![]() At the end of 2012 it was announced that, following a £75 million investment from the Royal Mail Group, Parcelforce would be opening three new processing centres across the country, further strengthening the brand and enhancing the services on offer. Parcelforce Worldwide has experienced continued growth since, with two huge hubs in the UK which process around 58,000 parcels on an hourly basis, totalling 40 million in an average year, as well as 53 local depots. In 2002, it became its own company and began to focus on express and timed delivery services, leaving the universal parcel service in the hands of the Royal Mail in order to do so. It experienced quick and considerable growth, before long becoming one of the world’s most respected and reputable names within the postal service industry. The company is part of the Royal Mail Group, and was founded in 1990 when the Royal Mail was divided into three different sections, with Royal Mail Parcels being re-branded as Parcelforce. ![]() Parcelforce Worldwide is not liable for any consignment that is delivered to the delivery address or other address, nor in cases where a person misrepresents themselves as the recipient, or when they have fully adhered to the instructions given on the instructions form filled out by the sender or recipient. A redelivery service is available for missed deliveries, where the recipient can arrange for safe delivery of their package to be attempted a further three times before being sent back to the depot, where they can collect it in person with appropriate identification. Parcels are delivered until 5.30pm Monday to Friday, with Saturday deliveries only taking place when the customer has paid additional costs for it. A full list with further details on parcel tracking by country is available on their website. Countries exempt from tracking include Bangladesh, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon and the Falkland Island. Some packages sent to countries that do not have sufficient tracing infrastructure are not able to be tracked by non-account members online, with very limited information provided to account members using gloalexpress. Every package sent within the UK through Parcelforce can be tracked, as can most international shipments with the exception of those sent using the globalvalue or globaleconomy services. There is no way of tracking a parcel without the number, so keeping it safe is essential. Anyone can access the tracking information if provided with the long number, so selling websites such as eBay will accept it as proof of posting and delivery. This ensures that the sender is fully protected and that any false claims regarding non-receipt cannot be made. ![]() Once delivery has been successful, the tracking details will indicate the time and location of delivery, along with showing a viewable electronic signature taken on delivery.
