Not yet. It was in Antrim alright.
Tracking now saying in transit so I would guess I should have it by Monday.
No iPad for me this year then.

Indeed. I've just set you up on itunes and put loads of Pogues songs on it. Will post it on tomorrow. Nice bit of kit, you'll like it.
Chritmas spirit right there. You wouldn't get that from any other county in the wee six.

Got a text this morning to say the package had arrived and was waiting for me at the parcel motel.
Delighted!

How much did you save over, say,  getting it sent direct from Amazon?

Have no idea I don't really use Amazon.
I bought a refurbished ipad 4. It was €320 delivered from an ebay store.
It's in Grade A condition.

when buying online why not have it sent to your home address?

I work, my wife works so it's not often there might be someone here to collect a package which means you either have to organise a time when there is someone here or drive to the nearest depot to pick it up which can be awkward too if you're working away.
I thought that would be pretty obvious?

it's five minutes from my house and I can collect it anytime I want rather than trying to collect it during my work hours or the office open hours of the delivery company.
It's the first time I used parcel motel and I am very impressed. Much handier way of receiving a package IMO.
No wondering will there be someone at home to receive it or trying to arrange a new time etc etc

A lot of stuff on amazon wont deliver to Rep of Ireland or the delivery cost is huge. With this you can get it delivered for €3.50
