I hate Parcel Force!

Posted on November 8th, 2005 at 10:59 am

Their website is still saying their expected delivery date of my parcel is yesterday, the 7th of November.

There is also no way to talk to a representative on the phone, it’s 100% automated.

Half an hour after sending them an eMail they reply by telling me about what part of their website I need to use to answer my query. Sorry, I didn’t see the “Can you please tell me where my f***ing parcel is!!” button.

Whenever I get a parcel delivered by CityLink I’m always amazed at their efficiency. So looks like I have to wait inside all day today too.

    I am still trying to locate my Parcels. God help me to find my Parcel who were paid by my HARD EARNED Money and Saving. I can’t afford to lose them. People at PF should take this into account.

    You all are amazingly great bunch of people here and helping each other.

    Keep the Great passion of Help each other going.

    Love you All

    Ordered ‘next day’ delivery with ebuyer.com

    27-06-2012 00:23 Milton Keynes Depot Loaded to vehicle for delivery
    27-06-2012 00:22 Milton Keynes Depot Received at delivery depot
    26-06-2012 21:03 National Hub Received and processed
    26-06-2012 16:08 Birmingham South Depot Forwarded to delivery depot
    26-06-2012 06:24 Birmingham South Depot Forwarded to correct depot
    26-06-2012 06:24 Birmingham South Depot Received at incorrect depot
    26-06-2012 01:56 Birmingham South Depot Received at delivery depot

    Took them 10 hours to realise the Birmingham mistake. Parcelforce are owned by Royalmail and therefore the government so no wonder they suck so bad.

    I’d avoid ebuyer.com, they are great to orderfrom but using parcelforce is just a cost cutting measure that totally ruined my experience with them. I hope they loose sales in future of this, and the other posts i’m gonna put on the internet so they change their courier provider.

    I won’t bore you folks with the sorry tale of my 7day “next day” delivery, however on 14th June Parcelfarce agreed to pay for delivery cost plus £10 compensation in 5 -7 working days guess what…
    CORRECT!
    No cheque has been raised; have to wait another 5-7 days
    Let’s face it Parcel force can’t even deliver their own mail on time so what chance does Jo(e) public have?
    Avoid like the plague!

    I packed a box myself whilst in China three weeks ago. Box contained 24 sample canvass dog bags, 3 pairs of my own shoes, five bags ( not counterfeit) as gifts. I paid £180 to send box it was 22 kilo’s. Customs charged another £102 although box stated samples. When the box arrived at my house after 10 days they had opened the box at customs and left a stanley knife inside the box plus 3 of the bags were damaged.
    Pareclforce don’t want to accept any responsibilty and the e mails I have received address me with my christian name!. Dreadful service but what other choice when you are sending goods?.
