I've used this company on and off for over 10 years. They are fast, reliable, cheaper than Royal Mail and easy to reach by phone. Never had a priblem with them.

This company is no longer operational
This company is no longer operational. The website says that they can't take your order online, but to phone them to place it. The phone isn't answered and it goes to answering machine. The telephone number is a local call but one which can make the company money. Suggest that you don't bother to call them and they don't answer emails either.
They should have had the decency to tell all their regular clients that they were closing down, but obviously not!

This company seems to be going bust or very short staffed
Seems to run on an un professional 'part time' basis
When there is a problem, no reply to emails or repeated telephone
messages
When finally someone does answer the phone its a very rude woman
with extremely dismissive attitude

Five star and superb service!
Five star and superb service!
Recommended to me by a friend , I gave Pharosparcels a go.. I was absolutely delighted - my expectations were over delivered ( excuse the pun).
I need to send at least two boxes abroad a month and the entire process from biking online to collection and then delivery is seamless!
Great customer service for any enquiries and I cannot recommend them more highly!

Reliable Service
I have used them at short notice to deliver an urgent business parcel. They were prompt and did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it.

Hi Ines,
I'm sorry you felt compelled to leave a negative review of our service, we communicated with you over the phone, email and through Facebook Messenger as we did our best to assist you with your damaged parcel. To leave a one star review and to say you didn't get a response is not true and unfair, we did our best to help you.
Kind Regards,
Pharos Parcel
Fast and efficient
Prices are competitive and it's great to deal with a friendly local business.

Management has always taken ownership of my shipments, no matter how large or small the consignment. Any issues relating to customs or issues outside their control, are immediately dealt with in a timely manner. Excellent customer service! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for peace of mind in their distributions

I've used Pharos Parcel for years
I've used Pharos Parcel for years. I send suitcases to my house in Spain to save money checking them on the Aeroplane, the service has always been faultless. I like knowing there's always someone to speak to.
