Parcelforce

Over the past couple of years, I have been a registered member of that elite little website (noooo, not that one!) called....e-Bay! Up until now, I have purchased a few odds and ends, and more recently, have been selling a few small items, mainly some of my son’s outgrown clothes, toys etc. Last week, however, I decided to bite the bullet and sell something big – and heavy! Basically, my son is now too old for his playpen – even if he could not manage to open the gate, he could certainly climb over the top – so I thought my best option would be to offer it for sale on e-Bay. However, unlike ... more

I have decided to write a review about Parcelforce to warn others against using them. Although I realise some of you may have positive experiences with them unfortunately mine is a very negative one.

I thought people might be interested in a new service being offered by Parcel Force in conjunction with Royal Mail and Post Office Counters Ltd.

Waited in about 5 times...wasting precious time...wasting money calling them...only to have nothing delivered and now to find out that it's been returned to sender, even though it's THEIR problem!!! I'd been waiting for an important parcel to be delivered by Parcel Force. The first attempt, obviously, I missed, as I was away from home and was not expecting the delivery that day. So I came home and found the delivery card and called the North London Depot. Through the ... more

At last - a chance to vent my feelings about Parcelforce. I think most people know that Parcelforce is basically the parcel delivery arm of the Royal Mail. The aim of the company is that someone posts a large item to you, and they deliver it. Well - not if you live where I do. The first problem I have with parcelforce is that one particular driver taps very quietly on my door, and then sticks a card through the letterbox before driving away. The only way I knew he was outside the one time, is because I happened to glace through the window and saw him walk away. I have told him to knock louder ... more
