“The service provided was superb- got help with customs, labels etc. pick up was very prompt. Unfortunately I was shipping a China set and was sent an email stating that as the items were fragile its transport was at my own risk. I should have heeded this as the set although we’ll protected and bubble wrapped looked like it had been catapulted to the US from Ireland by the time it landed in pieces, holes punched in the side of the box etc. Absolutely no care was taken whatsoever with what was clearly labelled as fragile. I’ve since had to email the company so that they might forewarn customers that they do not have the capability to transport fragile items and should clearly state this to customers instead of taking a hefty sum to basically destroy your items. Very very poor!!”

Hello Helene Moran, thank you for your feedback and for using Irish Parcels. I am glad you found our staff helpful and I am very sorry about any damage to your shipment. Any form of damage is rare so I am very sorry about this. All shipments will be transported on conveyer belts and in and out of a number of vans, we do not recommend sending very fragile items. Packaging is very important and a china set is an extremely delicate item, we would say that each item should be within a box with bubble wrap and protection, then these smaller boxes can be transported within a larger box. This is to stop any of the china hitting off itself which can cause damage even though bubble wrap. I hope this information helps. We are available via email, phone and livechat if there is anything else we can help you with.

If you miss the collection or it fails you can rebook another collection free of charge online from your tracking page. If you need to rebook your collection again please contact us, we are available via phone, email and livechat, we can arrange this all for you. We are disappointed with a 1 star review in this instance, I can arrange for a manager to contact you if that suits you?

“The delivery driver never showed up. The tracking system only advised "head office". I phoned to make a complaint and they refused to accept any responsibility and hung up on me. The manager I emailed said that I was abusive to his staff. I was not. I asked him to escalate it to his superiors but he refused. No parcel, no apology and no resolution to the complaint. Very poor service. Use anyone else.”

Hello Declan Hannafin, this is your 2nd negative review you have left. I can see you booked a shipment to send within Ireland. You are at the delivery side, rather that the collection side and the collection did not happen (item may have not been ready). The tracking shows that the parcel has not yet been collected. We explained this and offered you another collection at no cost. I understand you were argumentative with a staff member. We cancelled your order and fully refunded you. We would politely request you use another company for any future shipments.

Hello ANDRZEJ WRODARCZYK, we understand this review is about another company and not IrishParcels.ie, however, you said you do not know how to change the review and will not remove it. We are very disappointed to receive this 1 star review, especially as it is not about us. You book with two seperate courier companies and our shipment was the order that arrived on time. Our system shows your item was collected on time (21st April and delivered on time on the 24th April). We have a phone line that is answered on average within 2 rings and all emails in the last 12 months have been replied to within 2 hours, not 48 hours. Our phone number is clearly shown on our website. If you are able to update your review is would be greatly appreciated.

Hello David, thank you for using Irish Parcels. I can see the courier arrived to collect your item on the correct date, however, the gate was locked and there was no answer when they phoned. We arranged another collection for you free of charge. The packaging you used was very over-packed and bulging at the sides, it is very important to package your items correctly. The packaging you used was of very poor quality. We would recommend only sending electrical items in the original manufactures packaging. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused, if you need help with anything else please let us know and we would be happy to help.

“SCAM!!! Complete disaster!!! Do not use their services never!!! Some of my items were lost and they said it is impossible to find them, and the ones that arrived were broken. My big TV arrived with screen all smashed, clearly I could see that their put something heavy over the box of TV as the box was squashed in and very dirty, unbelievable!!! Two of the other boxes with valuable stuff like jewlery etc. arrived completely empty. I called to ask for a refund and they refused to send any money back, even the item delivery was covered. We tried to find their office in Dalkey as per address given in Google maps and we didn't find it when we arrived there... there was a private house under this address. We called to them asking about it and they said that their office is in Belfast... Looking in Google map you can not find their office in Belfast neither. Just a nightmare!!! They said that delivery will take up to 4 working days and the things arrived after 2 weeks. Avoid it!!! There are many better and safer options to send you things, unless you want your stuff to be stolen or broken then go ahead with Irish parcels!!! This is a SCAM, not a serious company!!!”

Hi there, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry if you have experienced any issues with your shipment. It is currently the 29th of September, you mentioned you booked a collection for the 21st of October. I can only assume you have typed the wrong month in your review. If a collection is missed or the driver does not arrive it will need to be rebooked, simply reply to our email, phone us or talk to us via Live Chat and we will book in another collection for you. I am very sorry if there has been any inconvenience. If there is anything else we can help with just ley is know and we would be happy to help.

