Giving 1 because was not able to give 0. I have asked for the package pick up from Irish Parcel few days ago. While waiting for the courier I called the customer service and apparently the driver had a problem with address. I was told on the phone that drivers do not have phones to call the customers and also they do not use gps. I was told to reschedule for another day adding additional details to my address (losing another day of work, and money as my company does not pay for this kind of leave). I was told by the agent as well to call Gls in the morning to ask them to tell the driver to call me once they are at the gate. I did that, the Gls agent forwarded my message to the driver. I was wasting my time again as nobody showed up and the Irish Parcel could not get an answer of why my package has not been picked up. Do not misunderstand the agents that were helping me were really nice and helpful but in the end of the day I have wasted more than 200 Euro due to staying at home and my parcel is still in my room.

I have been using this company for a number of years now without complaint. I made a mistake by topping up my account and had a parcel ready for collection but My top up amount was €2.08 short and I could not pay the difference with my credit card. I would have had to top up by €10 leaving a balance of 7.92 on my account which is a useless amount. As there was nothing I could do I asked for my money back and was told they do not refund. This is a scam as you will never be able to clear your account. I have never heard of a company that would not repay money that could not be used. If you use Irish Parcels don't use an account just pay as you are invoiced for. Very disappointed as I have more to be doing than than spending time in a small claims court but that is what I am going to do.

This is the worst service I have ever experienced with a courier company, was to pick up my parcel on a Thursday for deliver to the UK by Tuesday, they didn’t pick up on Thursday so rang support they scheduled for pick up on Friday. No show on Friday!!! I cancelled my shipping but low & behold GLS called for the parcel on Tuesday. Parcel was already in the UK shipped by UPS.

Absolutely horrendous service! Firstly the website isn't functioning on a safari browser, was advised to try on a computer with google chrome? Did this & still no avail, eventually had to ring to place an order over phone & despite spelling out delivery address, operator still got it wrong! Waiting days for package to be picked up at collection adddress (went to wrong house despite giving the exact post code) currently parcel still hasn't arrived despite delivery date being pushed back already. Avoid!!!

Was charged €88.65 for parcel to be sent to England next day delivery, it arrived at destination 6 days later worthless, we explained on phone it was flowers in a box, not a bouquet and they accepted that. The parcel was sitting in Dublin 'till tues morn before leaving for England now excuse is it was a prohibited item. They refuse to refund the money.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Irish Parcels. We are very sorry for any issues you experienced with our service. I can see that the reason your shipment was delayed was because it contained a prohibited item and should not have been sent with us in the first place, this is stated within our Terms and Conditions which are agreed to at the point of booking. I can see that our support team have advised of this on numerous occasions. Again, we apologise for this.

I was not very impressed with the service. Collection was good but the driver delivered the bikes to a nearby business as he said he couldn’t get them up our drive. I had to carry the large cumbersome box from the business to my house and supervise 2 small children and a springer spaniel. Our precious bikes must have been chucked about en route as one had a broken spoke, a broken bell and a dented scraped bottom bar. Very disappointing.

Absolutely useless. They accepted my order, a day later sent me labels via email and then when I asked them about the transit time via live chat, they said “oh this order should have never been accepted” , “we don’t cover this country because of customs issues, apologies” . I’m afraid that’s just not good enough for a professional company. They should be offering me compensation and the refund to my card will now take 2-4 days. Time wasters avoid at all costs.

My very poor rating is not directed at Irish Parcels, but their agent, GLS. I was guaranteed my shipment by no later than 1400 today. I rearranged my schedule to fit in with this and at 1520, I still have no delivery and it has now cost me money and embarrassment, because I have had to cancel all my rearranged meetings. Although, I had received an email this morning from Jodie , from Irish Parcels, saying that she was looking after my account. I have sent her two emails ,regarding this non delivery and she has still to respond. I am now sensing a trend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Irish Parcels, Jonathan. We are very sorry for any issues you experienced with our service. I can see that your shipment is out for delivery today, and is expected to be with you before 6pm this evening, which falls within the advised delivery time-frame that was provided at the point of booking. I am very sorry if you were advised of a specific time-frame for delivery, I am unsure who would have provided this to you. I'm afraid we at Irish Parcels would never guarantee any specific time-slot as our service is estimated, and as stated within our T+Cs, all of our collections and deliveries take place any time between 9am-6pm. The member of staff that you are referring to is currently out of the office, however, our support team does aim to respond to all email queries within 2 hours. We sincerely apologise if you feel let down by our service.

Hi Attila, thank you for your feedback. I understand you had a collection today which the driver attempted twice to collect but you were not available. We have now issued you a refund as you requested for this order.

First I was positive about the handling. Very efficient.But the 1st of June only 1 of the three parcels were delivered. The promise was to deliver three parcels on the 1st of June. Where are the other two parcels. This is very annoying, because my man in Antwerp was waiting. And where are the two other parcels? I found no info on the page for tracking orders.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Irish Parcels. We are very sorry for any issues you experienced with your Irish Parcels shipment. However, I can see that the collection was indeed attempted on the expected date. The driver was advised by the receptionist at the collection address that there was nothing there for him to collect. As he was refused, the driver had to leave. I can see that you then requested a cancellation and refund, as such, the collection was not rescheduled. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused, however, in this instance the courier did make every attempt to collect this shipment.
