Terrible service in Hungary, they didn't pick up the parcel on the indicated day, driver is unobtainable. At the end had to choose a different delivery method and file a complaint.

I sold a guitar through Reverb.com They proposed me to ship with packlink and i went for it, as i had no experience in international shipping, and the guitar was to go to Canada. Once i payed (91,47 euros) I got contacted from another society (Skynet), noticing me the pickup order, then from a courier (Tnt), telling me they would pickup 2 days later. Kinda confusing. A mistake in the address resulted in some hassle and fuss having to signal through mail, then company's website, where i did not get any answer( pickup wasn't required from me directly) It toke one week for my guitar to get to the custom . Then i started receiving mail from either Skynet then Packlink both requiring the same things, but their email were basically a forward of the email of the actual carrier. Confusing again. Enquired Packlink twice asking whom i have to deal with. NO ANSWER Asked to speak with someone to understand how to fill in the module. ASSISTANCE REFUSED Then i'm been dealing always with "Veronica Packlink Customer Care manager". They started asking me to fill in documentation for the custom, but then it soon started to sound weird as beside the first errors, there was always something wrong, but they were never explaining why. For example they were complaining of me not including my tax code in the documentation, but that was already been mailed 3 TIMES at that point. Considering the amount of job that was requiring from me i started questioning; WHAT ARE YOUR DUTIES? WHAT DID I PAY FOR? NO ANSWERS At a certain point it was clear THEY WERE JUST TAKING TIME as custom or the carrier, simply lost my package. I started to ask more and more about infos, and (when answering) they'd be saying they won't answer until further update from the carrier My customer got tired and finally withdrew his offer so i had to refund him. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT TO PACKLINK, ASKING MY GUITAR BACK Veronica didn't even reply for 4 days, when she forwarded me an email from the carrier which was saying; "The package will be delivered (to Canada), within evening. We're sorry for the delay" One hour after i replied asking once again to ALT the delivery because the deal was blown because of their delay. No answer until the day after, saying they couldn't stop the process now. All the customer care was able to, was accusing me of not filling in documents correctly, and refusing any responsibility (therefore any refund) At that point they disappeared until i started asking back. Very stingy with informations. It was basically; you'll get it when it gets back to Italy. Long story short; I had it back on the half of April, and they toke 750euros from my paypal account to pay custom (2 ways). No questions,No responsibilities, No care for the customer, No courtesy, No care for their job, No honesty That joke, because that's not a shipping company but only a joke, costed me; A 750 euros B 91,47 euros (refunded from Reverb) B 3350 euros of income Now i'm preparing a report to forward to the police

If there was an option less than one star it would have been given. Absolutely horrendous service. They admitted the parcel had been damaged, accepted liability then tried to say the claim was outside the seven day window for claims… but it was done within that time frame, they then said the packaging was inadequate and sent me links to “guidelines” to follow, non of which state that if I don’t adhere to them I would void the additional insurance paid for the parcel. Then of course there is the attitude of the staff which needs addressing, it’s absolutely appalling customer service. Looks like a common thing now for packlink to just not pay out on damages. Small claims court for me, lawyer prepped and legal costs for them are increasing. AVOID AT ALL COST. Please if you had a bad experience report them to eBay to have them removed as a provider.

Hermes lost the item I was sending. Packlink’s insurers deliberately hold back the reference for thirty days. Use Royal Mail or ParcelForce.