“I am a small business owner, 24 years of age, and trying my best to make a future for myself in an expensive country. I secured an opportunity to have some of my products stocked in Carroll's Irish Gifts and as you can imagine I was elated with this achievement. I was delighted to come across Irish parcels, because it meant that I could send 30+ products in one box, for the same price as sending multiple small parcels with an post who I had always used. I carefully packaged up 6 parcels altogether, for 3 different Carroll's stores, applied the labels provided by Irish parcels, and sat back feeling incredibly proud after weeks of preparing this order. Unfortunately, things werent this simple. A dpd driver entered the reception of our work area while I was not there, and loaded the parcels to his van. He applied the labels incorrectly to the parcels, and rather than delivering to 3 locations, he delivered them all to one. Carroll's unpacked the boxes, later realising and informing us that they were not for their stores. These were then repacked, and uplifted by dpd. When they got to the correct stores, all the contents were smashed, and not fit for resale. Irish parcels have informed me that I am to blame, as I should have been present to hand over parcels. However the parcels were not left out by me, there was no sign for the driver to enter the building and take them, and had I known what time he would be collecting, or had he called me, I would have been on hand to make sure he correctly applied his barcodes to the boxes. I am at a huge loss as I have to pay for the parcels with the broken contents to be returned, I have to replace them, and once again pay for delivery to cork. I did all I could on my end, and I feel so disheartened after this whole ordeal. I worked so hard to do everything right, but it wasn't enough.”

Hi Laura Rahill, thank you for using Irish Parcels and for your feedback. I am very sorry if you had any issues with the courier you booked with Irish Parcels. We do advise parcels should be handed over to the driver and not be left unattended for collection. I am very sorry that the shipment was delivered to one address and not to the 3 separate addresses. I understand the damage was caused due to the items (glass candles) not being packaged correctly when being returned. I hope you can understand the packaging of the items are very important to ensure items are not damaged. You are dealing with a member of the Irish Parcels team and we will do everything we can do to help you with this issue. We are awaiting images of your item and the claim form so we can process this for you. I am very sorry for any inconvience that has been caused. If there is anything else we can help with simply reply to one of our emails and we would be happy to help or advise in any way we can.

You did not pick it up ItYou did not attempt to make any contact with us to check the delivery and you make it difficult to contact you for any explanation You also kept our money.

Dear Susan Madden, our reviews are automated and sent to all customers. The name you used on your booking was Arlington Hotel, this is the reason for this name in your review. We believe using "Arlington Hotel" as your name is also the reason your collection failed, as you did not provide a person's name for your collection, simply the hotel address. You provided your name for delivery but not collection. Your collection was attempted 3 times, however, no goods were available. If the courier and hotel staff did not have a name they may not have known what the driver was there to collect. You have not contacted us to request a refund, we allow one free additional collection attempt, however, now that 3 attempts were made for this shipment and you paid €16.48, the additional collection cost would be more than you paid for your shipment. If there is anything else we can help with simply let us know and we would be happy to help.

Dear YURI KROT / EOIN CADDEN, I can see you made a booking to send an item from CLARE to MONAGHAN with DPD on Irish Parcels. The booking was sent to DPD and the collection failed on the date booked (1st Feb) at 2pm. You contacted us at 5pm the following day (2nd Feb) about the item not being collected, we rebooked the collection and the item was collected the following day (3rd Feb). If the collection does fail or the item is not collected please contact us straight away so we can rebook another collection for you (at no cost). I can see your item is currently out for delivery. If there is anything else we can help with just let us know and we would be happy to help. We are disappointed with your review as we do not feel 1-star or your content is a fair representation of our service. I can arrange for a manager to contact you about this.

“Poor customer service. Don't take responsibility for their chosen courier DHL not the companies listed on their website. DHL have the highest additional charges, clearly to be seen on comparisons. Told that was a "conspiracy theory" and sarcastic attitude. Poor response to complaint. I'd advise against them.”

Dear Gemma Gallagher, thank you for your feedback. I am not sure I fully understand your comments above, I can see your shipment is currently being processed and should arrive on time. You send an item from the UK to Ireland and your customs forms declared your item as a purchase in the UK. Since Brexit items sent to/from the UK have to be processed by customs, this is not something to do with Irish Parcels or the courier, they simply process on behalf of the Irish Revenue. We can assist with any questions around duty and customs fees, simply email us info@irishparcels.ie and we would be happy to help. We are disappointed with a 1-star review as we do not feel this truly represents our services, all shipments have the same legal customs requirements and this is not just Irish Parcels or individual couriers.
