They actively promote PM to their Irish users so should pay the cost of the first PM

Hardly grounds. Use of Parcel Motel and indeed Flubit, is actively endorsed here on Bargain Alerts. Are we equally liable?
It was an option, it was the OP's choice whether or not to exercise that option.

There's a difference between boards and flubbit.


Flubit actively encourage users to use PM and make money from the transaction.
As far as i know, boards makes no money from us using flubit and there is therefore no contract for goods or services bought.

As far as I'm aware, Flubit make no commission from Parcel Motel, therefore would make the same amount on a transaction sent to any UK address. It's purely an option, possibly identified by their interaction with Boards users who were already using Parcel Motel to access the site. It's a moot point as to who benefits most from the situation. Who would you identify as at fault if the OP had had the item addressed to a relative in NI and had driven north to collect the parcel, would you expect Flubit to refund his petrol expenses.? Flubit have offered to refund his return postage which is presumably what they would do for any UK customer, I don't recall their having insisted he post it back from NI although they presumably have a bulk arrangement with Royal Mail.

I ordered a portable DVDplayer on monday £8 cheaper than Amazon and it arrived in my PM last night.

It was sent courer.:D
