“Parcel2go are absolutely shocking, claiming attempted delivery when no one attempted a delivery when I waited in all day, asked via live chat if they could record this on record as there was no attempt to deliver my parcel they told me no they can’t do that and when I wanted to raise a complaint they brushed it off with that they don’t have a complaints procedure, very unprofessional and rude company do not use.”

“Absolutely appalling. Parcel should have arrived 1 or 2 days before Christmas. Still not here 1 week later. The tracking is not up to date, there is no contact with the sender or the addressee. Don't use them. Their advisors are helpful but ultimately are unable to help.”

“Worst service I have ever had! AVOID!!! They take your money and don't care whether your parcel is delivered. How they are still going as a company I will never know. My customer's parcel is over 2 wks late. Paid for a service. They couldn't tell me where the parcel was, or when to expect it. They don't have a telephone where you can talk to someone. They like twitter so they can ignore you for days on end. I would advise everyone to avoid this company.”

“Absolutely abysmal service to Canada when our family near Bristol shipped our Christmas present using Parcel2Go. First, it took over a week to actually leave England after it was picked up. Second, it never arrived on/by the promised delivery date of Dec. 22. Third, when we finally received it on Dec. 28 we had to pay an additional $12.24 CAD "ransom" to actually get it.”

“Awful service. You take money, You guarantee nothing, You do not take responsibility for any problems. You are unable to control any claims, You do not know when You will be able to resolve the claims. I was waiting 3 weeks for any response and I got nothing. That's why I'm moving my business to someone else. Good day.”

“The worst parcel delivery portal on the web. Don't bother thinking that their £20 insurance is worth anything. They ask you to provide proof of non-delivery. My parcel (trousers worth £250) was scanned into the London Yodel depot and not scanned out again. Parceltogo knew this and still demanded proof of non-delivery. They have the proof. They also demand proof of value. The parcel I sent belonged to a third party who had sent it to me by mistake. I did not have proof of value and could not obtain it. You cannot call to complain, and some of the live chat people are really unhelpful. I'll never use this company again,”

“I have sent a parcel about a month ago. Parcel2go overcharged me with almost £80 saying the dimensions and weights were wrong. The receiver has confirmed the dimensions and weights of the packages. I have sent several email to parcel2go claims with pictures, supplier dimensions and weighs, ebay indications of the package, but still they have not removed the overcharge. How can someone lift a box by himself with 34kgs? they are saying it has 24kgs more??? The package was checked with the same electronic scale I sent other packages which were correct??? Totally false overcharge. Trying to get money through the back door and not admitting that the overcharge claim is false. Not using again and I recomend to others not to use it also and this can happen to anyone using their service.”

Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your frustration with this extra charge. Unfortunately, these charges are beyond our control. Because our couriers carry hundreds of thousands of parcels a day, there’s a very slim margin for error when it comes to declared parcel sizes. Couriers issue surcharges for under-declared parcels in order to compensate for the extra time it takes to process them. To avoid these charges in future, we’d advise rounding up your parcel measurements when declaring the size and weight. This should compensate for discrepancies between your measurement and the courier’s. The issue here is that the dimensions for the parcel are incorrect and this has caused the issue with the payment. We have asked you to send over further documents to an email address for us to discuss this further. If you can do this, then we can look into the matter further.

“Paid for collection+ where they print your label. 1st drop off place didn't know about printing any label, returned home for on-line help which recommended a 2nd place, but that place couldn't scan the bar code. Back home for more on-line help which recommended printing the label myself? Offering a service for people without home printers then failing twice was bad but asking the customer to print it was adding insult to injury. No complaints procedure either. After wasting 2 hours I had to cancel the order and find another company.”

Hi Alex, I’m really sorry to hear you haven’t yet received your parcel. We work with couriers that we believe can deliver very best service possible, so it’s disappointing to know this hasn’t been the case for you. If you could provide your parcel reference number (beginning with ‘P2G’), I’d be more than happy to contact the courier on your behalf to find out the current status of your parcel. You can email me with your P2G number at online@parcel2go.com. Dianne Fisher Parcel2Go Customer Services

Hi, Alex, Really sorry to hear that your chosen courier has failed to collect your parcel. We only work with couriers that we expect to be truly reliable, so it’s disappointing that you’ve been let down on this occasion. Due to reasons that include heavy traffic, roadworks or complications with other collections, it’s not always possible for a courier to collect a parcel on the originally agreed date. That said, I do understand your frustration, and would like the chance to investigate why your collection has failed on this occasion. I have located your order and will email you from here.

