Your Parcelforce employment did not recognise my address even though I give my postcode I cannot believe I had three attempts for these people to recognise me I even threaten to legal action because I used to work for the Citizens Advice Bureau I know my rights if anybody who fires from eBay goes to Paris office I would really not recommended at all they are liars they are understanding and they are incapable of tracking your order your order is like the Dark Ages white eyes ages I had to threaten to take this to my solicitor to get my delivery on time on their tracking system they had two people on my tracking system twice that didn't recommend me at all anyone from eBay I was seriously doubt to recommend Parcelforce for delivery I am quite disgusted which the way I was dealt with I had to threaten them with solicitors I told them I was recording the messages that was on the phone because I had enough they're tracking the system is totally in Ice Age believe me I will not recommend this company to deliver my package any longer soon as I mentioned solicitors they delivered on time isn't that a coincidence anyone who sells on eBay please please do not give Parcelforce any opportunity to deliver because they do not deliver I had to threaten legal actions and that's what I would have done if I hadn't got it

If I could give them less than 1 star I would. I wasn't in when my parcel was delivered and they sent it to a post office 50mins away from my house. I arranged for it to be redelivered to my work instead, but 3 weeks later it still had not been redelivered! I called and emailed several times and was always told it would be re-delivered in a couple of days. Eventually I called for a 4th time and was told that my parcel had been returned to sender. The worst service of any parcel delivery company, which is saying a lot!

DREADFUL service- I would give zero stars if possible… I couriered a large package which was well packaged but broken in transit (and delivered late). I had to refund the buyer but Parcelforce have refused to compensate me or even refund the courier costs (£35.99), blaming my packaging 🤬 DO NOT USE!! Any other courier company in the world would give you better service…

Where do I start.. tracked my delivery and from the start it went to and from the Same place 3 times when I called to get some sort of update the person on the phone was rude,unhelpful and you should be ashamed that a company so well known would employ someone who has no customer service skills and could be that rude!! Not happy with my experience i posted on your Facebook page to get told i wasn’t a customer of yours and should take it up with parcel2go but at that point in time you were in possession of my package and we’re unable to delivery it obviously due to some incompetent pleb that you insist on employing! The stress and time this has caused Is beyond belief I hope I never have to deal with you again And I will warn everyone I know not to bother using you as there is clearly an issue with your process (suggest this is reviewed) wish there was a 0 star

Missed my delivery date twice despite checking and their team saying the product would definitely be with me! When it did arrive, the TV I ordered had a large crack in it, no doubt not helped due to the fact it was being thrown on and off a van without reaching me. Also ignored by the team when I complained for 4 days before a message blaming the packaging for damage (the vendor is a large UK company and had have packaged as appropriate!)

Don't waste your time or your money - this service is beyond terrible. Day 5 of chasing my '24 hour' delivery which is inexplicably being held at the depot. Customer service are utterly unhelpful.

Rip off parcel handling fees + terrible customer service. I think they'd struggle to deliver to their own head office and then they'd charge a handling fee to themselves for that as well.

I work for them as a contractor any deliveries I’ve made or received have always been dealt with very professionally I work with an excellent team in Cambridge who follow a new system now where you can track your deliveries from purchase to delivery point We aim to provide an excellent service 😄

I took a day off today to wait for the parcel that allegedly meant to arrive today...I checked their website and at 08:00 the parcel was out for delivery. At 09:00 the map showed that the driver is few streets away from me and that they will deliver between 10:00-12:00. Since then map stopped to work, there are no updates on the website and they are unable to tell me where on earth the driver is...POOR SERVICE AVOID!!!

A gift was sent to me from Aus. Yay! Didn't turn up. Discovered (via sender) it was sitting in UK sorting office saying customs payment due. When I contacting them to ask about it they had already returned my gift to Aus. Boo! Customers services ignore the fact that my sender will be out of pocket to send it again (assuming it does arrive back in Aus), and don't acknowledge any fault of their own. Pants Force.

This company should be re-named Parcel Farce.Not only are they totally incompetent they tell lies.I was expecting a delivery today and was told by the sender that, as I was out, a card had been posted through the letter box by the driver.A LIE.I was in all morning and no card was delivered.After talking to a machINE for an eternity I got through to a human being.I explained the situation.This was at 12 o'clock.The assistant,PAM, said she would contact the driver and get back to me.SHE FAILED TO DO SO. This is third time this has happened in a year.I have told all people who are likely to send parcels to me,IN THE FUTURE, ,to avoid this USELESS,INEFFICIENT LIKE THE PLAGUE. The depot is at LEEDS,YORKSHIRE. PETER GOULD, HALIFAX.

AVOID THIS COMPANY Waste of time and money I paid for global express delivery, I checked the senders details and the post office confirmed that given information was accurate and right . My parcel has been never delivered. Furthermore, their partners in Greece have never respond to my calls. I missed important personal data, ID copy, passport copy, certification etc. I missed deadline for an application. Very frustrating experience. I had to call and send emails either parcelforce or their partners and they never responded to me. I tried to called them several times for almost a week but nobody answer. They refused to make refund. No ethics or customer care culture. Totally untrustworthy company.

A supplier of ours sent a parcel on a 48 hr service. 72 hrs later they are saying that it will be with me tomorrow. But there is no guaranteeing it, and no one can tell me where it is, or where it has come from. I have been put through so many people who cannot give me any answers. They are a rubbish delivery company. Don't touch them with a barge pole. They really do not know anything about customer service or how to

Delivered it to a neighbour but didn't tell me which neighbour. Called up twice to find out where my package was and they said they weren't at liberty to tell me where my parcel was (even though it is my property). Absolute idiots.

I've just found the note from Parcel Force on my roof !! They can't (ever) be bothered to go round the side of the house to put their notes through my letter box. Plus - they never bother to ring the bell. Every time I've had a delivery from Parcel Force, something goes wrong. This last one is the worst... I was expecting a Parcel from France on / around 11 October. No sign of it. No non-delivery note. Frantic exchanges of email with the sender in France. No note = no tracking number. Finally a local post office helped with finding the Parcel at another post office miles away. A big thank you to them. They'd had the Parcel since 12 October. As I say. Just found the non-delivery note today (29/10/18) ON THE ROOF! PARCEL FORCE - You are a terrible company.

Each time I have a delivery driver won't leave package even when note left with me accepting responsability now stopping buying from companies more than once if they use parcel force worst of all delivery companies that deliver regularly 🙁

I paid for next morning delivery “next day before noon” at £9.95, expensive for small parcel, but as I’m going away tomorrow and I need it to take it with me, I thought it’s worth it. Tracked it, still at the hub, will be delivered some time tomorrow!!! Too late, I will be gone! They offer the service but can not fulfill the terms.
