Bought a yoke on ebay.co.uk yesterday.

Just got notification from PM that it's in Lucan ready to be collected. Already!

Will_D

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.

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

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!
