How do ye rate them. I've used both for a few years. Parcel Motel is NI address which is not always available without extra charges when buying from day etc. Parcel Motel do keep you posted on parcels arrival in their depot. My most differentiating experience between tbe two is what happens with a parcel that's not been addressed correctly to include your full name and account number. Parcel Motel will hold on to it, Addresspal as far as I can tell ship it out to whoever says they are missing a parcel vaguely matching descriptionn of your parcel. . I recently had a case of parcel having to be retrieved from one of their other customers who transpired to be a thieving git who kept some of tbe contents of the package. After a long game of ping pong addresspal said not their fault as address label was missing information about my account, never mind fact that the other customers details were not on my parcel. 
The other thing is that when things go wrong with addresspal you have to chase two entities, both addresspal in UK depot and a post, an Post seem to be the commissioners of the Addresspal service and you have to involve them to wake up the Addresspal crowd when they become unresponsive.
So, for me it's Parcel Motel from now on unless a Northern Ireland address doesn't work fir the sender.

But isn't it worth it for a chance to partake of my sparkling personality & witty repartee
