“fast service excellent value”

Written on: 05/05/2013 by yarkskiboop (1 review written)

I have used this service many times now to send large parcels to my daughter in France. It is very easy to book online and the email with the printable labels comes back promptly. I take the parcels to Swansea because it is convenient for me, I haven't used the free collection service. Parcels arrive in France within a very few days and the boxes (so far) have never been damaged. I don't understand how they can do it at the price, other services are way way more expensive for the size of... (read more)

Sent 8Kg parcel to Canada. Everything worked as promised. Collection on appointed day. Website explanations on attaching labels / customs forms is good and with a phone contact if you have queries. Good email feedback on progress of shipment including delivery confirmation. I will use this company again. Thank you. (read more)

“another excellent service”

Written on: 16/04/2013

Sent 2 parcels in last week to Spain. Both were collected on time by cheerful courier and delivered to family in Spain within 3 days for a very reasonable cost for the weights despatched. No damage to any items or packaging. Have used this service many times now since family moved and have nothing but praise for the efficiency of all concerned. Many thanks and will always recommend and use in future. (read more)

This was the second time i have used Parcel2ship, the first time was done using the help of a friend who had used the service, and i was fairly impressed at how it all went.....However this time i was Flying solo,and i must admit i was a bit worried as i really only had one chance to get it right, but having called parcel to ship for some advice on the paperwork side of it, i was made to feel at ease and Phil (whom i spoke to) was a great help as for the parcel itself, it was going from the...

I do not know how many times I have used Parcel2Ship but it has been at least 10 times already and it might become more (depending how often I will move back and forth)! Your service is marvellous! The folks who pick up the boxes/suitcases are nice lads and any parcel is picked up/delievered as agreed upon. You are awesome and I will always use you for parcels going abroad :) Thank you again!

“(Nearly) Perfect move from UK to Germany”

Written on: 21/03/2013 by Richie082

Just moved from the UK to Germany and sent all my 'stuff' (books, clothes, small electronics) with parcel2ship and Parcelforce. Had it picked up from my door on Friday, had it delivered to the desired doorstep yesterday - cannot complain about delivery speed. The boxes still look very much intact and I haven't discovered anything being destroyed or broken. The only downside is that if you decide on a pick-up time, they will not or possibly cannot give a more precise time than from 09:30 to... (read more)

“OK but won't narrow down times!”

Written on: 12/03/2013

Collection and delivery executed fine, but the time 'windows' for both are too wide - anytime between 7.30am and 5.30pm which makes it very difficult for both sender and recipient. Other firms will narrow this down (DPD will issue a one-hour time-slot) which can make the (usually) higher cost very worthwhile. Booking over internet was pretty hassle-free. (read more)

“delivery from England to Austria”

Written on: 20/02/2013

I delivered my suitcase from Lancaster (UK) to Austria. The collection of the luggage was good and also the delivery time was okey (10 days), although the mentioned delivery time by parcel to ship was 3 to 4 days. The annoying thing is that my suitcase arrived in bad condition. One suitcase foot was broken and the suitcase had a hole. I haven't tried to get compensation from parcel to delivery as it would have taken me too long, but my household insurance covered it anyway. Shipping by... (read more)

Parcel was deliever in 4 working days bristol to helsinki!!! UK TO FINLAND! Amazing tracking all the way knew where my parcel was all the time. Only problem was when I tried to change collection address - a bit of stressful confusion about which address to collect from. Otherwise I would have given them a 5 out of 5.

We live in France and have used your services a few times and it is only in the last 6 month we have started to have problems. To be fair, the fault seems to be with the French part of the service. The last few times the delivery took longer then the estimated time and last time we have used your services, our parcle has been opened and then repacked with some of the products missing. There was no explanation, nor apologies. We were not been able to track our parcel, as not recieved the... (read more)

“Good service”

Written on: 22/01/2013

Parcel was collected as organised and delivered next day.Couldn't track it as the code I was given wasn't recognised. It would have been helpful to have a narrower band of collection time-07.30 to 17.30 is a long time to wait in on precious days off.Morning or afternoon would be helpful. Thank you for the efficient delivery. Rita Cooper. (read more)

When I e-mailed the next day, they advised they had tried to pick the parcel up outside the specified hours. Re-arranged for the next day - same pick up times. Never again.

I booked 24hour delivery with City Link to Ipswich on the 19/12/2012 and parcel did not arrive until 24/12/2012. Too late for the contents to be distibuted by the recipient. My other parcel delivered to Norwich arrived in 48 hr which was acceptable allowing for the pressure at this time of year. (read more)

Great service it was my third time using the service. Always friendly drivers to collect and good timings of reaching destination. The only thing if possible to improve is the waiting time for the collection.Time slots morning or afternoon would be better but thats the only critisism.For the value for money you cant be beaten. Excellent and will use again and again. Thanks. (read more)

Cheaper than booking direct with carriers but if there is a problem the costs escalate and charges become much higher!I recently sent an item sold on ebay via this service, unfortunately the buyer supplied a previous address, It cost £18 to change the delivery address nearly twice as much as the original posting cost. Return and reposting was not an option! Beware if parcels are returned they go to Parcel2ship and they then charge £18 to send it back to the sender. I WILL NOT BE USING... (read more)
