I ordered an Echo Show on Wednesday, and it’s not due to be delivered until November 4th :mad:

Mine is coming sometime between 5th and 10th Nov. and echo dot is coming 7th December so you are doing better than me, does anyone know if the black friday offers are generally better.than the prime, I'm might cancel these.

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.

Waiting to see if I’ll get the whisky order via PM - due to be delivered to NI today but was delayed.

I thought PM don't accept alcohol?

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)

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..

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.

.

Package today was from an Amazon driver not an post.

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?

Same here. Ordered on Wednesday with expected delivery this coming Tuesday. My package arrived a few minutes ago.

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.

Parcel motel have an issue with alcohol, refuse it, parcel Wizard don't. I ship brewdog once a month with parcel Wizard

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

did they honour that projector? be curious to see if its any good, i may have just banjaxed my blackview max 1 projector phone, already replaced screen on it twice ..
