Fastways prepaid business tickets mean that this can't be done. Actually had this discussion with their driver before, even offered to send my tickets to the collection point and he said no, that the tickets are for the business that buys them only (possibly because its a franchise) the parcel post section may be the ones responsible for what you are suggesting

Ok then I must be going mad and the 10/15 collections I get every week aren't really coming back to me!
Of course your right,what was I thinking!
I have a prepaid collection booklet. Manifest with the collection stickers attached to it.Give manifest with stickers to the driver when he's taking the deliveries or dropping back the collections. It's always been the way,long before I arrived and will be long after.
So in short you are wrong,it can be done!
The only unknown is whether it's an option for private customers.

Maybe someone can get onto Fastways & find out for sure, rather than this back & forth & getting nowhere posts? not really anything to do with the thread so lets leave it at that for now. If Siobhan needs more info she can either contact Fastways herself or another company. Ok?

Can only tell you what the driver told me and why he couldn't do a pick up. I'm in business too and use other more accommodating couriers for my needs.
Anyway, I'm out of this as its not going anywhere, wish you the best of luck

To be fair I wouldn't have offered Fastway as a solution to the ladies problem if I didn't know they offered the service for certain.
Argument was not started by me.
Last time I'll try and be helpful on this thread.
Over and out!

Wang King

Not arguing with you, you'll only drag me down to your level and beat me with experience

Lets leave it at that now!

Probably Parcel connect,
Any shop has prepaid labels, they can only be attached to goods going out, there is no allowance for pickups in other locations as you cannot attach your tag to the goods

Yeah, that's why they can't do a collection. Its completely sender based

Exactly, and that's why fibre to the building will be limited to urban streets and estates with the required density to make it economical. If you live in a one-off house on the outskirts of town/village, you can forget about it.

I think the ESB/Vodafone 100mb offer is coming to town soon and as its coming over the ESB line your not going to need a landline to avail of it.

Yeah, we should see both Eircom and ESB/Vodafone rolling out 1Gb fibre here before the end of the year. The ESB/Vodafone plan is to run the fibre along ESB poles and ducting but there'll still be a fair amount of work involved.

Both have indicated that they won't run fibre along any individual street until a certain minimum proportion of premises have signed up so there's no guarantee anyone will be able to avail of it unless you have equally enthusiastic neighbours!

We might be waiting then because how many people are going to sign up to a maybe we'll install it, or maybe not?

I read in an Irish Indo article suggesting that the price for SIRO could be anywhere between €40-90/month. They are not going to get many residential customers at that price. Anyone willing to pay that kind of would get their internet as part of a tv/phone package.

This one is interesting. The only shops with elevators that I can think of off hand are Penney's (most likely considering its location) and Guiney's.

no offence to the poor woman, but why would she leave her purse in the buggy knowing its got that much money in it and worried someone was watching her!? I'd be keeping it safer than that!

It might be useful for people considering the possibility of installing fibre to register their interest with Siro here: http://siro.ie/towns/tralee-fibre-to-the-building/

I would expect that there will be some pricing premium for this over-and-above the standard VDSL product we have now (Eircom's so-called eFibre) but at the same time they have to make it attractive to sign-up sufficient numbers and Vodafone will want to move their own customers off Eircom's network and onto theirs.

In reality what you will be getting is a complete package as it will include some sort of telephony service (depending on what provider you purchase it from) and also TV service (Vodafone has indicated an intention to follow Eircom's lead with eVision and launch their own subscription TV service).

Parklands multi-story, beside Tesco, is €4 per day. Is the Brandon daily rate €3?

Encrypted Pigeon

Can confirm, the Brandon was €3. Thanks for the advice.
