DPD Parcel Wizard - DPD Pickup

Both may have been sent at the same time but they were separate parcels sent to seperate addresses so it's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that one ends up missing or delayed.

So definitely not automatically PW's fault and the only way to know they actually received it or not would be a signed delivery.

And also a lot of UK Retailers use different couriers to deliver their packages, for example Amazon and Tesco Direct.

Who's to say that they didn't ship with separate couriers?

OK first delivery done and all went well. Will be using again.
If i could add one thing, pics sent with email (like PM do) would help.

Will be using very often!

Hi all,

I'm not getting this unfortunately

So say I go onto Amazon.co.uk and buy something....when putting in my address (which would be irish), I also include my Parcel Wizard ID - and this results in me getting free delivery (like if I was based in the UK - ala Parcel Motel?)

No,when you register with dpd wizard you will give them you home address,then when you order from say amazon,put you address in as

Joe bloggs
PW******
and then the uk virtual address which is on the dpd wizard site


Then when it arrives at the uk address in mallusk your dpd pw number will be recognised and forwarded on to your home address which they will know from your registration details

Used all three as well ordered from ebay yesterday got text today so all going well I'll have it by 3 tomorrow.

Saved a fair bit already by not having to drive 50km to my local pm site.

Hope it takes off and keeps going

I ordered something from UK on Monday arrived today to my door, good service.

Wonder if they will end up getting overwhelmed though,lots of people seem to be already using this service,another few weeks and it will be hectic.

god's toy

So I have something coming to PW that is probably going to be bigger than what PW have listed as its limit... but is under 20KG

What happens in that case?


(note: I have read the QA on PW but see nothing regarding oversized boxes)

How do you top up when your 3 free trips are used?

I know its probably some where on the DPD site I'm too lazy to look as I'm only on phone.

They send you a paypal invoice by email when your package arrives.

Have received 2 text messages telling me that 2 packages are on the way and that I'll receive them on the 30th, but there's no time. When I log into my account it states expected delivery on the 27th.

Any ideas, DPD Reps?

Wizard!

On the morning of 30th, you will receive another email&sms with the delivery time. Usually it is a timespan of an hour, and most of the times, are precise.

This has happened a couple of times to me with delvieries with DPD.

If we take the above as an example then i would receive the packages today.

I think they use the extra delvery day in the text as cover.

Clear as mud so! Would have had it this evening if I went with Parcel Motel!

Great service, my first delivery went well!

It's probably been asked already, but how do you do the address on Amazon, where it wouldn't have room for Address 3/4, but only address 2.

For mine, I did

My name -PWID-
DPD Parcel Wizard, Units 3 & 5 Trench Park
TRENCH ROAD
NEWTOWNABBEY, CO ANTRIM BT36 4LB
United Kingdom

Should that be OK?

I did mine as

Name PWID
Address #1 - DPD Parcel Wizard, Units 3 & 5 Trench Park
Address #2 - TRENCH ROAD
Town/City - NEWTOWNABBEY
County - CO ANTRIM
Postcode - BT36 4LB

Good point about the possibility about their getting it mixed up with PM, but I'm hoping that the Postcode will show the difference, because they don't use the same one.

Will update if there are any problems.

I have entered it as follows and all my packages have arrived:

Address Line 1: PWXXXXXX / DPD Parcel Passport
Address Line 2: Units 3 & 5, Trench Park Rd
Town/City: Mallusk
Country: Antrim
Postcode: BT36 4TY

I would not use NEWTOWNABBEY as city, too much danger of couriers thinking of Parcelmotel.

Yeah it always annoys me when I people put Dublin as the town when they address stuff to me, it always ends up going to the mansion house.

Couriers aren't stupid, and theirs more than 1 other Buisness in Newtownabbey.

Well there have been examples where (especially yodel) has delivered it wrong, but in any case, this post had me double check and i now see that DPD has changed both City and Postcode to be used in parcelwizard.

It changed from Mallusk to Newtownabbey and BT36 4TY to BT36 4LB as the previous posters have used.

So back to edit my amazon settings. BT36 4LB makes a lot of more sense too as it list just 6 addresses in Trench Park.

Would however have been nice if early adopters would have been told via e-mail or so about the change.

Just had a tracked delivery showing as delivered at 9.30 to the parcel wizard depot,thought they were closed on Saturdays?, Not showing on my account yet anyway,also courier shows as no signature.

Will it likely be Monday before it shows up on the parcel wizard system>?

a_noodle_jenny

I'm converted - PW is much more convenient to me! Great value and I've contacted their customer service and found their response very helpful and prompt!
In some instance Parcel Motel might suit better if I know ill Be away - found the delivery times of one hour slot works well also.

I used the Mallusk address twice during the week, is that not correct now?

I'm sure the reps will likely confirm, but below is the virtual address that I was given when I signed up for PW last night, with my details removed, of course :pac:



I've adapted the address to be

First Name/Last Name PWID
Address #1 - DPD Parcel Wizard, Units 3 & 5 Trench Park
Address #2 - TRENCH ROAD
Town/City - NEWTOWNABBEY
County - CO ANTRIM
Postcode - BT36 4LB

for amazon, because they don't allow for Address Line #3 and #4

By the looks of it, they done some modifications to the address to be used since they originally introduced the service.

It changed from Mallusk to Newtownabbey and BT36 4TY to BT36 4LB.

It still the same physical location, so there should not be a problem with anything in transit. However the new Postcode has major advantages for anything with royal mail as it narrows it down to the Trench Park.

That was a quick change, ordered Sunday and it was the old one then. Thought the address was a bit strange all right. Got everything really quickly, and for free! Great service!
