Delivery services, parcel motel etc

[Anotherdayanotherdollar]

Has anybody used any of the delivery services I hear about, parcel motel, parcel wizard or the an post one? The sterling being low at the moment and money being tight I can see a lot of Xmas shopping coming from the uk (will buy as much locally as I can afford!)
Wondering which services are recommended?

I use parcel motel quite a lot. It is really good. I've used it for sites that don't deliver to Ireland and to take advantage of free or cheaper delivery.
I collect parcels from local petrol station and it is very convenient.
I know someone who uses an post but with that one you are restricted to collecting parcels during business hours.
