“I have been waiting for a week for my package to be collected! I called GLS and spoke to an extremely rude and disinterested member of staff also. I am requesting a full refund for the lack of service I have received.”

Thank you for your feedback, Sara. We are very sorry for the issues you have experienced with your collection. As our courier partner are a third party company, we cannot comment on their behalf, we can only apologise on behalf of how you feel you were treated. We do ask that, if a collection fails, to contact us directly so that we may rearrange this for you. I can see that the collection has been attempted during the hours of 8am-7pm as advised in our Terms and Conditions however no contact was available for this; as our courier partner sets the time-frame for collections, we may only request more specific time-frames however, these are not always guaranteed. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please contact us directly and we will be more than happy to help.

Please allow an additional day than normal for collection and delivery.' We do understand that this is now outside of the time-frame; unfortunately this issue is entirely out of our control and we can only profusely apologise for this on our courier's behalf. I can see that you have been in correspondence with a member of our customer support team with regards to this who has advised that the tracking information should begin to update shortly. Again, please accept our sincerest apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please contact us directly and we will be more than happy to help.

“I booked a parcel to be collected from Spain on Monday and delivered to Dublin on Tuesday. It never arrived, I have been chasing this and can't get any information. If I hadn't checked I would never have been informed that it hadn't even been collected. I have basically paid for a courier service and nothing has happened and I can't get any information.”

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the issues you have experienced with your shipment. I can see that you have been in contact with Aaron from our customer support team with regards to this. At the moment, we believe that the initial collection was unsuccessful. Aaron is currently liaising with TNT in order to ascertain this and to reschedule this collection however, as advised, TNT's systems have unfortunately been down throughout this week. Because of this, TNT have been unable to provide us with any further information and unfortunately, are unable to do so until their systems are back up and running. This matter is, of course, extremely rare, and unfortunately beyond our control. As soon as we are are able to get an update from TNT with regards to this issue, our customer support team will be in touch via email to advise on how we can proceed and seek a resolution. Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please contact us directly and we will be more than happy to help.

Please email us directly at info@irishparcels.ie with photos and details of the damage and we will investigate this further with our courier in order to pursue a claim.

“I dont know if it is your fault or the company GLS, but something went wrong and I have paid for two shipments from Ireland to Denmark for only one order. It went wrong as I checks my track and trace number , and discovered that GLS, wrote that my pick up had failed, because there was no order to pick up. I got worried and wrote a mail to you, and you told me to book again, and so I did, you said that I could get a refund for the failed pick up. You wrote again and said that the refund was refused because the order was picked up......But you didn't give me a refund for the new order I booked, instead I have received an order I never ordered, so someone is missing their order.”

Posted 6 years ago

Thank you very much for your feedback and for using Irish Parcels. I can see that you booked one shipment with us and, as well, re-booked a second shipment. As per the tracking information on each of these shipments, items were successfully collected and delivered on both occasions, which is why this refund was refused. If you believe that the incorrect items may have been handed over from DSV on one occasion, you would need to clarify this with both DSV and the delivery side, because as per the tracking information, our courier fulfilled both shipments that were booked. If you have any further questions about this, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

Hi Mark, thank you for your review. I can see you booked an economy service to send a parcel from Ireland to Australia. We also offer an express service if the items were urgent. Did you get in touch when the item was not collected to book another collection? If you miss the collection or the driver does not arrive we can book another collection as soon as we are made aware of this. Simply email, live chat or phone us and we will be happy to help.

“The delivery man didn't help carry my boxes. I had 5 and I leave on the first floor of a block of apartments. I had to carry all of them by myself and one of them was close to 20kg. Not a good service in my opinion”

Posted 6 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you feel let down in this case. As our courier is a third party company, we are unable to comment on their behalf. However, we will certainly pass this feedback on to them. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please do let me know and I will be more than happy to help.

“Service advertised as tnt, which was the reason we chose it as continuous tracking but GLS was courier for pick-up. GLS picked up a day late. Had to chase Irish parcels the following day to ensure it was picked up. Tracking stops when GLS hand over to UK courier.”

Posted 6 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the confusion in this case. We have checked this on our side and can see that the service advertised is GLS however, the image shown may have been TNT. We are unsure what may have caused this however, if this is the case, we are very sorry for any confusion. As per the price of the shipment, the service booked was GLS, as booking TNT for this shipment would have come in at a much higher price. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“Parcel not picked up on time. Unreliable.”

Posted 6 years ago

Thank you for your feedback, Maureen. We are very sorry that your shipment was not collected on the expected date. Although the vast majority of our collections and deliveries take place on the expected date, we recognise that factors beyond our control may cause delays. For this reason, we stipulate that our service is not time-guaranteed, only estimated. We can only apologise on behalf of our courier partner for this inconvenience, and we will certainly pass on this feedback to them. I can see that the item was delivered within the specified time-frame of 1-2 working days. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“There's really not much that went right over the three times that we gave Irish Parcels a go. Drivers that never turn up, don't use their phones to keep you informed - apparently he got stopped by Garda for having a 'bald tyre' (his words, not mine), making him 2 days late - threw our FRAGILE parcel into the truck. GLS was contacted to deliver and they just kept the inefficiency up to the last. Our customer was furious. I.P have used vry excuse not to give a full refund....There will NOT be a fourth offer made.”

