“Good service up to time when make payment Parcel not delivery in time still waiting. Dylan from Customer Service try be so clever and push customer to contact with some other provider Not recommended very poor service”

Posted 1 year ago

Hi Marcin, when you book with Irish Parcels, we are a booking agent and not a courier, therefore, there may be instances where you might need to contact the courier directly to provide additional information. In your situation, the item is currently stuck in customs as they need further information as soon as possible in order to clear the item. Unfortunately, customs is outside both ours and the courier's control however they would have tried to contact the receiver in the delivery country to resolve this as quickly as possible. We can ask the courier for as much information as possible however there are instances such as this where the courier will need to speak to the receiver or yourself.

“The delivery got completely destroyed. It was insured and not on the list of exemption, yet Irish parcels did refuse to reimburse for the damage. This is not just poor but on the border to criminal behaviour....”

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for feedback. We are very sorry if there was any damage to the items you sent with Irish Parcels. We are the booking agent for your shipment and we work with the courier on your behalf. Damage is extremely rare on any of our couriers services and we sincerely regret that this happened in your case, as this is not the type of experience we wish for any of our customers to have. Unfortunately, the item sent was a non-compensation item. This is specified in our Terms and Conditions. We advise that these items are sent entirely at your own risk. Despite this, we did still try to pursue a claim with our courier for compensation on your behalf, as all claims are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. However, this was rejected by our courier and unfortunately this decision is beyond our control. I can see that, as a result of this, you were offered a form of compensation from Irish Parcels 7 months ago, however, we did not receive any response to this. I hope you can understand we were in the middle trying our best for you, but as you willingly shipped a non-compensation item there was nothing further we could do. I would like to apologise again for the inconvenience that has been caused and can assure you that this is a very rare occurrence. Irish Parcels ships thousands of items without any problems and I am very sorry that your item was not one of them.

“Book and paid for 2 parcels to be collected, got two parcel labels but only one parcel delivered, still waiting on response from Irish Parcels to find out whats going on”

Posted 7 months ago

Dear Barry, I understand you booked a collection from an Auction House and you were not at the collection side. We booked in 2 parcels and provided you with 2 labels, as you mentioned. From the tracking, I can only see the whole shipment which was collected and delivered on time. If there is anything missing from the shipment please contact the sender, which is the Auction House. I will have a colleague email you more information now about this. We are very disappointed with a 1-star review as we did everything correctly and hope you understand that it was no fault of Irish Parcels. If there is anything else we can do just let us know and we would be happy to help.

“Worst service in the world. It has been a month and still hasn't been delivered. 20 emails so far. They expect people to hold on to the receipts from 5 years back. If you don't have receipt no claim form. I just want my courier to be delivered not your money. It is your responsibility to deliver it safe. Stop putting pressure on your customer by asking them fill a form with a million details. And asking them for receipts for household items. This is madness.”

Posted 8 months ago

Dear Shanmugasibi Mathialagan, thank you for your feedback. I can see we are currently assisting you with a compensation claim and two of my colleagues have been providing you support via email. You do not need receipts for claims, simply proof of value, this can simply be a website screenshot of the value, value needs to be assigned to items so they can be paid out. If you have any questions or if there is anything we can help with just let us know and we would be happy to help in any way we can.

“I needed to get a parcel to London for my grandsons birthday. I was delighted they picked it up and delivered it on time as promised I would use them again”

“Perfect and prompt collection and delivery from start to finish, ending with a Family receiving an unexpected "cheer up & smiles" parcel days earlier than expected. So THANK YOU Irish Parcels for making this possible, and for all that you and your great Drivers do.”

“Wouldn’t trust them to deliver pizza! Booked and paid for the collection of a parcel from the UK.(80x80x40) The next morning I had to ring their office to get the labels sent. At the end of that day when the parcel should have been picked up, i get an email saying their system shouldn’t have allowed me to book the parcel as it was too big for the courier to collect. Instead of trying to get an alternative courier to Honour their contract they simply cancelled it, leaving me without a courier I’d already paid for. Be aware, under their terms and conditions they can cancel a contract at any time. They are not a courier company, they are a booking agent and an absolute joke of a company. They have no idea what customer service is. When I complained to their representative he told me their system had taken bookings it shouldn’t have several times that weekend. As if that made it alright. From their website I quote “there are no set size or weight limits”. Do yourself a favor, if you value your parcel go directly to the courier companies. Will never use again”

Hello Austin, we are an online parcel shipping website and do not offer pizza delivery, I am not sure why you would mention this. You have left a number of 1-star reviews online about Irish Parcels, but you have never actually used our service. I have sent you a Trust Pilot message (as cannot send one on Google) in order to get your details so I can look into this for you. I am very sorry if your item was too large for the courier to take. We deal in parcel shipping and it seems your item is very large and not suitable to send as a parcel.

