Parcelforce Reviews

Yet another tale of woe about Parcelforce (or Parcel Farce - a more accurate description). My main gripe about this company is their being totally out of touch with the modern world. One Wednesday in March they ambled up the path to our house with a rather large parcel of items I had ordered from a specialist Peter Rabbit shop abroad. ...  Read the complete review

I think I must first explain that I am writing this as an employee of Parcelforce, so a not to cloud the matter. The critisicms I have read mainly focus on deliveries made by Parcelforce from mail order companies. From reading most of them, I feel that it is harsh to put the blame for the problems entirely onto Parcelforce, as most of ...  Read the complete review

Im not sure what Drives the couiers employed by parcel force. Maybe they have an incentive scheme that encourages them to race each other back to the depot, then gloat over how many items they managed to break. There's not many compamies that I dislike, but I've really taken an exception with Parcel force. They are, in short... USELESS!! ...  Read the complete review

I've read a number of reviews about Parceforce on this site and was totally shocked to see that they are consistently so bad. I have had parcels delivered twice by parcelforce now, the first time was fine, absolutely no problems atall. The delivery man came while I was at work and I phoned to arrange redelivery the following day (which I had ...  Read the complete review

Ahhh Parcelforce. Where can I possibly start? I have had so many problems with this company, that I am now reduced to the point of trying not to order from online sites which only use this company as their carrier. Living in a rural area and not owning a car, I do an awful lot of shopping, from food to clothing to luxuries and gifts, ...  Read the complete review

To be honest, I don't know where to start. I have to use Parcelforce because an internet shop uses them as their sole courier. So, stick with it as I tell you of my experience:- PROBLEM ONE: My computer breaks. I order components on next day, evening delivery. Parcelforce try to deliver them at mid-day. How does that work? ...  Read the complete review

Thinking that Parcel Force are a sub-division of the Royal Mail, you would of thought that they would have been professional but having delt with them recently and reading other peoples comments on them I really have to wonder why they are still around. Before I start, it was reported in the paper at the begining of December 2001 that ...  Read the complete review

It was actually quite a relief to see that I wasn't the only person in this world to have consistent trouble with Parcelforce. I was beginning to feel really unlucky... I felt unlucky because my parcels simply didn't arrive. But when I contacted Parcelforce to try and track them down, I was made to feel as if I was being ...  Read the complete review

Having recently read someone else's op on Parcelforce and given the service a "thumbs down" I thought perhaps I better explain the reasons behind that rather harsh judgement and let you decide for yourselves whether or not it's deserved..... Parcelforce Worldwide is, according to them, the UK's largest parcel ...  Read the complete review

Here is a nightmare to beat all nightmares. So come wash your smelly feet in my pool of stress & mental damage. On the 10th of this month i ordered some parts for my computer from Overclockers.co.uk. Normally it takes about a week and a half. Not this time. 2 weeks went by and I saw no sign of my package. So I rang Parcel Force with my ...  Read the complete review

Parcelforce Worldwide [Background: Parcelforce is the parcel delivering, courier 'wing' of the Post Office / Royal Mail - or 'Consignia' as they now like to be called. It is also the largest company in this particular market sector. Their slogan reads 'Take It As Red', although I take exception to their ability to ...  Read the complete review

I have had parcels of books delivered by Parcelforce on many occasions and they really make me annoyed. If I'm not in they leave a card with a phone number so that I can phone them and arrange delivery. When I phone they always try to get out delivering by telling me it would be easier if I collected. I don't drive so that is ...  Read the complete review

I have been unfortunate enough to have had several mail order items sent to me using Parcelforce. I have never had a hassle-free service from them. On many occasions the items have been late. Every single time they have tried to deliver when I was at work and my "local" depot is 30 miles away and I have no car, so trying to ...  Read the complete review

I've had a few things posted to me via Parcelforce (mail order stuff where I didn't choose to use them) and it amazes me just how bad they are. Is it so difficult to transport a parcel to someone's house when the parcel has a great big address written on it? I had ordered some computer peripheral from Dabs.com (who ...  Read the complete review

I've never actually used Parcelforce myself but I've been on the receiving end of its "service" on more than one occasion and it is, in my experience, very rarely efficient. What really annoys me is that Parcelforce won't deliver on a Saturday, despite the fact that most of us work Monday to Friday and therefore have to make ...  Read the complete review
