    Excitement building!! Spotted the parcel motel installation @ The Topaz on The Manor, just up from Morris'. Looks all shiny & new, hopefully now it'll be up and running in a week or 2, holding back on amazon & whatnot these days...

    https://www.parcelmotel.com/ are offering the 1st 2 deliveries free @ the min.

    I'm undecideded on whether or not I think this is good news;
    This could just be another nail in the coffin for local retailers by facilitating overseas online retailers.

    When the *ankers/Politicians and Bondholers do 'their' patriotic duty and take a real haircut and lead by example then I will consider more carefully how I spend my miserable few washers, mean time, it's sink or swim.

    Yep they are listed on the website, as is the parcel motel they've also opened in Kilkenny city.

    Great to see a company expanding services like this

    Collected a parcel today and had the angle problem initially. I then allowed for wind direction and it worked fine :D

    Why any need to add address to Paypal account, as the exchange rate will be done automatically, and you will have chosen your amazon/ebay parcel motel Antrim dispatch address.

    I'm confussed:D

    Don't see why not, and you might get free uk delivery, just send it to Parcel motel/antrim and they will do the rest.

    Put the order in and if it goes through then no problem.

    I thought i read that Amazon will not send Perfume to ROI or NI.

    An Amazon 3rd party seller might though.

    Does this mean I can order the entry level Kindle from Amazon.co.uk instead of .com now ?, that model is £69 which = €85. Tescos don't have it yet and are selling the previous model for €110
