A 42' TV might be a bit big for parcelmotel. Their largest size limit is 41 X 38 X 64 cm

Fair point. To be honest I wouldn't dream of buying such a bulky item from the UK or further afield because of the difficulties of sending it back for a warranty claim.

Whether they do or not, it's a service that holds no attraction for me. You have to pick up from a post office which means you can't pick up at lunchtime when they're closed (13:00 to 14:15) and you'd have to avoid certain days of the week i.e. dole/pension day and children's allowance day when there's likely to be a queue out the door.

There's a permanent queue in most post offices these days whereas in my local An Post distribution depot I can wheel up, park the car and there's hardly ever someone in front of me at the counter. Why they're doing the drop at post offices is beyond me.

Plus there's another sneaky catch...check the terms and conditions for the size restrictions. I've bought a pile of instruments in from the UK over the years, and size has never been a problem, or even queried (guitars, banjos etc). So when I signed up for Address pal, it didn't cross my mind to even think about sizes. Now there's a package on it's way which is going to cost me 25 euro on top of the normal fee. It's 40mm too wide. My fault for not reading the small print, but I think it should have been highlighted when signing up.

+1 You also have to be careful when buying from Amazon UK because if it's not being fulfilled (i.e. dispatched) by Amazon, there's often restrictions on where the indie retailers will ship to and 'free UK delivery' doesn't always include NI i.e. it will sometimes be 'UK Mainland' in the Ts & Cs.
