Hiya, has anyone used this ParcelConnect service yet?
I for one think it's great idea especially coming up to Christmas, be handy popping in after work from train station to collect any parcels on my way home.

I've not used Parcel Connect, but I've used Parcel Motel on occasion. Their lockers up at the Topaz petrol station are handy enough for me due to the hours I work.

I have, it's especially handy when companies offer free UK shipping, as Parcel Motel have a place in Newtonabbey which can be used for the shipping address. They then put in your local locker.

Great! That's what I was thinking of. So much stuff is UK only or else prohibitively expensive to deliver to Ireland.
Thanks

Just be very careful of the size of the package. If it doesn't fit in the locker then you get charged by "dimensional weight" and it can work out extremely expensive.