This is a warning to anyone who sells through eBay that Packlink shipping is basically a scam. I sent a second-hand rug valued at £110 with them with full insurance - they lost the package, spent 24 hours on their 'investigations' before announcing that they couldn't find it and that they had 'dismissed' my claim on the basis that it was on their 'prohibited items' list. Having accepted the package in full knowledge of its contents (because it's a service where you pay for shipping directly through eBay) and happily taken the circa £11 cost of shipping with extra insurance (which they are not refunding), they are now claiming it's something that shouldn't have been sent through them in the first place?! And that somehow the nature of the contents is relevant to the fact that they LOST a carefully packaged and labelled parcel and absolves them of liability?! I asked for further explanation but they simply ignored me. To be clear there is NO compensation available for Packlink's own incompetence and negligence and since you're still liable to refund the buyer if they lose your package, you could be left out of pocket to the tune of hundreds of pounds through no fault of your own. I have learned my lesson and will only be using Royal Mail or buying postage direct with a decent courier like DPD in future. What I find shocking is that eBay has linked up with these people, when they have quietly created a system in which they will not honour insurance for probably 80-90% of the items that get sold through eBay. God knows how many of these 'lost' parcels are ending up in their employees' houses - after all there's no financial loss to the company so why should they care?

I sent a turntable using Packlink for an eBay sale. The courier was Hermes. I paid extra for insurance. The item was badly damaged by Hermes. I reported it to Hermes and made a claim with all the details and photos. I waited a month. Then Hermes get in touch and tell me I have to claim from Packlink. Packlink first of all tell me my claim is out of date. I explain the scenario with Hermes. Packlink ask for the details - I send them everything again. Packlink email me and say your claim has been upheld and I will receive my compensation within 30 days. I dispose of the packaging and item. A month later Packlink tell me to send photos of packaging and damage. Obviously I now can’t do this. Many months of arguing and they refuse to pay out. Con merchants. Appalling service. Do not use!

I used PackLink via ebay, and I will NEVER use them again. A speaker I posted conveniently 'disappeared', even though it was recorded as having been collected first. Their compensation procedure for reclaiming costs is unnecessarily long, arduous and ridiculously slow. It's been over 12 weeks since my item went missing and despite chasing Packlink 4 times, I'm STILL waiting for payment and have just been told it could still be another 2 months before I receive anything.

Avoid this company, if you don't want to lose the parcel. They lost mine (3 parcels in the last few months) and they didn't even refund it. I sent about 20 emails and wasted time providing them all documents they asked for, also invoice from eBay, but didn't help. Instead, I was getting spam with the same email that the name and price of item is missing, but it wasn't! This service is very poor!

Three parcels...yes three parcels over a period of six weeks all sent separately and ALL lost. Terrible communication between Hermes who are ranked last and Packlink and Inpost. All tried to blame each other. Use any of the above at your peril!!

DO NOT USE (ruined Christmas) DO NOT USE! Lost 2 of my parcels and remained in the ‘in transit’ mode and made no attempts to tell me they we’re delayed or lost. Then when I tried to claim they had gone missing they replied “ We regret to inform you that we are unable to process the claim due to the following reason: It is possible to submit a claim only within and not beyond 30 (thirty) calendar days from the dispatch date.” Appalled at the service, communication and everything really. Hopefully companies like this crash bad burn and don’t get away with STEALING people’s money, Christmas presents and whatever else it is they want form us.

Booking shipping services for items sold on eBay used to be simple and cost effective even after Packlink took over the service. Bookings for Royal Mail services are still good. However, when trying to switch to non RM services such as UPS it all goes horribly wrong. Bookings get duplicated and charges are raised twice. I have tried to engage with eBay and Packlink about these issues but no-one wants to give a proper response. I think there are IT issues which need resolving. The customer experience is poor. I simply won't use them anymore.

Horrible services, don't use this web. I paid the transport for my belongings with them and they lost all the packages, after 6 month and a contacting them often waiting for late replies and not even a phone call the solution is only to refund the shipping cost. I paid an insurance of 1000 euros and they didnot refund it to me becuase the invoices i sent for the lost items were older than 60 days from the day of the shipment....absolutely horrible.

I contacted the customer service by email for 2 weeks and they were not able to solve the issue. When contacted them via chat the girl closed the chat a minute after saying she was going to look into the issue. Never gave me an explanation. I had to open the chat 3 more times to actually understand what the next steps will be. Only answer given? Someone will email you...