“Series of errors, zero communication and little help! I sent a simple package from UK to Germany for my partner's mother birthday. Reasonable price so what could go wrong? I heard nothing for 2 weeks and it never arrived so I went online to check the status - showed as "Held in depot" in Germany for over a week with no status change. Odd ... and would have been nice to have been told but never mind. I chased it up on chat and was told it was damaged. I asked for it to be delivered anyway but apparently it can only be returned to sender. Not great, and felt odd it had to go international again but didn't query it. I guess accidents can happen but very disappointing that I wasn't even told. I then waited another 2 weeks and went online to check the status - this time it showed as in the "Reading depot" where it had also been for over a week with "Please contact customer service". Again, it would have been nice to have been told! I chased it up on chat and told that "Please allow for it to be returned as soon as possible". Great - I'm only 30 mins from Reading - should arrive any time now. Waited another 1 week - status hasn't changed at all - it's now been in Reading for 2 weeks apparently. Another chat session ... similar response of wait longer. Asked about claiming but I need to take a photo of the damage (pointless as it's been neither delivered nor returned!). And for refund of cost ... have to wait until it is returned. So I'm still waiting ..... what a farce!”

“ordered an item with the 24 hour service. i received a call from the courier saying it was damaged in transit. i have been contacting parcel2go every day since it went wrong over an hour every day. Every time getting the same automated messages and being transferred to other so called service advisers every time. One week after scheduled delivery i still am no further forward and £200.00 out of pocket. These guys are a JOKE and aim to keep you on the online chat for so long you give up. A case for watchdog these guys should be. very disappointing and wont use again”

“I used Parcel2Go a few times before having an issue, and they seemed pretty good. But now wish I had never found them in the first place. I can honestly say you are better off walking the parcel to its destination, as if anything goes wrong (and in my case the packages were completely ruined) the customer service is non existent. You will sit in a chat window for (in my case 2 hours) too long and get the same auto messages of "I'm so sorry for the delay" and "let me look into this for you" and then you will sit there for 10 minutes looking at a blank screen before you get another message saying "I will be with you shortly". Dreadful example of customer service and just the worst way in which you can run a company so I will not be using them EVER again. After looking at some reviews it appears many other people feel the same way. PLEASE PLEASE STAY WELL AWAY, YOU WILL FEEL SCAMMED”

“My parcel contained £800 worth of audio equipment - we sent it via MyHermes through Parcel2Go and they claimed it was delivered, but it wasn't. Parcel2Go's customer service is not good at all when things go wrong. There is no phone number to call and no email address to write to. There is not even a complaints policy on the website to get anyone's attention. All you can do is go into a chatbox and wait for an hour while an operator takes forever to answer even the most basic questions. They are handling multiple chat windows at once, which is why everything takes so long. I spoke to three operators on chat over the space of a week and all three of them said they would send through proof of delivery from MyHermes by email. Nothing ever arrived and I kept having to chase the chat operators - wasting hours of my time in the process. In the end, they confirmed that they couldn't guarantee they would provide me with any information as they are so busy. This is clearly appalling customer service. No one seems particularly interested in helping us, in fact they would much prefer us to just file a claim, buy new equipment and get on with life. After much effort, I finally managed to track down an email address for their Claims department (claims at parcel2go.com). I filed multiple documents for a claim, all of them kept getting rejected until I emailed Parcel2Go and they then finally confirmed they had sufficient information. But despite having an existing claim in the system, no one seems to be interested in actually helping us process and finalise that claim. We have lost £800 worth of equipment and Parcel2Go doesn't give a damn. it's now been a month since I sent my parcel through Parcel2Go. They have not been able to provide any useful information about the so-called 'investigation' that's ongoing into our lost parcel. We need the missing equipment to run our business. Parcel2Go just seems to want to keep the investigation open indefinitely without providing any cut-off date or helpful information, presumably because they don't want to pay out for the missing claim. We are very, very unhappy and upset with Parcel2Go. The communication and customer service has been appalling.”
