“I would not use this useless company, lazy ba57ards dropped of a card and made me pick up my parcel 8 miles away from my home. I hope they go bust and some competent provider takes over their undeserved businesses. Sorry no opportunity to give zero star rating”
“This absolute useless company single handedly screwed over my visa application to UK.
I was expecting important documents from my wife, and they did not arrive in time for my interview.
We paid for overnight delivery Thursday at noon, and a week later it still had not arrived.
No tracking numbers provided (well, one was given by an employee..but it was incorrect.. when we went back, a second employee said it was not possible to get a tracking number once overseas to Canada).
Do yourself a favour, and never ever EVER trust even a birthday card with these incompetent fools.
Utterly disgusted with lack of service provided, and the sheer amount of stress added in mine and my wife's life in what was supposed to be a joyous moment.”
“Absolutely horrible courier company.
First they didn't collect on the day that I had booked it for and was confirmed by parcel force.
Then the second time around it was collected as stated by the sender but they couldn't find it on their system so I contacted them directly, was transferred a couple of times and the "lady" I spoke to on the phone wasn't eager to work at all and as I wished to complain she just hung up on me!!!
Absolutely unprofessional and bad customer service. Avoid at all costs. I will definitely do so from now!”
“Very incompetent company. Cannot deliver next day, Not even three days later on a next day delivery. Staff at the Gatwick depot are cheeky when you ring to ask where the deliveries are. After cancelling the orders from a high street store simply due to Parcelforce's poor performance, they tried to deliver on the fourth day! Again, after ensuring that the company had cancelled, they tried to deliver again! No delivery was left but cards were put through the door both days. Now Parcelforce have said they need to collect the items that they never delivered. What an absolute shambles Parcelforce are. I will never buy anything from any supplier that states that they will deliver through these jokers.”
“How do you give "zero" stars? Can't be a coincidence that nearly every parcel has gone missing or they have "left a card" which my customers can never find. Dreadful company”
“By fAr the worst company in the world .
I bought a something costing almost £700 and it has not been delivered , it states that it is in the NATIONAL HUB . I’ve been waiting for about 2/3 weeks now .. still haven’t received it”
“Given a delivery day so stayed in and parcel got sent back to depot with no attempt whatsoever to deliver it . Next day same again and rang customer services who just cut me off , so two days just sat in for nothing . If i could give this cowboy outfit a minus rating i would . I have ordered hundreds of items off ebay etc over the years and have never had a problem with any other courier firms . Just look at the shocking reviews on here only 3% of the 682 people who left reviews recommend Parcelforce , i wonder why ?? I am surprised they are still in business .”
“This company are a joke been told they tried to deliver twice no card left after phoning for redelivery stayed in all day still no delivery as for phoneing you get cut off after waiting on standby if any company use parcelforce will have any orders from me”
“As per my tracking delivery referrence, the driver (delivery agent) tried to deliver but was unable due to my abscence so the driver left a card... No, it has not happened. There was no card left, there was no delivery attempt at all as there is always someone in the house, always. So what they do - they just pretend they were attempting without doing anything. The worst delivery agent ever. Never use them if you can choose”
“I shipped 8 items with ParcelForce from the UK to Brazil on 08/01/2018. The company said the items would arrive in one week. After THREE months, half of the items have not yet arrived. Even worst, one of them has been declared as DAMAGED by Brazil's customs and was returned to the UK. We called ParcelForce and they said there's nothing they can do about it. They won't even help us find where the item is. I tried to resort to their claim procedure and they simply closed the claim without consideration. They keep saying "sorry for the inconvenience" but do NOTHING to solve the issue. This is NOT a reliable company, so stay away from it!”
“truly the worst customer service in the history of customer service. they will bounce you off from one pole to another and keep you on hold forever. just got off a 25 minute call with them, spoke to 3 different people in the call center and the depot and finally gave up without a resolution whereas all i wanted was to arrange a simple collection of 2 parcels (i am a biz customer and have an account). and this happens almost always.”
“Absolutely Appalling!! There are no other words to describe this organisation. When ordering anything for delivery, we give specific, full and complete address details and telephone numbers for contact yet 9 times out of 10, Parcelforce fail to deliver with a variety of excuses - the most common one being that the couldn't find us. It really isn't difficult! Every other courier/delivery company delivers to us without problem - DHL, Yodel, etc, etc. We have stayed at home on so many occasions only to have no delivery. This Friday was just the same. After many telephone calls to their local depot and confirming specific address details, WE paid the extra £12 to have the item delivered on Saturday ... but guess what? They failed again. Another day wasted. Now, they will try again on Monday. Dare we hope that there might be a different driver who has some level of intelligence to find us??? We are now at the point of NEVER AGAIN doing business with a company that uses Parcelforce for their deliveries.”
“Two boxes sent to my overseas address, zero were delivered. No way to claim compensation after 30 days and packages have since been disposed of. Communication is very matter-of-factly. Is this operation legal? Is this the right thing to do?”
“phone up as my ordered being delivered to have the man (karl from Leicester branch) be very rude and swore down the phone at me will never use personally.”
“I was sold a 1-day delivery for extremely important parcel, which was supposed to be delivered to Finland the day after they were collected from UK. I was charged 51£ for the "next day delivery", and when the next day came, they told me it takes 3 days in the destination country to deliver. Do not use this company. I made my purchase in a phone on purpose to be able to confirm twice, that the delivery is for the next day. Third time I confirmed the delivery to be the next day was when they collected the parcel. Complete rubbish.
They also took the receiver's name and address on the phone, and we went through it together to confirm everything is in order - yet, when they parcel was picked up, the address was there twice, misspelled, and the receiver's name was missing.
The customer service suggested I might be able to claim back some postage expenses, if a wrong product had been sold to me. The 1-day delivery service is advertised on their own webpage, to be specific, in the middle of it.
Stay away from this company, you will be charged an unreasonable amount of money for bad service, and getting stressed about what is the next thing to go wrong. The 1-day delivery is for people, who are willing to pay an outrageous sum of money because it's important, that the package arrives as promised - the company could not care less.”
“Shocking service. Will not use again. Parcel stuck at customs because part of the address is wrong again so custom won't release the parcel. Called them 4 times, called customs, called USPS in the US who gave them the correct address and still nothing moving. This is the 3rd time this has happened and the address on the parcel is correct when received. The parcel is held at Parcel Force Coventry in their custom dept. Total time and money wasters. I am now re- ordering and shipping a new order with Fedex. . Never a problem with Fedex.”
“Item posted delivered to buyer smashed up to pieces and will not pay compensation due to item being made out of 'fragile material'. Now having to refund buyer, as well having paid a fortune to post the item.
Wouldn't use them in future.”
