yes i agree stephen , my god im sorry i did not take a few pics of it truly a total mess up by parcelforce and by the damage that was done to it it must have been thrown around and left out in the rain disgrace and it cost paul over £50 to send it daylight robbery
never ever use them

Any parcel i get delivered by them get's dropped off with my son at his work and i get it when he comes home. It saves the driver a walk down our long path plus from wherever he can park his van witch could be 200 yards up the road,. Lazy b@****d. ps my son is too polite to tell him where to go and just takes the parcel.

Parcelforce is no better or worse than any other courier. Having worked for a couple of parcel networks as a night trunk driver and seeing what a parcel has to go through I no doubt pack stuff I send differently than most people. Never had anything damaged despite at one point selling 100s of laptops a year all over the EU and as far as the Canary Islands. Even sent a Yaesu FT1000 MkV Field to Italy.