“Very very disappointed first off parcel delivered to the wrong address although the address was very clear and when did find where it was delivered to the contents where damaged will never use this crowd again”

Posted 1 year ago

Dear Tanya, we understand that you sent a tin of paint with our service that was only wrapped in paper and a plastic bag. This is not appropriate packaging and paint should never be sent, it can leak and cause damage to other items. Please do not send any more items on our service, it is dangerous to members of staff if items like this are shipped. We have emailed you about this a number of times.

Supposed to come back on Monday then Tuesday, then Wednesday. I waited in all day for the 3 days. am I to wait in for the rest of the week ? but which I cannot.”

“My parcel broke dawn. And I lose 290 euros.”

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry if you experienced any issues with your Irish Parcels shipment. I can see that the shipment was collected and delivered within the expected time-frame and you have not been in contact with our customer support team with regards to any issues. If you need assistance with your shipment, please contact our customer support team directly and we will be more than happy to help. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

“GLS did not collect on their suggested collection day. At closes of business on that day it was changed on system to "In Transit". It was Friday and no one was contactable until Monday.”

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry if you experienced any issues with your Irish Parcels shipment. Although the vast majority of our collections take place on the expected date, Irish Parcels is not a time-guaranteed service, only estimated. We recognise that occasional delays may occur due to factors beyond our control. I can see that a member of our customer support team rescheduled this collection free of charge, however, was not made aware that the item was left at a GLS ParcelShop. GLS advised that they were surprised that the GLS Parcel Shop accepted this item as the item was prepaid and this is not normal protocol. This rescheduled collection attempt then failed as the driver went to the original collection address provided at booking. I can see that, once we were made aware of this, our customer support team requested that the driver collect from the GLS ParcelShop, despite this being beyond normal protocol. I can see that the item was then collected and has since been delivered successfully. Again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions, please do let us know and we will be more than happy to help.

“Collecting day was 25.7 time frame from 9:00 to 18:00. Nobody collected my parcel that day. I contacted Irish parcel via live chat told them that problem all I got after 15 minutes was number for GLS what I can find on google in 15 seconds. Useless”

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for any issues you experienced with your collection. Although the vast majority of all of our collections and deliveries take place on the expected date, Irish Parcels is not a time-guaranteed service, only estimated. I can see that you contacted us via live chat before 6pm on the day of your collection; as the collections can take place right up until 7pm, you were provided with the contact number for the courier to enquire when the driver would be with you. This number is provided as Irish Parcels does not have direct contact with our courier partner's drivers, and this is the best way to get a more specific time for the collection. Unfortunately, the collection did fail after this time. However, I can see that it was collected successfully the following day. Again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions about your shipment, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

“Arrange collection of one parcel and then another, but the 2nd was going to be collected the next day so I called to see if they could both be collected the same day, it was suggested I phone carrier - what am I paying IrishParcels for? Collection of first parcel was at 10 to 6, so whole day wasted with no indication of collection time and driver would not take 2nd parcel although he said it would be him collecting the next day, also he could not narrow down between 9am and 6pm when he would collect. Very unlikely to use service again.”

Thank you for your feedback, Daragh. We are very sorry you feel let down by the service. With regards to the collection time-frame, we do advise within our Terms and Conditions that all of our collections and deliveries take place between 9am-6pm. We may be able to narrow down this time-frame on the day however, we are unable to guarantee this as these times are set upon by our courier partners. Your first collection took place within the advised time-frame. With regards to your second collection, our customer support would have advised to contact the courier directly to enquire whether this could be collect a day in advance as this would be at the courier's discretion. Typically, collecting items ahead of when they are actually booked can cause complications with the shipment, potentially causing delays; which is why the driver ultimately refused to do this. With regards to Irish Parcels' role; we are the booking agent for your shipment. We offer courier services at a significantly discounted rate in comparison to booking these directly. Again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused in this case.

“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.”

Posted 4 years ago

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.

“Parcel still not delivered your tracking system showing in transit . At the time of booing it's showing 2 to 3 days it was urgent document Found Very bad service need our money back now it's useless for us .”

Thank you for your feedback, Riaz. We are very sorry that your item has not arrived. It is advised during booking, 'Please note that TNT is experiencing some delays due to an IT update. 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 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.”

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.

“Booked a parcel on Thursday 1st june, wasnt picked up until the 7th June, customer was meant to have it by 8th of june and wont have it until 15th June at the latest now, hes not happy, it makes me look bad and Im not happy”

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.
