Like all of our courier partners, we work with ParcelForce because they offer speed, convenience and a top quality delivery service. Because we know they’re the best, we can offer £50 of free damage and loss cover on every shipment.
For most ParcelForce services, you can choose from having your parcel collected from your front door or to drop it off at your local Post Office. When you book for collection, ParcelHero will send you all the paperwork you need. The only exception to this is when you book next day collection, in which case the courier will bring your labels with them, so there’s no need to print them.
Save time and money with ParcelForce, by dropping off your parcel at one of over 10,000 Post Office locations across the UK. International destinations are not left out either – there are designated drop off locations, where you can drop off or collect your parcels, and save while you do so.