Posted 6 years ago

Thank you for your feedback, Nick. We are very sorry that you feel this way and we sincerely apologise for the negative experience you have had. We take this type of feedback very seriously as we always strive to provide our customers with the best service possible. We are very sorry that you feel let down by our courier partner - as advised via email correspondence, we will pass this feedback onto our courier who will internally investigate this further. As a booking agent we do offer more than one courier service and would always advise on using a service more suited to your needs. As the items are sent on a non-guaranteed service we are not reimbursed any of the costs of the shipments for a delay of any sort by the courier. However, I can see that our customer support team has offered compensation in line with our terms and conditions. Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let us know and we will be happy to help.

“My parcel has been lost in Spain and no one can find it”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that your item has not yet been delivered. Although the vast majority of our deliveries take place on the expected date, we recognise that factors beyond our control may cause delays. We believe that this delay has been caused due to the tracking label coming off the item. Without a tracking label the item cannot move through the automated systems. The item needs to be identified and re-labelled before being sent on for delivery. I can see that our customer support team is currently liaising with our courier in order to get this issue resolved. As soon as we receive an update from our courier, our customer support team will be in touch. We thank you for your patience and co-operation with this. If you have any further questions in the meantime, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“My purchased was damaged using your service”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that your item was damaged. Instances of damage are extremely rare, and so we regret that this has happened in your case. We believe that this damage may have been caused due to insufficient packaging. I can see that our customer support team are currently liaising with our courier in order to investigate this further. As soon as there is an update on this, our customer support team will be in touch with you. Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

“I sent 3 boxes and a suitcase at the same time from Cork (Ireland) to Spain. I just received the 3 boxes and the messenger didn't know anything about the suitcase. Today I received an email from another company saying that my suitcase is in Coventry?!?!? I'm very dissapointed with this service.”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback, Daniel. We are very sorry for the delay with your suitcase. Although the vast majority of our shipments arrive on the expected date, we recognise that factors beyond our control may cause delays. Although it is rare, it is possible for larger consignments to be separated during transit. I can see that the delay to your suitcase was caused due to the shipping labels coming off the item. This meant that the courier needed to identify the item in the main sorting centre in Coventry before sending it on its way to its final destination. Our customer support team has followed up on this, and I can see that your item is now on its way from Coventry. As stated in our Terms and Conditions, we recommend against sending suitcases due to these reasons. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“Well i wasted €20 trying to ring and see why deliveqy man didnt come when they where meant to he never came and didnt txt me to tell me he wasnt”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the issues you experienced with your collection. Although the vast majority of our collections and deliveries take place on the expected date, we recognise that factors beyond our control may cause delays. I can see that unfortunately the driver ran out of time on the expected collection date and was unable to fulfill this pick-up. We are very sorry about this. I can see that, after speaking with a member of our customer support team who worked to resolve this issue, the item was collected the following day. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“This service is so unprofessional I could not recommend it to anyone. There is a lack of communication between Irish Parcels and TNT who is the actual courier. Neither take responsibility for the order and Mcellistrum it is placed and will redirect you to Irish revenue to source tariff numbers if your parcel is going outside the EU. Delivery people are unhelpful and I waited over a week for a parcel to be collected that never was.”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that your item has not yet been collected. As stated in our Terms and Conditions, which are agreed to upon booking, collections that fail are not automatically rebooked and you must contact us to arrange another collection. We would be more than happy to seek a resolution to this issue for you, please contact us directly via phone or email. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.

“Booked overnight delivery, but was delivered 2 days later. Very bad service.”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Jurgita, thank you for taking the time to get in touch. Please accept our apologies in regards to the delay. As the delivery date is estimated, it is not a guaranteed time frame. 97% of items are delivered within the estimated time frame, I am very sorry your item was delivered just outside this time frame.

“Very bad experience as the driver who was supposed to pick up my order attempted the pick-up outside of the pick-up location's opening hours 3 days in a row (despite knowing the hours). I never received my goods but had to pay anyways.”

Posted 7 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the issues you experienced with this. As advised via email correspondence, our collection times are between 9am-7pm, and unfortunately we are unable to guarantee that the driver will collect at any specific time. As well, as stated within our Terms and Conditions, failed collections with GLS are charged at 50% of the order total and any refunds offered will be limited to 50% of the order total. I can see that this refund has been issued, and should be with you within 3-5 days of being processed. Again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do let me know and I will be more than happy to help.

“I booked and paid for the service from GLS of having a package picked up and delivered in ireland. The whole process was very unsatisfactory altogether. Firstly the driver failed to show when scheduled date arrived on package label, on top of that he claimed he could not find address which was totally untrue. next day I had to call courier company . Was told courier would be collecting that day which he did. Next day my customer phoned to say no package arrived. checked on line tracking to discovery that courier again had a untrue statement that box was not ready to go (he had already collected previous day). turned out he had left it on van overnight and it missed the next day delivery. had to phone them again and also emailed them to find out. worst service I ever used as in GLS. They will never be used by us here again. The collection and delivery took 5 days. It would have been in the UK quicker.”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi there, please accept our apologies in regards to this issue. I can see you were in touch with our colleague Jodie who liaised with the courier to get this collected and to find out why a delay took place. In this case it was genuine human error that led to this delay. Please accept our apologies again in regards to this and rest assured that instances of this nature are rare.
