Hi Ian you planning a website?

[The Mottly Brew]

Hi CH,

Yes should go live in about 2 weeks so you will be able to buy online.

Just a little question for all of you out there what do you think of parcel motel. Is it handier for people or just a myth.

Yes and no. Only handy so long as the package will fit in their storage lockers, something like an FV would not work unless you were within driving distance and then it costs more to pickup.

As Greg says Parcel motel is only really good for smallish parcels

Was popping in to the local Lidl this afternoon, and thought I'd try and find this place. When I got there, I saw it was open.   I went in - it's not huge, but big enough. Mostly beer and wine kits, with FVs and other basic equipment - they won't be selling grain or hops. Talking to Ian (and his small daughter), he was in Galway yesterday meeting the guys from Hambleton Baird. He is stocking the Evil Dog kits; the DIPA at €30 seems expensive, but from reading reviews is well worth it. As I have a spare FV at the moment, I'll be popping in to the shop tomorrow. Great to have a homebrew shop just round the corner from me!

30.00 euro is expensive for that kit considering it is no more than 27.00 euro everywhere else and lower than that right now in at least one home brew shop i know. Great to see another BNM opening up and i wish them the best, be interesting to see what stock and prices they have when the website goes live in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Dunkel for the review. Sorry for the mess in the shop today I was putting shelves together for my new stock. Looking forward to seeing you again tommorow.

In my case probably, I won't be a customer of this shop.Sorry

I think parcel motel would work brilliantly if it meant it brought down the delivery price.
Homebrewers should only ever need to make 1 or 2 bulky purchases. Then all of their purchases are ingredients after that (thats in theory....... i know some of us get carried away)
For anyone buying a couple of kits and spraymalt etc (even if it was an allgrain pack) - the lockers are easily big enough.
Im not sure of the price benefit  - but if it meant the shipping went from 6 euro to 3.50 I'd definitely choose parcel motel.
The only problem might be educating people as to what parcel motel is - but a good info page on your web site @ the checkout basket would sort that - and I believe Parcel motel are offering the 2 free deliveries again for new sign ups.

[Greg2013]

That is assuming small orders only which is very limiting, also there is a weight limit on those lockers. Whaat if i want a demijohn and two beer kits plus some bits and bobs, what then ? Parcel Motel is great but too limited for home brew deliveries IMHO.
