Parcelforce pull their corporate sleeves up and deliver on their

Parcelforce are the best of the lot around here. The only ones to
consistently deliver on time and to greet you by name and with a smile.

The rest are uniformly miserable, say they called but you were out
(when you were not) and often deliver 24 hours late.


I've always found PF fine. In fact most of them are fine, certainly the
ones we get lots of via, esp. City Link. My least favoured are
Interlink/DPD

Couriers just seem to eb one of those things which who ever you pick
there are always some disgruntled customers. Even HDN seem to have got
their act together lately. Possibly because we seem to get a proper van
nowadays rather than someone running around with parcels in the back of
their car (and leaving said car parked with the engine running whilst
they toddle off to deliver a parcel.....)

But then PF is good for me as we live opposite the village post office,
which is also the local delivery office. PF leave their parcels there
rather than back at their depot, so handy for me :-)
