    It's €3.95 for every parcel motel delivery. If your order is over £25 on Amazon you get free delivery to Ireland.

    its only free to anyway in uk, i brought things using that method before you talking about and they always charge 10€ for delivery even object is over 25£

    but last i bought time majora's mask link amiibo from using the parcel mothel method i got delivery for free. the amiibo was 26£ all i paid was 26£ = 29.83 Euro€

    No if your buying directly from Amazon and shipping to Ireland you will get free delivery directly to your door as long as your order is over £20.

    You got free delivery from Amazon as you spent over £20. You shipped to Parcel Motel which would have had a €3.95 handling fee, so your mother paid that if you used her Parcel Motel address.

    See my photo attached. FIFA 18 is £24.60 and free delivery directly to Ireland. No need to use Parcel Motel.

    No, no they don't.
    I've been using them for years.
    They are a part of the Nightline delivery company and do not deliver for free.
    Now, the UK company may offer free shipping in the UK, so you can avail of this with delivery being made to the Parcel Motel depot in Belfast. But the customer pays the Parcel Motel fee every time.

    We're not saying you're lying. We're saying you're incorrect and probably ill-informed. My guess?
    Your mam has a credit card registered to Parcel Motel, most likely, so they automatically deduct a charge when she uses the service. Parcel Motel do not ship for free.
    Exception would be if, say, she works for / is related to / is extremely good friends with Nightline couriers (although now that UPS own them any such arrangement is probably moot.)

    Look, if you're at the point where your mum is ordering stuff from Amazon for you, and say you're giving her the money so she can order it, she probably doesn't tell you everything about every cent racked up on her credit card. That's fine. It'd be weird if she did. Don't take it personally.
    (However, if she thinks Parcel Motel is free as well and does not have a special relationship in place, you could be a hero and warn her about the charge :D )

    (Also, if it's not a source of inconvenience, wait till you have £25 worth of stuff to order, get it delivered to your home and select Super Saver - €4 saved! That's Gelato money!)

    And if you are getting PM for free, well done. Enjoy it and don't spoil it by crowing about it online :D

    Still haven't opened my Guardian. It's too pretty to put in a dark box with the rest of my Amiibo, but too ostentatiously big to put on the mantel piece and leave me open to all those "What the **** is *that* and how much did it cost???" questions it will elicit.

    And you can just proudly point out how it's poseable and then you'll never have to worry about seeing those people in your house again


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    You are right of course. I'll never have to worry about seeing those people in my house again because those people - namely my wife and children - would escort me to the door, dump the box full of Amiibo, Infinity and that one Skylander I bought on my head and say "feck off, Banjo!".

    But the house is where I keep my Switch dock, so that plan has one glaring flaw.

    i use ssb Link amiibo to dlc the twilight princess clothes for Link for botw because of the hero clothes for botw are rare to come by in botw.

    Found one of my amiibos the ocarina link broken he has no hylian shield I'm gonna stick it up on adverts later as damaged but it obviously still functions, infestation of like likes surrounded the poor little guy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Sell him as damaged? Quitter talk!
    Commit!
    Break the sword off Lucina or Roy, glue it into his shield hand and sell him for double as the exclusive Dual Wielding Link from the up and coming Hyrule Akimbo game. And also exclusive Pacifist Roy (glue a daisy to his hand). You'll be minted!


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,133 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Depends what part of Daisy you glue to his hand. He could be a romantic if just holding her hand or a creep.

    no its, a damaged amiibo should be cheaper the original price of the €15 not double that price,

    older the amiibo should be cheaper the original price of is cost not double that price,

    Aside from pointing out that we're joking(I hope?), there was a run of Smash Peaches that had no legs, they were worth more than an undamaged peach at launch, probably even more now.

    The lesson is, common sense is not a market force.

    Not from round here eh, Banjo and I are legendary scumbags who prey on the needy with Tom Nook amiibos and in my case a blatantly stated damaged link hope my sheldon cooper esqueness of sarcasm??? works here. I really need to stay off this forum but after posting here for so long it's difficult to do that for any long term passage of time. I'll go now but like Arnold I'LL BE BACK.

    New Octoling amiibo will be coming out. No release date yet.

    There's also another new Inkling and Ridley.

    What about the other returning characters inSmash Bros? Are they all going to get an amiibo? They've definitely slowed down with amiibo, in other years there'd have been at least a dozen announced.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,133 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'll take Ridley to add to my Metroid Amiibo collection
