My parcel wasn't collected and I didn't have any chance of directly contacting the customer service do sort this issue and recover my money. There's only the useless FAQ.

Definitely will never use this company any more.

Avoid
March 25, 2018

They do not deliver what they promise. I paid extra money for the next day delivery. As you're guessing - at 8 pm in the evening they let me know that my order was going to be delayed 1 business day. No explanation why! It arrived following day in the afternoon. The goods damaged

No issue
March 21, 2018

I was a bit worried reading that many bad reviews after I sent my parcel but honestly everything went great. They came to pick up the parcel last Thursday in Ireland (FedEx) and it arrived the following Tuesday in Vancouver. The box was not damaged (but I took a lot of time to reinforced it, just in case). I might use it again, still worrying seeing the other reviews but my experience with them has been flawless.

AVOID Parcel2Go
March 20, 2018

Paid for ParcelForce next day 12pm delivery and it did not happen. ParcelForce were willing to refund me but ParcelForce would not. They just state that no delivery is guaranteed! Well not according to ParcelForce's website which is why they want to refund my postage in full. Parcel2Go clearly want extra money each time for optional extras despite that service not being within their control. No doubt they are going to claim for my postage failure with ParcelForce and keep this for themselves!

Scam company. ParcelForce want to refund me but Parcel2Go state otherwise! Avoid and use an alternative company.

My parcel never reached it's destination and has been sent back (it was 40km away from it's destination). As it came back there were two items missing and all other items were covered in a powdery substance. Now that I claimed they're not helping and keep rejecting my proofs even though I uploaded the documents they asked for. No phone number given so I could talk to someone about my problem and the customer service isn't very helpful either. They take ages to answer and then just keep apologising for the inconvenience. Never using their service again. Totally disappointed.

Worst service ever!
February 15, 2018

Worst experience ever! Skipping the fact they didn't pick up the parcel on time (I had to change it to drop-off), my tracking wasn't updated since Thursday last (a week now) and the parcel was meant to be delivered the latest by Tuesday gone. No communication from anyone, when I contacted them I was simply told they had to open an investigation with the courier (DPD UK]) that will take up to 10 WORKING DAYS! In 10 working days the person that was waiting for his birthday present will be back in London! And even worse the very unhelpful 'customer service' girl that I spoke to (bearing in mind this was the 3rd person I was talking to about the issue) decided to insult my intelligence by telling me that my parcel wasn't lost when they said they couldn't find it - I don't know about you but that, for me, is the exact definition of losing something! No offer for refund or compensation what so ever - how can a company with such affiliations only have 1 way of communication with them? No direct numbers, nothing! "We've emailed them and they'll get back to us soon" isn't a solution to a problem that can be solved with a phone call - and possibly employ people that can actual do their job properly other than give your customers stupidly aggravating excuses for attempting to provider a service - note that I say attempting because you are failing majorly at what you're mean to be doing! Sort your company out before starting to get a reputation for being unreliable and borderline scammy!

Parcel2Go have lost my insured parcel, useless and appalling customer service. They did not abide by their own Terms and Conditions, they have not presented an investigation report of the lost parcel, and they had the audacity of asking me to provide a video of the collection of the parcel l so they did not process £200 insurance claim, when their own Terms of Conditions stated clearly these were not required. How can a company sell a service to deliver a parcel, that was collected, it was never delivered. Was not able to paid the insurance compensation that it was paid by me. And even was not able to explain how a parcel gone missing. I have complained over and over again and no satisfactory response. A Joke. This company is negligent and I am at loss as my parcel gone missing, and I have paid extra for an insurance that Parcel2Go was not able to process. A scam.

Do not use Parcel2Go!
January 26, 2018

Parcel2go picked up a parcel with hundreds of pounds worth of goods. They failed to deliver it back to Amazon. When it went missing, they told me I had to prove it had not got there, even though they knew it had not and they had just fallen out with the courier, Panther, who stopped the delivery part way and 'lost' the parcel in a warehouse! However, in spite of my proof and claim, they still did not pay back the supposed minimal insurance and they even kept my fee of £50 to send the parcel that never got there! This is a corrupt company. Go directly to the courier as the courier they used said it was not their issue either as my order was with Parcel2Go.

Dishonest
January 22, 2018

Misleading informations expecially concerning pohibite items, they return back a parcel to me with no explanation, after contacting them asking for a refund they told me it was because the parcel contained a prohibite item (which was not), or better, an item, not even listened on their list, which THEY CONSIDER related to one of the item listened as phoibited (which it was not anyway, and also how I was supposed to know that?). So they also took money off from my refund because of this, sending me less than half of the money I have spent. Definitly not honest, with the tendency to rip people off using tricky escamotages. Not going to use their services anymore.

8 day delay in delivery on a £110 delivery to Hong Kong insured up to £1570, failure to communicate between client and courier.
Unhappy customer = bad seller feedback = less customers = less deliveries for you.
No compensation offered.

