Let’s be honest, online shopping is a bittersweet experience.

In the space of mere moments, you can go from wholly elated over your new purchases to wholly anxious over their safe arrival.

There are few among us who haven’t missed a highly-anticipated delivery, and then been forced to endure an agonising wait for its reappearance.

Thankfully, over the last five years, Parcel Motel has made our lives so much easier, and if you’re not in on it, it’s time to school yourself.

Parcel Motel is a one-stop shop for managing your online shopping deliveries easily. A ‘virtual address’ combined with convenient collection and drop-off locations provide a hassle-free delivery solution.

The service offers 24-hour deliveries with no time restrictions, no explaining your purchase to colleagues and the ability to send parcels to friends and family across the UK and Ireland.

Parcel Motel has a presence in every county in Ireland, with 160 lockers unit locations, and was recently listed in the top ten for customer experience in the 2017 annual Irish customer experience survey carried out by Amarach Research.

This week, General Manager Orla Sheils reflected on a hugely successful five years for Parcel Motel.

“How often have you spotted a bargain online only to find that the savings are wiped out by high delivery costs, or the website won’t deliver to the Republic of Ireland?

“Who will be at home when an order is delivered? How can couriers contact people who live in apartments?

“For five years now, Parcel Motel has been solving these online shopping obstacles as well as offering customers flexibility and value for money – something which has been clearly recognised through our growing membership figures.”
