Parcel Motel have delayed and delayed and have offered me the minimum compensation of quarter of the item value.
I've used Parcel Motel a LOT over the last few years, 100+ times I'd say. Only once had a parcel go missing and it was eventually found, and only once received somebody elses parcel. They're not perfect by any means, but I wouldn't let a small number of bad experiences put you off if it's of use to you.Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever used the service until this week (I’ve ordered coffee that way because I’ll be in and out of my home). Pity.
Parcel motel has the benefit of a UK delivery address.
I see today that they are increasing their charge for Nov & Dec, bit smart given they are surely seeing a significant uptick in profits already.
YepParcel Wizard's UK address is in the same town as Parcel Motel's but they offer delivery to a pickup point, or DPD to your door.
An Post have a "competing" service whose one advantage is a UK mainland address.
Its not like they weren't making a profit margin at their standard pricing and likely to do very well this winter, given expected increased activity. They could have easily hired some additional temporary staff, put additional "post boxes" out at various pick up locations etc.
I'm not so sure about that, many people are working from home and it's no hassle to receive a package when you're there to answer the door. That's a significant portion of their business modelParcel motel has the benefit of a UK delivery address.

I can see how PM might suit people if they worked outside the home but for me it's DPD all the way.
