Parcel Motel only insure packages up to €100. Bit risky for a €700 phone no?

Originally I thought so but many people on here have bought from the UK through Parcel Motel and everything is traceable down to the driver so I don't think it is worth his job to rob it. It would look very bad on this new and upcoming business.

Plus I'd crucify them on twitter.:cool:

I don't know, but the majority of people on this thread have had no problems. Which has made it seem less risky for me.

Come on people, optimism

I'm quite an optimistic guy, but when it comes to €700 of my hard earned cash i air on the side of caution :pac:

I bought the iPhone 5 directly from apple for nearly €700 and didn't insure it. Stupidity? Probably. :rolleyes:

your package would have been covered by apple (i did the same last year), since parcel motel are a 3rd party it means the package is insured up until it hits their warehouse, after that you're only covered for 100 euro.

Oh I know, I meant I could have dropped it down the toilet myself and I didn't have it insured at all. I trust Parcel Motel to look after it more than I trust myself!

Same. Id like to see them be a bit more aggressive with their EU pricing. The disparity is huge even taking customs into consideration.

just a quick one for anyone possibly using parcel motel for ordering their iphone, got a text message from parcel motel this morning saying I had a package awaiting pick up, I had ordered something on ebay over the weekend but didn't think it arrived so soon and I was right it was an amazon order for someone else, being the honest chap I left it back into the PM storage cabinet rang them from the number on screen and advised them. The reason I had someone elses package was that when the guy created the package his PM number must have was close to mine so my number was PM123456 and he had put PM23456, the guy sticking the Parcel motel label onto the box obviously didn't even check the names matched. So I think if I had seen an iphone shaped box in my storage locker it might have been harder to resist

Thanks for the warning! I definitely put the right parcel order on it anyway. Just have to hope the driver does his job properly!

My mother is due an upgrade with vodafone in December ( 55 euro per month), what are her chances of getting her upgrade moved forward to order an iphone 5s on release day?

If She rings customer care they will tell her if she is able to get an early upgrade.

It's like a game of poker they are all playing with each other. Who will blink 1st & release their pricing scheme.

I don't know why, they'll most likely offer the same as last year and maybe try to squeeze more out of 4g subscriptions.

I asked Vodafone what their prices would be and was told 'more info would be available on launch day'

Ridiculous.

rang Vodafone. Was told phones will be available from upgrade team on the phone, website and in store. Couldn't tell me what the stock is like though in any of the stores.

The lads over on the O2 support forum posted this earlier:

"Unfortunately we will be unable to share any pricing information in advance of Friday. Those that have registered their interest will get information by email on Friday regarding the sale of the phone.

I'm sorry, I did say earlier that we should have information before Friday but it turns out not to be the case. The iPhones will still be on sale on Friday though, all sizes, types and colours."

First year this has happened, very strange behaviour
