    As we travel through Ireland in our self build camper van after going full time living in our van , we find ourselves driving on a beach in our over weighted van and finding one of the most amazing bakery's. We also figure a way how to get a delivery when living in a van in Ireland as amazon was not an option. We start on the west coast of Ireland then had to come inland and headed for Sligo.

    Mark packages for depot pick-up and collect en-route or when you get the notification / tracking info, redirect it to the nearest drop-off location.
    Worked great for when I used to need gear from 1 site down the country on a job without messing about with arranging for it to be taken in by someone.

    • @UrbanVanlife

      Funnily enough we had to go this route with a larger package and well it didn’t work out for us as we still don’t have the package months down the line… last we heard it was in Dublin .. but now we don’t know where it is and have had to get the company sending it to deal with it as they wouldn’t give us the information without an Irish address even though they let us set it up to be delivered to a depot in Sligo … fun and games 😂😂😂 sure we’ll get it eventually 😂😂😂

    Amazon use An Post for deliveries in Ireland, they as the Postal Service only deliver to a physical address or an An Post PO Box, use a C/O like a local pub that you've become friends with the licensee. An Post have strict restrictions on what can be in a package very similar to airlines and IATA as to what can go in the hold of a passenger aircraft as freight.

      You have to have 2 of the DJI mic 2’s as the first generation mic you can’t connect to the Osmo pocket 3 and you just go into the settings and set it up or if you have a receiver you plug it into the camera (say in our Sony camera for example) then you can use 2 of the first gen mics hope this helps
