“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!”

“Had an email notifying me of a surcharge for a parcel shipped to the USA. I'd declared the weight as 1.7Kg and they had apparently had feedback from UPS that the parcel weighed 14Kg and was very very much larger than I'd specified. Parcel2go not much use despite an extended web chat, insisting that I must have made a mistake. Spoke to UPS and they had no record of their being any query with weight or size, so I'm not sure what's going on here?”

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. Having looked in to this order, I can see that the payment has been removed. I will contact you from the order to discuss this further. Dianne Fisher Parcel2Go Customer Service

“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.”

“I booked 5 services through Parcel2go for personal effects to be sent via UPS from London to mainland Spain. I booked the cheapest service and they guaranteed my boxes would make it to Spain by the 7th of March after having dropped them off on Monday 27th of February at my nearest UPS Accesos Point in London. All of the boxes arrived at my spanish address together on the 2nd of Marcha, in perfecto conditions. Their tracking service is excellent and helped me predict what time the delivery would me madre to my address. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else shipping abroad.”

“I despair of this company. My parcel was damaged and was returned and I had to pay again to get it sent. It is pretty nigh impossible to speak to anyone, there is no email no phone number and if you are lucky enough to speak to the live chat facility the live chatter must die during the conversation. All I am trying to do it get a refund of my first delivery charge. I am sure they think that if they make it difficult I will go away. I will never use this bunch of rogues again.”

Hi, I am sorry for the issues with the parcel and this not being delivered to the receiver. The reason that we don’t currently have a phone number for customer services is that in order to offer the cheapest parcel delivery prices possible, we need to cut down costs elsewhere. However, you can still contact us via our Live Help facility on our website. Our Live Help system is designed to speed up the process of resolving any problems our customers might have when compared with a standard phone line service. It also helps keep costs down to ensure our customers are always getting the lowest possible prices on their deliveries. I will be emailing you from the order.

Promised call backs numerous times and surprisingly not one call back has been received!! Been told no managers are available to speak to constantly is just beyond a joke. Live chat is an absolute waste of time full of false information and promises.

Hi, I am sorry you are feeling frustrated with the service provided here. Renee has explained to you that the item has been returned to you because you weighed the item as 20kg and this is what you booked this as, however, when the courier received this back in the depot, they confirmed the actual weight was 18kg bigger than this at 38kg. This means that the item was too big for the couriers network as confirmed when booking that the item cannot be any bigger than 20kg. I will email you from the order directly.

“I have inccured numerous problems with this company that I am now sick of it. Every time I have sent out a parcel with parcel2go, they either don't collect the parcel, lose my item, say they haven't got my parcel, charge me for collection of parcel and then I have to go drop it off, give my parcel to a neighbour so my customer doesn't end up receiving it and don't even let my customer know of this or attempt delivery and don't go back to deliver it for a very long period of time. Whenever I then go to contact the comoany they do absolutely nothing about it, there customer service is also rude and unhelpful. They never sort out the problem and always try blaming my customers when it has nothing to do with them. PARCEL2GO is absolutely rubbish. I have never in my whole entire life reviewed a company or wrote bad about a company but PARCEL2GO is absolutely disgusted that It left me with no choice but to write a review so everyone is aware of there service. The amount of times they have lost my parcels and don't even compensate for it and make me receive a big loss as I have to compensate my customers and I also lose out on the items I am sending it's just absolutely disguting even taking it up with a manager makes no difference at all THEY DO NOTHING AT ALL! At this rate they will definitely be losing a lot of customers! Piece of advise- YOU RATHER PAY THE EXTRA 10-20p but use a different, more reliable company! You will end up losing a lot more trying to save the pennies with this company”

“I used Parcel2go for the first time last week. After reading the reviews (after it had been sent) I was rather dismayed at the amount of negative ones so hoped everything would be ok. The parcel was collected by a very friendly and courteous driver from UPL and the journey began! Tracking it was so useful and very interesting as you start to appreciate the amount of work involved and various handling etc it goes through en route. My parcel arrived a day before the allotted time in good condition and I have nothing but praise for the company and the prices are amazing! I will have no hesitation in recommending to anyone else - fantastic service!”

Hi Jan, I am sorry for the issues with the delivery here. The issues with the delivery has been caused because of the contents that had been sent (as per email) and there were duties and taxes applicable on the goods. Your parcel may be subject to a customs charge upon arrival in the destination country - this is not something we can control. The charge on the item will vary depending on the item, the value of the parcel, the parcel contents and the discretion on the guidelines in the delivery country customs. Unfortunately Parcel2Go will not be able to advise whether a parcel will or will not attract charges as each individual parcel is treated differently. In the Terms and conditions of carriage it shows the following information- 7.3 We shall not be responsible for any local customs charges, import taxes or duties or any similar charge(s) incurred through our carriage and/or delivery of any Consignment and you must satisfy yourself as to whether any of these charges will become due, and if so in what amounts, before completing an order with us. If any such charges become due as a result of our carriage and/or delivery of a Consignment on your behalf and are charged to us by any competent authority you agree to reimburse us fully in respect of the same within 7 days of our demand. If the charges are added they would normally be requested from the receiver of the parcel, however if the receiver refuses to pay the duties and taxes the sender can pay these. Sometimes there is an additional charge for the payment if this is made by the sender, this is something we would not know about before sending. I have emailed you about this issue.

“Worst delivery service out there. Avoid with all cost!! Arranged to have a parcel sent to my nephew who lives in Spain and made sure to arrange in plenty of time with a service which guarantee delivery BEFORE the 23rd of December 2016 I dropped the parcel off on 14th of December and the item has STILL not been delivered and it is the 17th FEBUARY 2017 today. AND NOTHING!!! I Spent the whole of Christmas backwards and forwards in live chat trying to sort out what's going on. One very disappointed little boy with no gifts he was told to expect all thanks to rubbish Hermes and parcel2go. I was then told my parcel would be returned to me and that was over a MONTH ago in january, and still NOTHING... worst of all Parcel2go have no contact details apart from some crap live chat facility from their website, where nothing is solved at all and the chat is suddenly dropped. Wouldn't recommend to others, actually PLEASE avoid like the plague! BEYOND THE WORST COMPANY IN EXISTENCE.... TOTAL FRAUDSTERS AND I HAVE REPORTED TO UK TRADING STANDARDS AND WATCH DOG FOR REVIEW.”