USELESS DONT USE
January 10, 2018

Useless. Sent parcel via 2 day service from England to Ireland using DPD Ireland. DPD couldn't get hold of mother-in-law via phone so just held onto the parcel. I sent an email to DPD after getting the 3rd delivery attempt email, which bounced back to me 2 weeks later, the Friday before Xmas. I then phoned them and it turned out that they didn't know where she lived. I got the requested Eircode (like a postcode) and sent it to them on 27/12. They said it would be delivered to MIL on 28/12/17. So the package turns up yesterday... AT MY WORK IN ENGLAND. DPD refuse to refund me as I booked it through Parcel2Go - Parcel2GO refused to refund me either. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN AND ADVISE YOU TO NOT USE THEM EITHER

Fraudulent surcharges
January 8, 2018

I send an awful lot of parcels and have been using parcel2go... Hermes
I am getting nothing but surcharges now. Saying I have booked a small parcel. But according to their measurements it is a medium parcel
The latest 1 is a diary measuring 19 x 12 x3cms
So it's well within the stated dimensions and is a small parcel
I have received YET ANOTHER surcharge saying I have underpaid and according to parcel2go my parcel measures
55 x30 x14cms
I now am having to write measurements of each parcel on the package and take photos of every parcel with a tape measure showing all 3 measurements.so I have evidence
The time it is now taking is beyond a joke
This is fraud as far as I am concerned. Most people would not have any evidence of the size of their parcel.so the companies involved must be getting away with doing this to an awful lot of people
I will be taking my business elsewhere. I just do not know who to use?
This company should be investigated by Trading Standards without doubt

Outrages service! We have a business and use the courier services often through Parcel2Go. MyHermes were loosing the parcels and we were spending hours on daily bases dealing with Parcel2go's customer service to be told delivery is not guaranteed and that we should pay extra for insurance. They didn't seem to grasp the following:
- the insurance doesn't cover our reputation with our customers
- the insurance doesn't bring a smile to the customers waiting for their good for weeks
- if we pay for a service (delivery), we at least need some answers to be able to explain to our customers

We changed to Collect+ hoping they can do what they are paid for better. Well, well, the parcels are waiting to be picked up for 3 days now and on the system says "Collection issue, we are managing". Contacted Parcel2Go for an update and the reply we got is "collections are not guaranteed"! Seriously? Deliveries are not guaranteed and we have to pay extra for insurance and now collections are not guaranteed either. We are absolutely shocked on how they run a business and have no decency to inform their customers/us on when their issues will be resolved. Again, we are loosing customers because of incompetence and Parcel2go are damaging our business!
Moreover, the drivers don't leave any kind of slips to notify the person they attempted the delivery. Parcel2Go's reply on the issue: "the drivers don't carry any slips on them, because they are self employed". How is one to know a delivery was attempted and what the next steps are, etc?
We pay for something that MIGHT be collected, for notification we MIGHT get or not and for a delivery that MIGHT happen - nothing is guaranteed apart from our payments!
Parcel2Go is the middle man and they have to hold their clients (courier companies) accountable for the poor service!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
December 28, 2017

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. How do I claim a refund for the additional charge?

Worst of the delivery companies in England.
Made an order to deliver a new boiler, chose TNT service with insurance.
next day they accepted boiler and after a week delivered me back a completely a broken boiler, boiler was looking like they dropped from the lory.
And now they does't want to refund the cost of the boiler. They say that the are not delivered boilers, but when I ordered their service I indicated that was inside and price 666.26 GBP.

I do NOT recommend their service. I chose them to deliver my parcel to Poland, because they offered me the cheapest option. But of course behind this, there is a very long list of item which they do NOT COVER in case of damages. You can find there every single item which you normally put in a parcel.
So when I was booking their service, I had to answer what is in my parcel, so they knew it contained lamps and cutlery. When I wanted to pay for this order, suddenly appeared a message that in case of damage it will be on your own risk, or they suggested to pay an additional cost to protect my parcel. I chose to pay more money for the delivery of my parcel to make sure it is fully covered and protected for £150.
Nevertheless, the parcel has been received with the lamp broken into pieces. That was totally damaged. We took photos and added to the claim. They aim to solve your claim within 14 days (not 14 working days). I went through 4 e-chats and after 17 days they offered me a goodwill of £21 to cover the cost of the parcel even though it was insured to the value of £150.
They should be ashamed of the service they provide, where in their policy you can find a long list of things which they are not going to cover, but when you are placing the order, there is no information about it. As I even additionally payed to cover this parcel and did not know that this is not going to change anything and they will not cover my parcel. This is just cheating the customers, as they do not take any responsibility for items which we are sending by their company. So in that case you can lose lots of money due to their policy. This is the most UNPROFESSIONAL delivery company which I ever met and I do NOT recommend anyone to use them.
