    Can anyone explain briefly how parcel motel works? I was tracking my tablet online via the Tesco courier and is tells me that my tablet was 'signed by customer' at 08:55 this morning. I am assuming this is parcel motel in Newtownabbey? I just find it a little strange that I got no text or e-mail off parcel motel to tell me it had arrived, and also no credit has been taken from my account on Parcel Motel to pay for their service. Is this taken when they deliver it to my local parcel motel, will they contact me then only?

    I'm just a bit of a worrier really and it is my first time using the service.

    They only inform you when it's in your local parcel motel locker. If all is going well you'll get a text and email tomorrow morning telling you it's ready for collection. As far as I know they will only debit your credit card when it leaves their sorting office to go to your locker.
    Mine was marked as delivered on the hermes tracking system yesterday morning and it was in my locker this morning.
    Can't wait to finish work to go get it.

    Log in to your parcel motel account and you can track the parcel.You'll even see a photo of it that they took when it arrived.

    they are not showing it online yet, but Currys Pc world have the Galaxy Tab 3 for EUR 199.

    Yes, it is about €25-€30 more expensive than Asda direct, but it is the best price for a B&M store

    Still about EUR 250 in Argos etc

    Did anyone manage to reserve one from Argos @ €175?

    Although I could not reserve one, I thought I had pre-ordered one for collection next week however when I check my email I see I dont have a reference or reservation number.

    Not good to hear about the failing screen. I only ordered mine last night. Having to deal with returning it to GB wouldvreally take some of the benefits of the good deal.

    Has anyone got recommendations about a case for this? Is it better to stick withe the genuine Samsung one (32 euro on Pixmania) or are the cheaper ones on ebay the same thing without thebranding?

    could you not redeem the Samsung warranty here in a screen repair shop that looks after them??

    I'm after returning it to PM and letting them know about the swap so hopefully there won't be any confusion in Newtownabbey Tuesday morning.

    Yeah definitely fair play to them on that one, pity I couldn't get the same service for my Moto G! How much are PM charging you for this out of interest?
