Bought a yoke on ebay.co.uk yesterday.
Just got notification from PM that it's in Lucan ready to be collected. Already!
What about approaching PM for an affiliates discount?
And to answer the question:
No, I don't have the skills or I am too busy!!
I just received my first Parcel Motel order. I could see it was delivered to the address in Antrim Friday morning, and it was delivered to my local Parcel Motel in Cork by Saturday morning. Great to know they deliver on Saturdays! And next day! Great service.
Just got free shipping on items now too. This is a great service, and I got 7euro free credit when i signed up... class!
Its a fantastic service. I get nearly everything delivered there now.
first time i used it the sender did not include my pmid. not sure if it was his fault or amazons
got a call from them to confirm it was me, apparently there are 2 other users with the same name
messup probably added 2 days onto what would have been the fastest delivery i ever got

Just Signed Up - There's 1 referral for ya !! ;)
Just bought 8 cans of libbys pumpkin meat for my pumpkin ale brew day (enough for next year too). The ebay seller had p&p at 40 GBP to Ireland. Payed 6 GBP to get them shipped to parcel motels depot in Antrim (and ive 7 euro free credit) Nice!
Similar story here, got Designing great beers on amazon.co.uk, free shipping to UK
Cheers to Eoin for the pointer to this service :)
There has been mention on other threads about keeping non-EU orders below the customs radar limit else you get hit by duty/vat/post office charges.
The limit used to be below $150 you were OK. Now the limit seems to be more like $30
What will happen to a parcel motel parcel if it gets nabbed at the airport?
Any one know?
Just curious like as I probably would also "fly below the radar"

They won't accept delivery of any package with customs or VAT due so it will be returned to sender.
Thanks Paul!
So best use PM for UL/EU deliveries and use the free PnP deals from China and just bite the bullet for the US!
What's the biggest parcel you can get delivered through PM, now i don't mean the dimensions exactly, would a two can kit like the one below be the biggest? There is a PM station locally but the lockers look awfully small TBH. People here seem to be having great success with using PM but i wonder what's the biggest package anybody has got delivered through them? If you wanted to say get an FV delivered can you do that?

Well, a Dragon 32 won't fit. I know this as I had to collect if from the depot in Finglas.
The things people were collecting from the depot we unreal. 46" TVs, home theatre systems, coffee machines...
I hear ya Tube though i had to go through Google to find out what a Dragon 32 was ??? I was asking more for equipment deliveries and larger orders.
Just this last time:
"The largest Parcel Motel locker size is 41 X 38 X 64 cm. The maximum weight is 10kgs."
I got this from their web-site hint hint!!

I have one free stay at Parcel Motel and I got an email saying I have to use it within the next 2 weeks or I'll have to forfeit it >:(
How is this for getting brewing ingredients? Are the retailers aware?
Given that the maximum weight is 10kg, its wouldn't be suited to large/heavy orders.
I'm thinking just for malts, Hops and yeast. The weight restriction I can get around, it's more the size restriction.
