Who delivers from Parcelforce in Limerick ?

bullets

Anyone know who currently delivers for Parcelforce couriers in Limerick ?

At one stage it was Anpost sometimes, and other times GLS It think.
Not sure who delivers for them nowadays in Limerick.

Tracking a package at the moment (And in work not at home) so
not sure where their depot will be if the delivery guy throws a docket in the door.
(Since my transport is a bicycle hoping their depot is close by)

Afaik they know they call you and if you are not there all you do is call them back and if they arent too busy and still in the area, they come back

I think its GLS at the moment that do Parcelforce, try giving them a bell, they are based in Annacotty, so you better have that protein shake before you cycle out there

Cheers thanks,

Was trying to time it, and nip home, they have a tendency to call around
Lunch time where I'm living.

Annacotty's not too bad, at least its not a depot in Shannon!

GLS.

The Courier that expects you to do the Couriering on their behalf.

- Honestly they ring you on your mobile and announce they have a package for you in their Depot and politely enquire as to when you'd like to collect it


Its the equivalent of a Surgeon who sends you a text message asking if you wouldn't mind removing your own Appendix cause they are just not arsed.......

As Courier's go had lots of mixed dealings with different ones.

An Post before when I rang them said their Drivers WONT ring you
if they are on their way with a package when I inquired.
Its just plain old tough if your happen to be working Mon-Fri
and are not at home.

Found fastways to be good, they ring ya and you can deal with the drivers.

UPS customer support were a nightmare, had a package incorrectly sized by Customs and Rang them about it, they said it had nothing to do with UPS anymore yet they sent me a bill for vat and fees a few months later along with a threatening letter to pay them or else they would take legal action. Had to travel to Shannon to
sort things out, and deal with the Gardai out there.

GLS one time had a driver ring me up and ask me if I could meet him
at McDonalds or beside the Library in the Crescent Shopping center.
(I did not mind as I was heading their for Lunch!)
Another time they did not ring at all but left a docket, I rang them back
and the lad asked me to call down to his Cousins house who lived
in a neighbouring estate, he was off having a smoke and coffee!

Don't know if they've changed but along time ago i'd ordered a £300(yes £ not yoyo's) , video card off the net and it was delivered by parcel force. I arrived home and my package was left outisde the door, no notice slip, nothing, neighbours were a round so it could've been dropped into them but was'nt. To this day i don't know how it was'nt knicked. Stayed away from them ever since.

Worked for a company before who used Parcelforce to deliver and collect from peoples homes - worst company in the world for deliveries

love listening to peoples opinions on deliveries.
One amazes me is that most people think that you have one delivery to do in a day and that you should call when it suits them and not on your round. Easy to accomodate people though.

To make life easier for themselves some of these companies will not go around housing estates looking for house numbers or travel down country roads so they ask to meet at a local takeaway etc.An post cover all parts of the country.In 2011 when there is an open market we will have every van company in Ireland meeting people at the local car park to hand over mail and parcels.

Got my package anyway, nobody rang me but herself had
arrived home meanwhile when the delivery guy called.

Am happy as long as I get it!

I used to get all my stuff delivered to work which was great
but the lad I knew in stores who was ok with accepting personal deliverys left, and have been told now its frowned upon to get non work related items delivered.

Also when your me and collect Militeria and airsoft stuff like inert grenades and replica guns its not the best thing to get delivered to your place of employment!

Was expecting a parcel myself from Parcelforce past few days. Tracking site says it been delivered. Hope they didnt leave it outside the door. No phone call, no docket nothing. Good that this thread is here as wasnt sure where to collect. Muppets. You'd expect a docket to say they called.
