A good value parcel

Very good found a very good price to return an item to India and was kept informed along the way and when it was delivered from the parcel company.

Wayne Johns

Couldn't have gone smoother.

Service was impeccable. Driver turned up to collect at correct time, despite potentially being a difficult place to find within the hospital. Driver was very smart and polite. Tracking was updated regularly and delivery on date as expected.

How it works

Compare Parcelforce services

Parcelforce is one of our most popular UK services, with both next day and 2-day delivery options for parcels up to 30kg in weight, and convenient drop off at Post Offices nationwide.

Collection and delivery

Parcelforce offers a same day booking and a convenient pre-printed label service for shippers who don’t have a printer. They only make one collection attempt, if collection fails, you will need to rebook, which is chargeable. They do however make 3 delivery attempts if no one’s home, but like all couriers, they will deliver to a safe place such as a porch or neighbour where possible.
