    Got mine from Amazon/parcel motel. What makes you think they won't deliver to the North?

    They do deliver it to NI. Just had a look now and it still lets me go through with NI address.

    That's also how I got mine.

    I tried again and now it's working, that's odd.

    One more thing, Ive never used Parcel Motel before and the NI address they gave me is "1A McKinney Road, Newtownabbey"but Amazon couldnt find that and instead corrected it to "14 McKinney Road, Newtownabbey" So what should I do?

    You can edit the address manually, you don't have to accept the suggestions.

    When it cannot find an address it gives you the option of using original address or suggested address. Use the original one.

    Just make sure you put your Parcel Motel ID in first and/or last name fields along with your actual name.

    Even though it has been clarified that Parcel Motel works. I just thought it might be worth adding this.
    Do not buy from Ebay pre-modded ever. You will have zero comeback from amazon should anything go wrong, and many of the sellers disappear quickly. Add to that that some are already nearly or out of warranty.
    and
    If you find a product on Amazon that will not deliver outside mainland UK, for example to N.I. You can use Address Pal, - An Posts version of parcel wizard/motel, as they have a mainland UK address.

    No, on Amazon when it corrects your address, disagree and choose manual entry.
    Do not let it change your address to the one it suggests. If it already has, you can go back and change the address manually to the correct parcel motel address.

    Ah okay thanks very much, should my unique parcel motel number be the Address line #1? Sorry about all the questions, never used Parcel motel before!
