Truly awful service.
December 23, 2024

My overnight parcel delivery still hasnt been delivered 12 days later.
They make it very obvious they dont give a toss about it, wont return phone calls, and when i do get through they are now hanging up on me after saying "itll get there when it gets there- its not our responsibility".
Disfunctional company, awful customer service.
The lack of concern about professionalism or even the law is staggering

Because of their website that shows a city for another i am having troubles in getting my parcel. I do not understand why they do not fix the problem, the postcode doesn't match the city.

Scam company
May 15, 2023

Aviod this company at any cost! My goods got damaged on the way by courier. They confirmed I'm eligible for a compensation but then stopped replying to my emails after I provided my bank details to get the payment. I paid for the enhanced insurance to cover my goods but they did not report the value to UPS (this is confirmed by UPS) so my parcel was not conevered for full value. THEY ARE A SCAM. I'm going legal.

If the service works fine it's just because the couriers are doing their jobs, but if there's an issue with a delivery where Parceldirect support should help, they vanish.

Absolutely no support at all, awful experience. Never again.

Sham Company
December 16, 2022

Sham Company...
Is my experience the norm? Booked a 1-2 day, very expensive, Irl to Uk service with UPS. Package lost immediately after pickup & PD say they have to wait at least 24 hours before UPS will revert with an update. PD couldnt care less.take no ethical responsibility for your items & will not find out where they are. Legal Docs, Totle Deeds for a property.missing.irreplaceable. Is it a 1 man operation from a shed?

Absolute disaster. I was charged extra 106 euro weeks post delivery, stating my parcel was 10 times bigger when I payed for. Parcel direct using FedEx next day collection and instead of item being about an envelope size that weigh no more 1kg I was additionally charged for 74cm length item just under 17kg. What an idiot FedEx worker who can't measure basic item. Scammers that's the only thing I can say. If you try to resolve this issue parcel direct account team says we only dealing through emails, please send an email. They asked me for the picture of the item that was posted abroad. Are you crazy. Next time I make sure to take a selfie with it too.
I have one hope. Item was delivered to the hotel in Italy and signed by one of the staff members. Staff member would be able to confirm the size of the item.
Crazy I have to go through this do not get overcharged due to their own mistake

Booked my parcel in early for next day pick up as it was time sensitive but the next day there was no pick up. After I called I was told it would be picked up the next day. Finally after this again and again it was picked up 3 days later on a Friday. Told it would definitely be delivered Monday but I'm sure you guessed it, it was finally delivered on the Tuesday. Customer service was terrible along with the service. Just go somewhere else.

I have paid for a parcel to be collected last friday (to go to Italy on time for Christmas), today is thursday and still no collection made after my 4th call. They say: I can't guarantee 100% that it will be collected today but the driver has your docket and I will put another request to the depot. 4 times after still nothing. Post office and refund it is.

Absolutely appalling!

Placed and paid for order on Sunday afternoon, received email confirmation and invoice with collection of parcel for 9am-5pm next day.

Next day came and went, I chased them.

Next day came and went, I chased them.

Next day came and went, I chased them... and on and on and on until finally 6 DAYS later on Saturday afternoon it was collected.

So much time time wasted chasing up what should have been a simple and transparent transaction. My mother spent days waiting for a courier to come and each day if she had to leave the house left these gifts sitting in the doorway 'in case' a driver might show up. A birthday gift arriving almost a week late instead of a nice surprise on time,

Excuse? Oh we are really busy, oh there are unprecedented times... guys we are 11 full months into this crap, if you don't have your $#*! together you will keep loosing business to those who do!

At no point did the driver or parcel direct contact myself or my mother who's number was given, yes I did receive prompt and polite replies from the customer service (which I am grateful for) but all in all I would NEVER recommend this company and will bring business elsewhere.

My parcel was delayed in pick up, but after a quick call to Michael in customer service, he got the courier back to collect the parcel quick as possible. They prioritised the parcel and made sure it arrived on time. Thanks, great job

No refund for lost item
January 17, 2019

Lost bronze statue going to USA (it happens!) and admitted it was due to their driver not scanning the parcel at pickup. Have had to engage a solicitor to try recover my 51 plus 20 insurance. Told my money was being returned to my card before Christmas and this after constantly been totally ignored with no engagement. Make up your own mind!
