Angry another parcel force warning

Just another warning not to use these tossers ...


Just had a bill in for £150! which I normally pay between £30 -£50 for fedex or ups for the same stuff !! but I though as I'm in no hurry for the parts I told my supplier to use usps as they was cheaper but took longer ..... little did I know they give them to parcel farce to deliver .... or hold should I say until the bill is paid


plus a handling fee of course ....... IT'S YOUR JOB TO HANDLE THEM!!!!!


errrrr it makes me






Peace

The handling fee drives me round the bend.

I had an item delivered about 2 years ago and the guy knocked on the door and wanted customs charges and a £15 handling fee. I told him to sling his hook and send it back as I wasn't paying it.

When I opened the door some hours later the parcel was still on the doorstep LOL!

Never heard another thing about it.

Each to there own , But I have never had a problem with fedex and ups and always had problems with parcelforce .... late deliveries , bull**** excuses, high fee's ... holding parcels until they are paid for , just don't see how it is far for them to make money out of import fee's .

At least ups and fedex let you have your parcel first and give you 30 days to pay

ups must have changed a bit - when i worked for them a few years ago their handling charge was £12 and we wouldn't hand over the parcel until all fees had been paid
