I’ve used Parceldirect.ie a few times and found it easy to use and good value for money. The ability to compare courier prices is really helpful, and most deliveries arrived on time without issues. Customer support could be a bit quicker, but overall a reliable service

Customs issue resolved
Was sending a parcel to the U.K for my son’s birthday and it got stuck in customs. Michael and Rory, the two I dealt with in support, were quick to sort it out. Attentive and helpful service.

Worst courier service ever
Worst courier service ever. Didn’t even pick up parcel for 5 days and telling me every day that it’s due to be picked up today. No time slots allocated for pickup. Sender can’t keep waiting whole day for the driver to come and pickup and which they don’t even come or call.

Hi,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the repeated delays and lack of communication regarding your parcel collection.
We completely understand how frustrating it is to be asked to wait in without a confirmed time slot, especially when collections are then missed without any update.
Please rest assured that your feedback has been taken on board and will be raised with our courier partners to help prevent this from happening again.
If there is anything further we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Terrible service
Terrible service, booked in early February to get courier to pick up birthday items from Dublin to Cork. Time was to be collected 10-5.30pm. Waiting in all day, no show. Contact Parcel Direct and they apologised and said courier will be there next day, again waited in 10-5.30pm. Again no show. Asked for refund on 4 different occasions and I am still waiting, 1 month later. Absolute terrible service, stay away.

Payment done, no order booked, no refund
Mever buy from this website. It's purely scam. Payment is done but no order confirmation is received, parcel is never collected. I asked fkr a refund, they said yes but never received it. Stupidly, I forgot the fraudsters website and I payed and booked for a 2nd time a parcel. Same thing happened. I requested the bank for a refund in the end.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! After a small claims court decree, the owner Stephen, who also owns O suillebhans and Liberty bars will steal your money and not deliver. Book directly with the couriers, these are thieves.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
I ordered an insured package delivery worth 58,91 euro. I tried dropping it off at two different locations today, but the drop off code simply did not work. I wasted more than two hours of my day and now I need to find another shipping company. AVOID this company at all cost, customer service is also not responsive to my request regarding a refund.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered when attempting to drop off your shipment and understand how frustrating it must have been to visit multiple locations without being able to complete the process. We recognize that your time is valuable, and we regret the inconvenience this situation has caused.
In some cases, drop-off issues can be related to temporary technical factors at specific locations or system timing. Nevertheless, we want every shipment experience to run as smoothly as possible. Regarding your refund request, please note that response times can occasionally vary depending on inquiry volumes, but all requests are reviewed carefully.
We kindly ask that you reach out to our support team again with your shipment details so we can take a closer look at the matter and provide further clarification.
Kind regards,

Unresponsive to complaints
Sent 2 separate parcels to France, one priority the other standard, both door to door delivery. When the priority package arrived in France the delivery driver called the recipient to let them know he was going on holidays for 10days and that the package needed to be picked up (from his house) if they wanted it at all because when he returned in 10 days he would be sending it back to Ireland because the 7 day collection date would be up. The standard parcel arrived at a different depot and they called to have pick up arranged. I raised a complaint with parcel direct because the service I booked was door to door, this was 24 weeks ago and they have become unresponsive to any emails. Avoid them, 0 customer service!!

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the two shipments to France and understand how concerning this situation must have been, particularly given that door-to-door delivery was the service selected. We appreciate that this did not meet your expectations and recognize how frustrating it can be when delivery arrangements differ from what was anticipated.
Delivery operations can sometimes vary depending on local depot procedures or carrier-specific circumstances. However, we understand your concerns regarding the collection requests and the communication you described. We also regret to hear that you feel your complaint has not received the level of follow-up you expected. Response times may occasionally be extended depending on case complexity and volume, but all complaints are handled through our review process.
We encourage you to contact our support team again with your reference numbers so the matter can be revisited and clarified further.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting it must be when a shipment involving a valuable item remains unresolved for an extended period. We recognize how important insured shipments are to our customers and appreciate how frustrating this situation must feel.
In cases involving loss claims, investigations may require coordination with third-party carriers and can take time to complete, particularly when additional documentation or verification is needed. While we cannot comment on the specifics of your case here, please be assured that claims are reviewed in line with the applicable terms and procedures.
We encourage you to contact our support team again with your claim reference details so the matter can be revisited and clarified further.

dreadful company
dreadful company. i paid €137 to send an item to austraila from ireland. i used parceldirect and it was to be sent via Fedex. i was told to deliver the item to a collection point which was in a shop near me. when i got there they told me they didn't accept fedex. it was late and the item had to go the next day so i used another courier. i sent an email explaining this and they apologized and told me i'd have a refund in 5-10 days. 5 weeks later no refund, they won't respond to emails. absolutely dreadful company. i managed to get the refund in the end after threatening legal action and opening a case with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

Please for the love of God do not use them for anything. I made the sole mistake of using them for their services on the 2nd of November, 2025, and was double charged. Up till this date I have not been refunded. I have sent emails upon emails and they have overlooked all of them. They are thieves and not a honest bunch. Please I repeat, do not use them.
