When are the 48 hours per stay up? From when the item is delivered or from when the text message is sent?

Hi Orla could I get an answer to this please? Don't see anything about it on the site. Apologies if I have missed it.

Hi Orla, i ordered big Tv and it arrived to Parcel Hotel location in NI on Monday 24th (signed by S holden) but i still have no notification or balance taken out from my account as of today. Could this be missing? The package is huge and according my calculations is about 75kg of dimensional weight. Any chance you can track it?

We measured a Panasonic 42" HD TV in its box. It worked out as 118 x 70 x 14 cm which means the dimensional weight is 38.54 kgs. The price to collect this at the depot would be €7.00 or to have it delivered would be €21.00. The box sizes for other makes may vary but that should give you an idea of the price. For more info on our prices please visit www.parcelmotel.com/how-it-works/pricing-explained/

Orla, have Parcel Motel considered offering an optional insurance add-on for items such as the above? If that facility were in place, I could certainly see myself availing of it.

Hi Orla,

Do you mind having a look for a parcel. It was delivered to PM on the 24th at Newtown Abbey. Still haven't got any text or email to say its in. I'll PM my ID to you now.

Thanks a mil

If my parcel arrived this morning (Saturday) does that mean that the two days to collect are counted as today and Sunday? Or is it two working days, i.e today and Monday?

buy it and when your asked for an address put in the one parcel motel gave you.the above one with your pmid.
when you registered you should have picked a location near you in dundalk that has a parcel motel.the item is delivered to antrim then to the parcel motel in dundalk.then you get a text or an email saying your item is ready for collection.
its delivered to antrim because the place your getting it from i presume dont do deliveries to the roi.

Yes, you might have to put your name and PM ID number on the same line of the address as there mightn't be enough addresses.

As far as Dell are concerned they are delivering it to the UK that's why it goes to the north. Parcel Motel will then move it from there to your local pick up point.

Bear in mind under the PM T&C's goods are covered up to €100 only so you might be out of pocket if the worst happened. I used it for expensive stuff myself and never had a problem though.

Have you registered in Parcel Motel? If yes, your address and the nearest PM locations (from where you can collect your delivery) should have been provided during the registration.

So, while buying things that needs to be delivered to UK (either the seller offers free delivery to UK or the seller offers delivery only to UK, being the reason), you enter your Name (Name should match the name used in registration with PM), and your PMID in the first and second line of the delivery address. So it should look like this:
NAME
PMID
1A McKinney Road
Newtownabbey
BT36 4PE.

Even if you enter the above address which is of UK you would get the delivery to your chosen PM locations. A charge of €3.5 is levied for this service. However, the first two deliveries are offered free of cost as a promotional offer.

Quick question, most times I use Parcel Motel I get a message about half ten at night, sometimes I go down that night instead of waiting until the next day. I had a parcel delivered to your Antrim location today, previous experience tells me if this was a normal day I'd get a text tonight. According to your Christmas schedule any that you receive today will be available for collection Monday morning, which I assume means it will go in the locker the night before. Just wondering is it likely to be tonight it goes in the locker or tomorrow night (I would have thought you'd be more likely to be having your delivery men working a Saturday night than a Sunday night)

Ok thanks a LOT guys
ALso can anyone check if that laptop will fit in the locker? Sorry for the newbie questions

The laptop will fit, unless Dell ship it in a huge box which is highly unlikely.

Hi. Quick question. Ordered some dvds from amazon uk. Chances are though that I might be at work when they are delivered and they'll get sent to the an post parcel depot and I wont be able to get out there during work and they'll be returned to Amazon (Learned about ParcelMotel too late )

Any chance I can use the option An Post give of resending to a different address to have the sent on to Parcel Motel and I'd be able to pick them up after work then?

Thanks

Rang today about a package. Was told that they would call me back but they didn't. Tried ringing after lunch and no answer. Just got a message saying that I couldn't leave a message because their mailbox was already full.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Signed up for this last night and ordered something of amazon with free delivery in uk. Delivery to Ireland was about 6 euro. So free delivery as I have the first two stays free.

It sounds fairly straight forward. Just wait for it to be delivered.

Just one thing i'm a bit confused about. When collecting your item, you enter your phone number and a code they text you. Do they give you a locker number or what?

Keith186

You type in your phone and pin number and a locker pops open.
Don't close it by accident with out taking your delivery just in case it doesn't open again!

same happened me today. I am waiting on an oversized package . Payment has already been taken from my account. I rang 3 times today and no call back. I think it has been in Dublin since last Friday. getting worried now

The screen gives you the option to open the locker again in case you would -weirdly- close he locker without taking your parcel out...

Who are advertising bid TV? Parcel motel? Parcel motel provide a uk address so you can avail of free uk delivery.

postmanpat78

boards itself,is advertsing bid tv,in here if you look between posts,there is adds,and one is for bid,one on now for dell,as i say bid dont deliver to ireland,so its a bit stupid advertsing when you dont deliver to a country,

NATLOR

Dont think thats anything to do with boards,i find those ads on a lot of sites and are related to searches you have done,i was on amazon earlier and the ad showing here for me is from amazon.

wingnut

apologies if this has been asked already but can oversized items be collected from the local depots (as opposed to Finglas) yet for the standard free (Ballysimon Limerick).
