Parcelforce Reviews

Royal Mail owns parcel force. It delivers heavy packages that can’t be delivered through the letterbox. Colour of vans is red with parcel force worldwide written on the side. Parcel force is a global company you can send to every country in the world. Parcel force is losing the plot. I don’t buy from companies that use parcel force. ...  Read the complete review

Needed a delivery urgently so organised a Parcel Force 24 guaranteed next day Saturday delivery, which cost £25. Package collected 1PM on Friday, by 5PM tracking system lists status as on route to hub and expected delivery date the following day. And then .... nothing. Package doesn't turn up on Saturday. I miss my train and have to cancel ...  Read the complete review

That is it! I have had it with Parcelforce. They are the most incompetent, useless bunch of individuals I have ever had to do business with. I sell on the internet and send in the post items of 11-20kgs in weight. Not only do I regularly have an item go "missing", but I also have parcels turning up unwrapped with missing ...  Read the complete review

I sent my son and his family some Easter Eggs through an on-line chocolate company - yes for Easter. Although online tracking suggested that the package was originally out for delivery on 4 April, no card was placed through his letterbox until second attempt on 5 April. The card indicated that he should either phone to arrange redelivery or ...  Read the complete review

A few weeks ago, I tried to send something via Parcelforce, and they failed again and again to come and collect. It took them 5 days and 4 failed attempts to collect the item in question. By this time I had lost a long-standing customer. So, thanks for that then, Parcel Force. I made a vow there and then never to use them ...  Read the complete review

Parcelfarce are a bunch of imcompetent idiots. 10 days after ordering a ps3 from play, this damn parcel still hasn't arrived! How long can it really take for a parcel to travel three hundred miles. The funniest part of this fiasco is that the parcel is apparently at a depot only 15 miles away. I'm sure DHL could have had this package twice round ...  Read the complete review

PARCEL FORCE - WORLDWIDE!!! THEY STRUGGLE GETTING IT FROM MANCHESTER TO OLDHAM - ABSOLUTE CRAP SERVICE. GAMEPLAY ARE WRONG TO USE THEM AS THEIR COURIERS.

ABSOLUTELY NO STARS WHATSOEVER - IN FACT CAN WE HAVE MINUS STARS?

ONLY GAVE EM ONE STAR BECAUSE THE SITE FORCED ME INTO IT. RUBBISH!!!

Parcelforce is absolutely useless. I bought a DVD player. It was delivered in a damaged package. When I set it up it didn't work. I contacted the supplier. Told to return it. Got in touch with parcelforce customer services, told by them to lodge a complaint. I am absolutely disgusted by Parcelforce. The woman on the phone was rude and ...  Read the complete review

If you are in business never ever use parcelforce as a delivery service. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with, they have absolutely no customer service, they rip you off on telephone calls when there is a problem, they should remove the word urgent from all parcelforce staff vocabulary, in fact it should be surgically removed, as they ...  Read the complete review

I live in Greece and I regularly shop through the internet. The ONLY company I've ever had any problems with was ParcelForce. Every time I order from the UK, ANY other shipping method, ensures deliver in 4-5 working days (shipment on a Monday, delivery on Thursday or Friday the latest). And by "ANY" I mean, even shipments made through ...  Read the complete review

I sent a Sony TV to a London address on the 29/12/2006 by Parcel Force it was tracked No SN0101494 to London West LD depot at Concord Road Acton London at 04.35 on the 30/12/2006 and then disappeared. I phoned London on the 3/01/07 to see why the parcel was not delivered and was told they could not find it. Also the person that was to ...  Read the complete review

Parcelforce didnt deliver bike for my daughters birthday. Due to New Year holiday, Parcelforce 24 turned into Parcelforce 6 days!! A very broken hearted 7 year old girl with no birthday present. A bike is a big gift, so I hadnt got her anything else. That day will go down in history in her wee mind. To add insult to injury, she had to ...  Read the complete review

I USED PARCELFORCE TO RECEIVE A SHIPMENT FROM THE UK IN PORTUGAL,HOPING THAT IT'LL BE FASTER THAN REGULAR MAIL .
I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE PARCEL ALMOST A WEEK OVER.
AND TRYING TO GET SOME INFORMATION (BY PHONE OR EMAIL) HAS BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT.
AVOID IT!

Parcelforce are utter rubbish. Their staff are inconsistent, uninformed and unhelpful. I have been trying for a month to have a parcel delivered to my local post office after I wasn't at home the first time. Each time it was supposed to be at the post office it wasn't there, they couldn't say why and just suggested I rearrange for it to be sent to ...  Read the complete review

Parcelforce are absolute rubbish. Last week I ordered an item from Amazon.co.uk and paid for next day first class delivery. For some strange reason they dispatched via Parcelforce, not first class regular post. It still hasn't arrived 5 business days later. Their tracking says delivery has been attempted 4 times, two of which were after 8pm. They are liars! I have been home in the evening, not one card was left!

DO NOT USE!! I had a laptop which I ordered via ebay and was sent on the 24 hour service. Having not received the parcel by 8pm I checked online tracking. was horrified to read that apparently 'I' had signed for it at 6.22pm and taken receipt. I wasn't even in the house at 6.22! The signature wasn't even mine. I was left completely speechless and ...  Read the complete review

Be warned senders from the US, if you send by Express Mail this grossly negligent delivery company automatically gets the parcel. This service is unsatisfactory in that the parcel sent was misdelivered. It seems to me that a company that specializes in transporting mail should be able to deliver to the addressee. Simple, really to carry an object ...  Read the complete review

Please don't leave a comment about the language because I feel that is appropriate for the review. Parcel force delivers things that are not delivered by Post Office. It is a sister company to Royal Mail. I have no gripes with the employees. I am very happy with the management. In the past few years many of the ...  Read the complete review

I hope Uncle Nige hsn't had the same experience as me. Parcelforce's site (after two days of being down) showed repeated unsuccessful attempts to find the house. This in a street of ten houses! No-one has ever had any difficulty before. After the common experience of waiting fifteen minutes listening to the soundtrack to a 70s B movie, someone ...  Read the complete review

Paid hundreds of dollars for the delivery from USA, arrived in UK, I did not get any letters for paying the customs charge. I called Parcel Force about 3 times so they send me a letter. Last time I called I've been told I would get a letter sent to my address, and the day after my Item gets sent back to USA!!! I call them and apparently there is ...  Read the complete review
