following this thread the last couple of weeks, cheers for all tips! Just registered an account this evening to ask a question about parcel motel, received a few items this week with them and have more on route just wondering do they deliver to their lockers on weekdays?

Cheers

They do but it can take some time. I sent one non prime order there last week. Parcel arrived to them on Monday but only made it to my locker today.

2 orders from Tuesday received today - a echo dot (gift for my sister) delivered direct from Amazon. Headphones via parcel motel arrived into my locker last night.
Waiting to see if I’ll get the whisky order via PM - due to be delivered to NI today but was delayed.
Another order fire tablet direct to my house expected Tuesday.

If it's a generic Amazon box, how would they know what's in it?

Ordered beers from Brewdog, Beer52 etc before to PM/PW.

We shouldn't.. but we do..

I've had gin delivered multiple times to PW in packaging that said what it was on the box. Only thing is, if they lose it you wouldn't be insured so you take the risk.

Once, in fact, they did lose my package for a day and asked what was in it and there was no comment when I said what it was other than that they'd put the trace out to find it (and they did and delivered it the next day)

Amazon used to just ship it normally. Now they do an ID check and its enforced, the drive will ID somebody so that tells PM what it is.

Parcel Motel took my Red Breast Whiskey from Amazon - Amazon clearly marked the plain wrapper with a big sticker as containing Alcohol.

I had to go to some customs guy in Blanchardstown and plead my case - they were going destroy it as he said I might be importing it to sell :?? wha? - but they eventually released it before they drank destroyed it.


Funnily enough - I've since found out you can get it cheaper from Jameson's Distillery locally in Dublin (about 60 euros) than from Amazon sales.

.

I ordered something on Tuesday, expected delivery on Monday, which then slipped to Tuesday....and now I have just received a notification that it's arriving today.

I got 250 little baby bottle of Jager delivered through PM for my wedding 2018. Couldn’t be got here at that time. No problems.

Recently, during lockdown I got mini taps and 12 mini kegs delivered through PM too.

My prime is up for renewal tomorrow. Most of my primeday purchases haven't dispatched yet. Does anyone know if I cancel my prime today would they cancel my primeday deals/charge me full price?

I'd assume it's your status at time of ordering

I ordered yesterday morning with a delivery date of Thursday. It was dispatched yesterday afternoon and the delivery date changed to Monday. It arrived today. Hopefully one day delivery will become more common.

Just had a look at my outstanding bits. They're sending me a replacement 3rd generation dot with clock as my 9 month old one is acting up and resets haven't fixed it. Dispatched yesterday due 27 October!! Coming from Germany for some reason

Their issue is as much with it being liquid as anything else. If a bottle or bottles smash in transit wetting everything else, they could well get grief from customers about the condition of the other packages. DPD say that they don’t ship liquids as well. They won’t entertain a claim if it gets broken

Something I only read about today is Households..

Looks like you can share your benefits with your partner (or kids) at no additional cost.

I already have a Household setup with the missus on Prime so handy to just pay the one fee for benefits!

They did indeed (for some). Haven't got a chance to use yet.

But someone bought it at £70 or thereabouts recently on thread here and used it, and seemed to be impressed.

That is so handy. Thanks for the heads up. No need for two prime accounts in the house now.
