Used it, very straight forward and can save on postage costs particularly if ordering from the UK. It's explained very clearly on their website but it's like you are temporarily renting a post box where you've a day or two to collect your item |

"Thanks. Do I get an address I put in for the delivery address is it ? "
The website supplies two addresses. If you are buying from Ireland you provide the ROI address. Otherwise you use the Northern Irish address for UK deliveries.
You register on their site, enter where you want stuff delivered (local garage or whatever, they're all listed) and you also have to top up with them. €10 minimum. Each delivery costs about €3 which is taken from your tenner. |

I have been using it for much the same reasons as you are asking and i have never had an issue. Its extremely reliable and as the folks above have said you can save a huge amount on postage buying from the likes of amazon. An post started a similar service about 3 months ago and i gave it a try, useless. Three times i have gotten the text to collect computer parts for work and when i called in the parcels still hadn't arrived in the post office. Parcel motel all the way  |

With parcel motel when you set up your a/c you just specify where you want to pick up your parcel. They have several collection lockers around.
When you order something the address you use is the newry address which parcel motel give you. They give you a code also.
Your package is first of all delivered to newry and then onto your collection point. So i think it is completely discreet.
You get a text msg saying your parcel has arrived and a code to open your locker |
