Irish Parcels 5 star review on 1st February 2025

“On this occasion the experience was very disappointing. The parcel was to be collected on Thursday 28 February but was not collected until Monday 4 March. I had waited in at home all day on 28 Feb and 1 March. I was told on 1 March that the driver had called the previous day to collect the parcel but did not do so because it had not been packed correctly. This was completely untrue. Nobody had called. I was assured that someone would call to collect the parcel on 1 March by 6.30pm. This did not happen either. Eventually the parcel was collected on 4 March by a driver who had a handful of dockets for jobs that had not been collected the previous week because his colleague was ‘LAZY’. The whole experience was very disappointing indeed.”

“Very poor support, parcel was not collected on day I wqs told it would be. I contacted support and they told me the delivery window is 2 days. This was not written on the email I received. Who can wait in 2 days for a parcel to be collected. This should be made very clear at time of purchase”

“I have used Irish parcels before and found them just fantastic. This time I’m afraid I was so disappointed... maybe not with Irish parcels but with the courier. I book on a Thursday and was told collection would be made on Friday. We stayed in all day to be sure we were here when driver arrived. At about 3.30 I received a call from courier company saying the “driver couldn’t contact me” and was now “out of the area” but assured me it would be collected on Monday. On Monday another call to say the “driver couldn’t locate the house” even though I had supplied a post code. After a very fractious call on my part I contacted Irish parcels. Got a call back telling me that the “driver could t reach me by phone” on both days. That was absolutely not true. I had the phone with me all the time. Eventually on Tuesday the driver phoned me ( no problem this time!) and parcel was collected. If I had been told on Thursday that the parcel would be collected on Tuesday that would have been fine. Anyway that was my experience this time. I did find them just so efficient on previous occasions.”

“Ridiculous service. I booked an economy parcel to London from Dublin on Monday 7th Jan with GLS through Irish Parcels and was allocated a collection slot on Wednesday Jan 9th. It is now Monday Jan 14th, a full week after I booked my parcel for delivery and I have had to cancel my booking because no-one can guarantee that my parcel will be collected today. My advice to anyone reading this is to stay away from GLS. The economy service was half the price of the express service but one week later I am now having to pay the extra money and shift to TNT's overnight delivery. Absolutely crazy !!”

“Booked a parcel through Irish Parcels through GLS to go to London from Galway. All I got was empty promises. It was to be collected since Tuesday and despite numerous phone calls and emails it’s still not collected. I’m absolutely fuming. If I was told honestly I could have changed couriers. Why say you will do something if you don’t mean it. It was paid for online. Gutted. Disappointed. Let down. By the way I still want it delivered. ADAP”

Hi Eimear, thank you for your review. I understand customer service are looking into this, as the courier GLS advise that a parcel was handed to them on your collection date. Our customer service team will keep you updated on the progress of this item. Have a great Christmas!

“Warning do not use this company to send your parcels. Parcel stolen and no refund given even with the insurance: bad customer service. I will not use them ever again. Better to pay more and use Anpost to send parcels.”

Hi Carolyn Byrne, thank you for your feedback. I understand you have been in touch with customer service who have issued you a full refund. You booked a GLS service that was due to be collected from your address, however, you left your parcel at a local shop for collection. We would not advise you to do this unless that was the collection address booked and you had the shops permission. You can only drop off at GLS depots with Irish Parcels. You would need to collect the item from the local shop that you left your item at, we are unable to do this, we do not have any of the shops details and is not a service we offer. I hope you understand.

“I've placed 17 orders with Irish Parcels over the past year or so and about 1 in 4 have had problems, between the courier not showing up to collect a parcel, or showing up at 7PM!!. There is no communication when something goes wrong, my most recent order was cancelled without notifying me, because there was "no address informaton" - Irish parcels don't allow you to place an order without supplying address information!!”

“No collection was made by Irish parcels on the date specified for collection. Waited 6 days for collection and no one could give an answer on why it wasn't collected or when it was going to be collected. Our parcel did not arrive to the UK for the date we needed it to so we are very disappointed. main branch could not get through to the limerick Depot until the following week where they still couldn't get a straight answer from them on why it happened and when it would be collected. Had to cancel irish parcels and use another company. However the costumer care team are very friendly but I would advise phoning instead of emailing as the matter will get dealt with quicker.”

“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.”

I can see that this collection has been attempted numerous times, however, our courier partner have stated that no contact has been available to hand the shipment over each time. I can see that our customer support team has reached out to you via email about this to confirm a suitable collection date where someone will be available at the address. Please respond at your earliest convenience so that we can ensure the shipment is collected and delivered as quickly as possible.

“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.”

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.

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.
