They might be waiting to see how things work out with the GB landbridge over the next few weeks/months as that would be the fastest & most reliable routing.

When I chased the seller for tracking it showed it had been delivered since the 18th, but of course he had left off the PMid. Staff at my local depot were helpful in tracking it down, but Parcel Motel custy service seems to be gone. Not answering on Twitter for a week now and phone lines are closed. End of an era!

I don't expect Parcel Motel to reinstate their NI address unless it is very easy for them to do so and it is looking like a bit of a legal nightmare.

It will now be returned to the sender." from Royal Mail, same as a poster a few posts back so they're obviously following through on their threat. It was a small inexpensive package from Bulgaria ordered early December. Doesn't bother me loosing the package but poor form giving next to no notice. I'll be closing my account and using Address Pal from now on.

Hope your seller declared them properly as Japan customs can be very awkward to deal with and can ask for additional taxes of returned items. This is based on my experience .

Quackster wrote: » The arrangements for GB to NI post were finally revealed on Friday. Parcels with a value less than £135 will be exempt from having to be declared. Parcels over £135 in value will have to carry the appropriate customs label/documentation. Presumably spot-checks will be carried out on undeclared parcels to ensure their contents are under £135.

I got the email from them to say they were suspending the UK virtual address, suggesting it may come back? They still have the virtual Irish address, which is useless to me. The whole point of it for me was to get items from UK sellers that didn't want to ship internationally. Their part of UPS which you would think had plenty of experience international tax/customs. In the mean time is there any other company offering a forwarding service for packages from the UK?
