Apart from scary letters from the bank or a bill arriving two weeks before payday, that pesky green slip from the postman saying they’ve missed you is possibly the most annoying thing you can find in your letter box.
Having to trek to the post office your package has been returned to is a total pain, especially when they’re all closed at lunchtime and unless you decide to take a half day, getting your package is pretty much impossible.
So what’s the alternative? Give up online shopping for good? Pencil in a week’s annual leave so you can wait patiently by the door for the postman? Eh... neither, thankfully!
Parcel Motel is the latest online shopping innovation, designed with the customer in mind and allows you to send your online purchases to a nominated location so you can pick up your goods at a time and location that is convenient for you. Each stay costs €3.50 and as most Irish sites offer free delivery, it’s the only delivery cost you’ll pay.
Plus, first time users get their first two stays for free, so it’s basically just over a Euro a go... which wouldn’t even cover your bus fare getting to the post office. It really is a no-brainer and it’s easy peasy to get set up.
So, what are you waiting for? Get signed up today and wave goodbye to those pesky green slips forever!
