“Useless Service Booked a 48 delivery, wasn’t delivered yesterday or today. Used their live chat both days and neither Aiden or Oliver could tell me where exactly my parcel is or when it will be delivered. Today they actually cut my chat off. Please please do not use this company under any circumstances you may as well throw your parcel in the bin”

“I am waiting for a parcel that should have been delivered today. The tracker has not been updated since 06.32 a.m today. Not being the person that placed the order on you originally, there seems to be no way of making contact and the reviews are not encouraging about the outcome. Also the tracker is extremely unhelpful, just a list of arrival and departure times, my parcel could be in Mongolia for all I know.”

“Absolute disgrace. Did not deliver goods despite having missed thee delivery dates. Had to re-book four times and still did not receive goods. Customer service nonsense - have no intention of resolving the issue. This is the worst company I have EVER dealt with! AVOID”

“I took out insurance as they advised on their website. The item was damaged in transit and they used their get out was that I had not read the small print and the item was on the couriers prohibited list. The item in question was brand new electric hob. To add insult to injury P2G offered to reimburse my postage costs. I would never use again.”

“This company is a scam. you have to chase up yourself and they hardly come and collect on the right day. If you don't chase them you will be waiting for days still with no grantee they will collect the parcel. It's been the fifth occasion and yet the still fail to collect the parcel. Awful service”

“Shocking. Do not use this dreadful company. As mentioned before, they accept that they have lost your parcel but then in order to get a refund of postal costs I have to prove collection, provide proof of non-delivery and proof of contents value - even though I am claiming for postage only. They say Don’t worry, though — we’ll still issue a refund on the cost of delivery should your claim be successful. Why should it not be successful? YOU LOST THE PACKAGE! Shameless”

“Shocking service would never use again ...their next day service is not as advertised....took 5 days. Customer service is just as poor, lack of ownership of issues and no corrective action.”

“A company that asks what your package is worth, charges you for lose then loses it and asks you to prove value of the item , prove that it has been collected, prove the item has not been delivered , even though their own tracking shows collection and non delivery, in fact try to make it as difficult as possible to claim. no customer services you can talk to , just emails if you have problems, USELESS”

“Misleading as the 24hour delivery only applies to weekdays so if booked on Friday the item will not be delivered until Monday. So if you book a Parcelforce Worldwide Express 24h service you will get a 96h service instead as they don't deliver on Saturday seems and they said you have to pay EXTRA costs for it. Saturday delivery is available from all major couriers normally!!!!!!”

“This is the worst thing ever! DO NOT TRUST! I paid for tracking, but when the parcel was lost I could not get any help from their rude customer service OR I could not get any money back EVEN THOUGH it was insured. I will never buy from there again. I lost my parcel and never got any money back from it even though I paid for insurance.”

“They lost my parcel and here we are 10 days later still repeating all the numbers and dates just for them to come back with details of the wrong parcel. You cannot contact this useless firm the telephone is ALWAYS engaged and if you select a ring back function it does ring you back but you get the ringing tone until the phone gives up and shuts off the call. The only way to get them is by live chat and that's worse than useless as they don't read what you send back leaving you to endlessly repeat everything. I don't particularly want compensation, just the parcel delivered! Clearly they hope that I will just give up from complete frustration! They did deliver the previous parcel without any problems so I guess they stand at 50 50, but IF you have any sort of problem they don't believe you and will not talk to you etc etc. I always used Royal Mail before with absolutely no problems, but they are expensive - however if you cost in the days I've spent trying to get these cowboys to do anything to help and my blood pressure, perhaps RM not so expensive!! My advice is don't use them or if you do make sure they pick up from you (costs a little more) AND GET A RECEIPT and a photo of van and driver would be good as well and keep copies of everything for at least a month. I don't usually complain but I have never come across a company so anti customers - it not the mistakes, everybody can make them, it's how (a good company) would correct the problem. Cheap company - cheap service and no principles - AVOID”

“After reading all the bad reviews about parcel2go, I was very hesitant to use this service. However, since the parcel I wanted to send to Hong Kong was not urgent I thought I would give it a try. From pick-up to delivery in Hong Kong, it took just less than 2 weeks. So overall, I am pleased with the service. Many reviews mentioned that the tracking service was not up-to-date, so when I saw the parcel had arrived at the destination country, I was a little skeptical. The status was 'Item processed' for several days and was expecting it to change to 'Ready for delivery'. That was when I had doubts about the tracker. Got a call yesterday from my family in Hong Kong saying they received the parcel. I guess the 'Item processed' status was not updated due to the Chinese New Year holiday period. Anyway, I hope this is not a one-off and that I can expect to get the same level of service should I use this courier in the future.”

