Yes the direct link is here, if that doesn't work, click on My Account scroll down to Setting and there you should have Address Book.

When did you sent the email?. I have had the same problem but still waiting for a response. Well, I sent the email 3 hours ago, maybe I am being a little bit impatient

I just received the response from parcel motel. They have manually activated my account

The Northern Ireland address is great, in ebay.co.uk you can find really good bargains (for example in Argos outlet), but they only send to UK addresses

what happens when you get to parcel motel, how do you know which box to go to.

You enter the details on the screen and the box with your package pops open - you don't need to know which one it is.

If you are really lucky, a small child is standing in front of your box and gets hit with the door !

ok, thanks, can you tell me what details and how do I get them.

You enter your mobile phone number and the pin that they send when they notify you that there is a package for collection.

Glad to say that I've just paid for my first topup - they're actually making money from me now, and I'm only too glad to pay it.

Excellent service !

**** you Amazon, four MicroSD cards shipped in two different lots.

Just my luck. I still think I save about €3 euro in postage, not sure either if the cards could have been shipped here at all. They're the Ultra (red and grey) Samsung 16GB MicroSD cards.

Just to add, anyone else being prompted to 'fix' the Parcel Motel address by the Amazon address auto corrector.

Spits out a different postcode (BT36 4PE ??) and drops Mallusk from the address. Everything else the same.

stanley1

look at the option on top line.

In case anyone else was wondering what the story is with the "Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 1" location, I emailed asking about it and got a reply:

"Grand Canal Dock is Dublin 2 and our map is wrong. We are currently in the process of fixing it.  The Motel on Grand Canal Dock is at the Hanover Quay end, beside Milano's restaurant outside the Spar."

Dont know if anyone saw this but I saw a depot in Newbridge at the Maxol near the Motorway, handy for those of us in Laois...

Is that near the Grand Canal Theatre?

edit : Yes it seems to be.

The maps seem up to date now.

If you order goods to belfast, they collect them and bring them down to finglas, if they dont fit in the box and you have to collect it at the depot is there an extra charge or is it still 3.50?

https://www.parcelmotel.com/how-it-works/pricing-explained/

Under 25 kgs: it is included in the €3.50.

Over 25 kgs: In addition to the €3.50 Parcel Motel charge, there is a supplement of €3.50 per 10kgs (over the 25kgs) or part thereof per parcel.
