Where do Parcelforce Leave Parcels?

Parcelforce won’t leave your parcel in a safe place and will usually return it to your local Post Office instead. The courier will leave a card that will let you know whether:

  1. they will attempt a redelivery the next working day.
  2. they have left your parcel with a neighbour.
  3. you need to collect your parcel from your local Post Office.

All of these options will come at no extra charge. To avoid missing your parcel, use Parcelforce tracking for free so you know exactly when your delivery will arrive.
