“Extremely dad service. Parcel not collected and no phone call email or any communication made to inform me. Truly bad service from and pretty poor company who need to get their act together and provide a service as they that they advertise. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone or will never use again. Don't even deserve a rating.”

“So far my experience with Parcel Direct has been dreadful. The parcel deposit point wouldn’t take the parcel as it is no longer part of the scheme. They directed me to a Spar shop which does apparently take parcels but wouldn’t take mine. It didn’t have a barcode ! The instructions I got from PDirect were that “ Driver brings barcoded label” There was no barcode on advice sheet, just a “drop off code” I have emailed PD for advice but have not heard from them. They don’t take phone calls at a weekend. The parcel is paid for and is to be collected on Monday - but the collection points won’t take it. This is a business that purports to work seamlessly but can’t even updates its web information, nor have someone available to contact on a Saturday. No recommendations here.”

“Very poor service. “Drop off” point at Spar on 367 North Circular road doesn’t work because of failure of scanner. That’s my first and very last time I used the service of ParcelDirect.”

Hi Girts, Thanks for letting us know of the issues with your drop off. Unfortunately the scanner in the shop had gone down at the time and was replaced that morning. I see my colleague Michael has worked with you to get this resolved and you parcel is not on it's way to the destination. All the best, PD

“Created a collection order on June 16th for the 18th. Until today, June 18th I didn't receive a confirmation for my collection order. June 17th I registered my account using the app and the only email I got with this one requestiny feedback. I cannot even use my account as I didn't have the chance to activate my account. That's why. I can only rate it poor”

“My order was never collected. I had an event planned for tomorrow with the objects of this which will now have ti bw cancelled and as a result leaving me with a loss of income. I phoned the company 3 times today to be told at 5pm the courier was on the way. Now 9pm and they did not show. I had people waiting on the courier in the pick up location all day. Waste of money and time!!! Avoid this company”

“They arranged collection and delivery of a box of tile, which arrived to my home in bits, every tile in the box was smashed to pieces. When I for refund for delivery cost and cost of tiles I was told I had to wait 12 weeks while they process the claim with the courier. The courier rejected the claim saying it was tracked and signed for, my mother in law signed for it and the driver left the box in the same place I opened it, just inside the door. now I have to go to small claims court to get my money back Neil”

“I had a parcel due to be picked up and a week later I was still trying to get the parcel picked up. Only info I was getting was that the driver should be there that evening but never arrived. Ended up having to cancel the job and just send via An Post.”

“My parcel was due to be collected at my house on 28th April. Despite being assured each day it would be collected, I eventually cancelled my order on Saturday 2nd May, and made alternative arrangements, as I couldn't wait any longer. Appreciate times are difficult at the minute, but this was a step too far. Will not be using Parcel Direct again.”

“I sent a valuable guitar to Cumbria. It was take by FedEx via Spain, took a month and arrived damaged. Although it was insured, I have been waiting over 6 weeks and no-one has confirmed that the damage will be paid for. My emails are ignored. I am totally disgusted.”

“Order: PD0054678 Paid 70 EUR for documents to be send overseas I paid significantly more as those are important papers and the delivery time promised was 2 to 4 days after collection. On the 13.04 the parcel was picked up but as of today(25.04) has not been delivered. I spoke to parcel direct but all they do us quote stuff from the UPS website and say that it is because of the c o r ona situation. I spoke to Steven on the 23 who promised he will get in touch with UPS and come back to me. He didn't. I then spoke to Michael on the 24 who also promised that he will get in touch with UPS and come back to me( Spoiler: He didn't). He also rudely added that the Terms and Conditions state that they don't promise a delivery time. I am upset. I understand that the current situation is causing delays but then don't advertise delivery times you can't keep or if you know that there will be delays advice the customer accordingly. I think the communication and customer service from Parceldirect has been terrible and I won't use them again.”

“As much as I'd like to write a positive review the incompetence of your service prevents me from doing so. Our son was to be married on 10/4/20 but present circumstances scuppered the happy event. In an attempt to mark the day in a small way my wife and I decided to send a package of "goodies" to cheer up the dissapointed couple. We decide to use your service. We were guaranteed over the phone that the package would be delivered on 10/4/20. It was collected here on 9/4/20. As of today 16/4/20 the package hasn't been delivered. From tracking the package it seems it has been in several locatiions around the country except where it is supposed to be. It spent 5 days in Knock (waiting for a miracle ?). A number of phone calls to your good selves elicited many promises but no action. The package is now stored in your parcel centre and cannot be delivered due to a requirement for further address information. This is not rocket science. In large writing the package is addressed to 56 Bushy Park House and my sons name and phone number is included in the booking documentation. So much for trying to support a new company.”
