Parcel Motel

BlueAndWh1te

IDK if this is the right category or section for this post but I need a little help. I never received an email telling me that parcel motel was shutting down so I (foolishly) got a package delivered to parcel motel in March. I emailed the support email for them and then about 3 weeks later they got back to me with a very general response talking about refunding money on my account and nothing to do with the query I sent. It was from a UPS email address so I decided to call UPS customer service and they have now said they aren't connected to ParcelMotel. I'm assuming at this point my parcel is a lost cause but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do?

I don't have a tracking number for it or anything so I can't check where it ended up.

I want to get some dodgy stuff from Amazon that could result in reputational damage if received by the wrong person. Is their any service similar to parcel motel?

If the good folk of Norn Iron can get their shít together then they have the opportunity to be part of the EU single market and the UK. Never has there been more of a gift horse. No Parcel Motel needed.

Have you tried the post office? If it was dispatched then it must have ended up somewhere.

If should have got sent back to the sender (assuming the sender put a return address on it). Did you check with them?

Amazon Prime members on certain things get free delivery , or there is a cost , or if no price on item you may be out of their postage zone

It was never anything to do with that, some things only delivered to UK only, free UK shipping, collect when you want, etc. Brexit may have killed it off however.

Some of the head honchos from parcel motel setup a similar company after they were bought out by UPS.

Yeah I've started using oohpod since the disaster and it's basically the same just less locations
