Premium Review Parcelforce: Even worser than Royal Mail (220 words)

This courier company is a little cheaper for when it comes to sending parcels. I have had a long experience of them and even though they are cheaper they actually end up losing more parcels and also do not deliver on time. You can not rely on Parcelforce to deliver parcels on time. Already used them 3 times this month and the same problem ...

Premium Review PLEASE, NO MORE PARCEL FORCE (180 words)

In my opinion Parcel Force is the worst run parcel service in the the U.K. by far. The last item they delivered ended up at the local Post Office without me knowing, as they hadn't bothered to leave a card to say they had attempted to deliver it. When I eventually went to collected it, the lady behind the counter said "this happens alot and ...

Parcel Force is part of the Royal Mail group, and is an express delivery company working through a network of hubs across the UK, with their central hub being based in coventry. Parcels can be sent with Parcel Force at many local Post Office branches, you can book collections online, and you can also take them to your local depot. The prices tend ...

Parcel Force is a courier service which people who wish to send parcels can do so. You can use their different services which include special 24 hour deliveries and 48 hour deliveries to. When compared to Royal Mail in terms of prices for deliveries their prices are much cheaper. I have used their services twice in the last month and not been very ...

The most unreliable service I have ever experienced - and will not even pay up when they destroy your goods, although you go to the trouble and expense of paying extra for insurance!!!! - and the watchdog seems to have no teeth either!!! - is it possible to have a minus star rating? - if so I give them minus 10!!!

Parcel force 48 hr european service is just a joke. They should be held legally responsible for offering something they just are not delivering. I've just ordered two parcels from different locations in the UK, Nottingham and Manchester, for delivery to Spain..........
.......four days later neither have arrived. One, according to the tracking is still in Nottingham central depot. The other, wait for it, made it out of the country and was last tracked in Belgium with the status delivered.
What is wrong with this company? Absolutely f'in useless. Just stay well clear. Pay someone to get on a low cost flight, meet them at the airport and do it yourself. It would probably work out cheaper too...

Parcel force came by to deliver a parcel today. I've had words with them in the past about wanting to examine a package before taking receipt of it because it was damaged in transit. The delivery guy said I'd have to send it back and that he wasn't going to give it to me because I might steal it without signing for it! Steal my own package, was he ...

The worst delivery service i ever had since I start using online companies. They are useless. If you want your package or need to be delivered, DO NOT use parcelforce. They are just bunch of idiots. Gave the same answers over and over again when you ask for inquiries. The package was never been delivered to me and I had to call the credit card company to get my money back. I got my money back with the help of my credit card company.

Parcelforce are worse than useless. I have in the past used Parcelforce but you soon learn that there are other courier companies that are cheaper and offer a better faster service!

Agreed the absolute worst service ever with the rudest call center people ever. Argued with me that the parcel was somewhere different than where it was.

I sent a box to Dublin International Signed for, left Post Office on the 19th of Dec. I spoke to 5 people at Parcelforce which told me that my box had left the Int Hub, something I knew already. They all told me, that it would be delivered soon. The last person I spoke to was on New Year's Eve, and they told me that it would be delivered today ...

An item I purchased over the internet was sent via Parcelforce. After contacting the sender a week after the item was posted to complain that I hadn't received it I was informed that the parcel had been signed for. I checked the Parcelforce website using the tracking number and sure enough, a name and signature had been recorded. As I do not know ...

Unfortunately, Parcel Force, and its ilk, are one of my major gripes. But perhaps Parcel Force more than most because their pricing structure and service has deteriorated so much in the last few years. From a business perspective, the days are long gone when PF were for me cost effective at shipping larger items abroad. I used to be ...

Parcel Force's website is just as good as the company themselves, I use it mainly for tracking my parcels, which is a very efficient and detailed service, but I have had a snoop around the rest of the site. Like I said, I have used the tracking service on many occasions and it beats its competitors hands down. The timings are very ...

Nothing worse than parcelforce... I cannot believe that I am waiting for my parcel from the UK to Ireland. It's been a week and still no delivery. If they need more than a week to send it in Ireland then how long it takes to deliver it in USA f.e Maybe 2 years? How much I regretted for my order. It could be better to travel in UK and get it from there than wasting my money for a parcel that I will never get maybe.

How can the companies trust them? Why they sign up contract with them? There must be a computer error....

Unfortunately the lowest I can give them is 1 point of out 5 but pls reader take it as ZERO...

I have had major problems with parcelforce...a 24hr service ended up in no delivery what so ever, and no explaination, just a load of excuses and lies....I am waiting with anticipation to hear on the news that this company is in liquidation and then i will have a celebration drink, because if these people can't be bothered to do their job properly then they don't deserve jobs. btw if you want a number to the manager director office this is it 01908687249 but don't expect miracles!

Express Review on Parcelforce

I guess I should be thankful that I now have my package, having read some of the dreadful stories on this site. They tried to deliver on Monday, when I was at work. Left an illegible tracking number. Nothing to suggest they tried again on Tuesday (as stated on the website). I went onto website to request a redelivery today. Waited in until 4pm, then decided to ring. Only then did I realise that I wasn't entitled to a redelivery - only to pick up from nearest Post Office (1.5 miles away). At least it was there. If I didn't have the option of a redelivery, why was this not made clear?
I'll certainly check with suppliers which courier they use, and will try to avoid Parcelforce in future.
