I'll save you waiting for a response:firestarter51 wrote: »Hi Ciara
Any chance parcel wizard will introduce a discount for regular users, like buy 5 get one free
I think parcel motel introduced something when you top up by X amount there was a free delivery or a reduced rate on them all

I send a message to PW them saying sorry and asking them to contact me about any extra charge.
Parcel was delivered today by my regular driver without any additional cost.
PM would have charged me loads of additional money.
Pantry works fine with PW then?
Very interesting and handy!
Do you find it cheaper than shopping locally?0 -

Generally Pantry works fine with PW but don't trust the delivery dates that Amazon is giving you, it's never 1 or 2 days as they claim. When they use DPD UK they usually deliver in 2 days, Hermes and Yodel take 3 days.
As with everything the key is shopping around and the prices on pantry really fluctuate loads from day to day. There are some great bargains to be made, there are sometimes goods in there which are significant cheaper than what shops in Ireland charge.
Last week I got Kellogg's Nourish for 1.50£ (1.78€) which sells here for around 4.35€, a couple of boxes made up for shipping/PW charge.
Or my favorite jam which is 3.30€ here was only 2.02€ (1.70£) for a while, it's now up to 1.99£ which is still cheaper.
But you need to compare and also just because you got something on Monday for a price does not mean you get the same cheap price on Tuesday, Amazon's prices are really changing quickly and not always a bargain.
However word of advise, don't order liquids together with food items. Packaging inside the parcel is not always the best and it creates a real mess in case of transport damage. I had one parcel completely damaged because a liquid ran all over the food. Sure Amazon refunded and DPD was very helpful but it just is not worth the hassle. Keep it in separate orders.
Also make sure you check the weight for each item, don't trust the % package filled because the biggest Pantry box is way over the PW dimensions and weight. Not that PW makes a deal out of it yet but in theory they could. Just make sure you don't fill more than 18 kg shipping weight and all is usually fine and your driver will be thankful for not needing to do heavy lifting of a BD2 box.
Hope that helps.0 -

With that option, you could get stung for an oversized parcel if you were not expecting it.5.11 Tactical wrote: »It would also be a good idea to have a similar payment method to that of Parcel Motel, leave a credit or debit card on file and the stay automatically deducted, instead of having to constantly top up.
The onus would also be on you to fight your case should any problems arise with a delivery, ie, you were automatically charged for a package that ended up delivered to someone else, or to the wrong location.
Also, there is the usual privacy, data security issues surrounding them having your credit card on file. Although I guess that goes with the territory for all companies.
I personally prefer the top up option. It means I have COMPLETE control of it.
This I would have to agree with. Perhaps a 3 for 2, 6 for 4 offer or something along those lines. It would greatly help when flippin Amazon decide to split ship my order.5.11 Tactical wrote: »Also is there any incentives to buy credits in bulk because at the moment there is none.
With regard to Parcel Wizard in general, I'm happy to say that all except for 1 delivery with them came through fine.
Said delivery wasn't really their fault anyways. The label with my name was torn off in transit somewhere so they couldn't identify it obviously.
After a few emails to their customer service reps, they did ultimately identify, locate and deliver my package.
