Does Parcel Motel do this?

Yeah they sign for them. I've ordered a couple of things in the past that were signed for. No problems there.

Atomic Pineapple · 23-03-2014 06:07PM

Yes as Techguy says it will be signed for at Parcel Motel.

balfe1990 · 23-03-2014 06:22PM

Hi lads,

any idea how long delivery would take with this? My sister wants to buy a netbook but I'm trying to dissuade her and try to get her to buy this.

Problem is, she's moving abroad on Monday week and I'm wary that she wont get it in time. I have faith in Parcel Motel, Tesco, I'm not so sure. Might this get here in under a week?

If ordered today I'd say she'll have it Thursday or Friday.

What's the story with the billing address for the card? Tesco asks for a postcode but my billing address is an Irish address.

What do ye usually do?

You'll need to use parcel motels NI address. When signing up put your first name as your Pm ID (e.g PMOneTwoThreeFourFive) as it does not accept numbers in the name field and your surname as your full name (eg. John Doe) . Then when you've registered and added it to the cart you can edit your name on the delivery info to include numbers e.g PM 12345.

Fantastic laptop for the price however on one of the reviews I viewed the guy commented that the inbuilt nic was limited to 100mbps. With the standard now being 1gbps and broadband suppliers providing 120/200/250mbps broadband, this 100mbps nic would be limiting, but I'm sure you could get something like a usb nic to get around this issue

Cheers,

I meant for the billing address, just because I work for a bank myself and know that merchants may sometimes look to verify the billing address with the bank, if I put in Parcel Motel then it won't match.

In the end I just used the Parcel Motel postcode and my own home address. So far it seems like all is okay but I need to double check it in work tomorrow.

I've used the parcel motel address for both a couple of times now buying from tesco direct and never had a problem.

I had issues buying from the UK Carphone Warehouse where they only accepted UK cards so had a niggling doubt that this wouldn't work. Either way, looks like it's gone through so happy days. Been needing a new laptop for a while. It was will be nice to be able to unplug a laptop and not have it turn off straight away.

I must be tired...

When I put the postcode in there's no parcel motel address on the drop down menu? i.e 1A McKinney Road, etc ...

What address are you guys using?

Nope, I was using BT36 4PX as that's the number they have on the card they sent out to me. Dropped the X for the E and found it straight away so thanks for that. Ordered

Thats the old postcode, they changed it about a year ago.

wush06 · 23-03-2014 10:49PM

Just order one

fmul9798 · 23-03-2014 11:15PM

It's a good price but you folks should look out for the Celeron 1007u model instead - this Pentium 987 is an older model of the s200. The 1007u comes up at a good price from time to time. Even better would be the i3, but of course that's quite a jump.

Don't forget that with Parcel Motel your standard liability cover is limited to €100.

Spend an additional €3.50 and it's increased to €500 for 14 days.

The TDX-KH4C eCoupon code comes up as 'no longer valid'. Could anyone suggest another working code?

UPDATE:

Found site with available eCoupon codes here on Hot UK Deals..

Just updated the first post. TDX-PR4N gives you £10 off.

Gone back up to £329 so deal is gonzo!

Be really careful cleaning the screen.
My friend was cleaning a smudge on the screan using a cloth when the screen cracked. It was 2 weeks old.

He sent it off to Asus who refused to repair it under warranty.

Asus wanted £184.14 (parts) plus £60.00 (labour) to repair the screen. That's Pounds, not Euro.

He decided to try someone local to fix it but Asus refused to return it until he paid £53.44 Inspection & Administration fee.

This was back in Nov '13. The screens are still too expensive to make it worthwhile to repair.