“Currently in a battle with Parcel2go - they are trying to get out of paying a claim after mistreating the parcel I sent. The item sent is not on their no compensation list yet they are trying to twist their categorisation to avoid a relatively small claim. Really disappointing and at the moment I'd really recommend avoiding them like the plague. P2G if you ever want to actually provide a decent service review P2G48074501.”

“My parcel containing many sentimental items was lost. No attempt was made at all to try and find it. They refunded the cost of sending parcel but the items were irreplaceable. The parcel was never tracked and when I raised this as a concern I was just told this is how it works. By the time they accepted it was lost it was then probably too late to find it. Awful customer service-just a live chat with standard responses.don't use this company”

“Theyh dont have any contact details to get support or help... they simply do not want you contacting them in any way shape or form. You have to get their email and number from complaints forums where people let you knwo the number... but really should you have to hunt around like this. This is the first issue but the second comes when they refuse to refund you or compensate you if they lose or damage parcels. You were warned”

“1. Parcel2Go is a middleman connecting you and courier companies and making a hefty £50m+ a year for no work done.Period! 2. If you send parcels via their website and select UPS Express Saver or UPS Express, you are eligible for a refund as per the terms of UPS UK which can be found by searching "UPS Money-back guarantee", however, Parcel2Go will deny you any claims. Guess who goes back to UPS to make the claim for themselves? Parcel2Go. 3. UPS Express for inland deliveries is a guaranteed service, both time and day-definite, however, Parcel2Go will issue a UPS Standard shipping label and claim that they do not guarantee delivery or pickup, when you have paid for Express service. In effect, you are being ripped off. 4. If possible, go directly to the courier companies themselves. You will get a better deal. DHL, FedEx, TNT, Parcelforce etc. 5. For the love of mankind, avoid Parcel2Go, as they take all the benefits from the courier companies and leave you with all the liabilities!!! Update 20/12/2017: 1. It is absolutely bull to claim that courier companies require individuals to send £50,000 worth of goods in order to open an account. DHL does a good job of opening accounts for individuals, likewise UPS, myHermes, TNT and all the others. There are no limits to these accounts. You can send one package a year, or 10,000 a year. No limits. 2. 24 hour customer service? Who needs that anyway when courier companies have manned customer service desks during the day when deliveries are being made? What does your customer service do at 11pm in the night when a courier company has failed to deliver a package and the receiver is upset? Does your customer service send a team of sympathisers to the receivers address to comfort them? You add no value to the delivery chain. You are just in it to make money; another company putting profits before people! 3. You assertion that you do not guarantee deliveries (when the courier companies whose services you are piggybacking on do) is also bull. You know why you don't guarantee your deliveries? So that you can make the claim from the courier companies yourselves and keep 100% of the proceeds from the claim, in case they fail to deliver. This is how to rip off UK consumers 100%. Kudos for that!! 4. With 75% of Christmas deliveries being delivered outside of promised time-frame, I believe consumers should be given their money back for failing to uphold your end of the contract. 5. I sent a UPS parcel to a receipient in Italy on December 18th via UPS Express Saver, which is supposed to be delivered on the 19th December. Due to a mechanical failure on a UPS truck, my parcel was not delivered until 20th December. I had to refund the customer and contacted Parcel2Go for my money back, as UPS Express Saver is a money-back guarantee service. Parcel2Go denied my refund however, as a logistics industry veteran I am more than certain that Parcel2Go will contact UPS and claim the refund from UPS and not pass it to me. I have chat transcripts in my possession denying me of my right to a refund, whereas Parcel2Go will in turn make use of the UPS money back guarantee to seek money back and keep it to themselves. Parcel2Go are well aware of this hence, they have no telephone numbers on their website to call when dealing with them. It’s the worst company I’ve come across in the UK managed by amateurs!!! If you want Proof of Purchase, this is your reference number P2G46868123 and don’t tell me service description is incorrect when it is clearly stated on the UPS website that UPS Express Saver is a next day delivery service with a money-back guarantee!! A simple google search will confirm my assertion.”
