    Just keep checking Amazon on an almost daily basis, get a feel for what the standard prices are, and when you see a very good deal, go for it!

    2 x GU10 White Ambience is down to 36.33£ and is part 3 for 2 promotion. This brings the bulb to about 12£ (if you buy 6).

    Will have to use a UK address, but not sure about payment options if it has to match.

    Yes, UK residential address at that. Business addresses not allowed.. You can only enter the uk post code and accept the choice of addresses it offers. You are asked for the house name or number, at which point you can use your Parcel Motel number or other service number. You also enter your name. After all this it presents you with the payment options and the address, minus the PM number, and says card address should match. Even if you had an account such as Revolut and configured a PM address, it's not clear what the final delivery address on the package will be. Also the post code utility on the website did not offer parcel motel's address as one of the options, it only offers unit 1b and others, but not 1a. I gave up after payment option. Pity, there was a discount code with a further £10 off.

    Did you try AddressPal or Parcel wizard?

    I'm not subscribed to either, the problem is you can't manually enter a business address, the post code gadget just gives the location ( incorrectly for PM) , but theres no way to enter the word "ParcelMotel" or the PM number, though I did try entering these as the home name or number, and after all that your payment address must match the partial address the system displays back. Try it out yourself, use the address pal postcode.

    20% off Philips colour and white hue bulks/kits in both the UK and Ireland Dixon Travel (airport) shops when you buy any google home device.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,053 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    the philips lightstrip plus is also in B&Q Limerick store @ 47 euro - marked price, so it is probably in all stores.

    I didn't have time to check pricing on other hue products to see if they had been reduced or not - the guy at the till didn't know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 176 ✭✭djivide_


    Don't suppose you saw the price of the lightstip extensions when in B&Q ?

    I was there last night myself, they had 1 box left on display, I think the newer boxes have a pinkish display and the old one a blueish colour, but it's still a lightstrip plus.

    Not the best of deals as everything is full RRP & you’ll probably have to give the Parcel Motel address.

    Google home mini and chromecast bundle deal will require parcel motel or the like unless you pick up on your travels.
