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.
