Sending parcel to Greece Via parcel force

[pbirkett]

I am sending an item I've sold to Greece via parcel force, using the site parcel2go, and it tells me I need to print a label (fairly obvious!) and 2 manifests, but what I can't quite work out is what needs to be done with these.

It appears as though I have to sign the bit which says "shipper signature"? There's another bit that says "carrier signature" - I assume that's them. But do they need to be stuck to the parcel? Put in an envelope and then stuck to the parcel, or simply printed and signed and handed to the courier? The instructions were about as clear as mud.

Just ask the driver when he turns up.

We use UPS and Business Post so can't comment on Parcel Farce.

Asking the driver probably won't be practical as he's coming to my work, so will have to leave it with the porters and I'll probably be out of the office... I'm fine with the labels but WTF are these manifest things for? Doesn't make it clear on the site and even a quick google doesn't turn anything particularly useful up.

You sign both manifests. The driver signs both manifests. You keep one for proof of collection and the driver takes the other one with him.

That's the norm with other parcel carriers.

I live in Spain and have had more parcels lost whilst using "Parcel Force" than any other system.

The easiest and cheapest way is via the "Post Office" using it's normal service no problems so far, whereas Parcel Force for some reason or another seems to go all over Europe and then get lost.
