“Can not contact them at all !
Keep sending e mail but no reply
Phone number non existent
Chat non existent
More expensive than going direct to companies.”
“I should have searched online review before made purchase sending parcels using parcelcompare, I am glad I used Paypal and was able to get my money back. This website is a scam.I paid to send my parcels but no service offered at all.”
“Do not use . They broke my item and then took extra money from my account claiming my parcel weighed more then what I stated . However my argument was if that was the case they should’ve gave me the option to if I want to proceed still or not which they didn’t . . I can’t believe they took extra money from my account I’m fuming ..”
“A total scam. My parcel took 9 days to travel 50 miles with UPS and arrived damaged, contents damaged and over half of them missing. NO customer service, no way to start a claim not even a CS phone number on their website. The number I was calling previously no longer attive. Do NOT use them”
“AVOID !!! Parcel Compare & employ Tushar Sharma.
Charging £27 to deliver parcel to Europe. Was stuck in France for ... custom?!
It was returned after more then a full month and after that, they deducted £30 again (this time for returning the parcel) without my approval from my Barclays account.
First time I experience such stilling.
Do not give information regarding the bank card!!!
AVOID this junk Co.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Absolutely awful service. Parcel collected 22 March with website saying next day out for delivery, for the next three days website saying out for delivery. Given this was a large parcel whose contents were expensive I kept on chasing up, had to raise a claim which was supposed to be resolved within ten days. Parcel delivered 7 April, I told the company they hadn’t informed me! Their website gave information which eventually said it had been delivered to a village 10 miles away from its intended destination. I was given verbal assurances by phone the parcel was being delivered that day, website said in transit, local parcel centre said they hadn’t received when website said they had, what is totally wrong is they are not covered by an industry ombudsman. Do not use them. Refusing to give refund.”
“DO NOT USE this company, their behaviour is appalling. they have taken money out of my account without my permission, and now I have to spend time escalating this legally and deal with all the stress that comes with it.
Not worth the hassle for a few pounds cheaper to send a parcel, And you can't talk to anyone if anything needs resolving.
Will not recommend this company to anyone.”
“Fraudsters, Stole from my account!!! I used them to send a Parcel to spain, £19 delivery paid with Debit Card, as no other company seemed to send to spain, a DPD driver collected the item on the 12th April, and then returned it on the 13th April, I contacted ParcelCompare to find out the reason and was told the "escalation team" would get back to me within 4 hours. I had no response, and after a week of repeated emails and no replies, I assumed it was a scam and refunded my buyer for the item and the postage, leaving me £19 out of pocket. I then get an email on the 11th may, telling me they have taken £125.94 from my account, without authorisation, to cover "return fees", with an arbitrary invoice with no real information attached. This has to be illegal, they surely cannot just remove money from my bank without authorisation. It's the equivalent of a tradesman helping himself to your wallet to cover the cost of his lunch. Avoid at all cost, complete fraudsters.”
“I wouldn't even rate them one star if I could help it.
Complete scam company. On the 29th of march they picked up my parcel to be delivered to germany- scheduled on the first of April.
On the 3rd of MAY it was still in their German customs, I'd received no updates and they claimed I filled out the customs invoices wrong, and said I didn't include tariff numbers (when the TNT service says on their website that tariff numbers aren't needed, hence why I went with them)
They're now demanding that I pay the return charge after multiple emails from me asking them to not bother and I don't want it back.
Low and behold the parcel has returned, with half of the items broken/useless to me and are still demanding I pay.
Do not waste your money with this company. They're disgusting.”
“By far the worst experience that I have ever had with a consumer service provider. Customer support is appalling if you should encounter any problems - they take no responsibility. Their business model is all about additional charges. Be aware that your PayPal account may be set up for automatic payments so that they can help themselves. Avoid, avoid, avoid.”
“Awful company! Please avoid, I wish I had read the opinions before I hired it.
I used it to send 3 boxes to Spain, I paid customs and an enhance insurance. The boxes were retained in customs and returned to England. After weeks of emailing the absolute useless agents, because there is no telephone number (and now I understand why) I finally got the boxes back in England after 9 weeks. They were absolutely destroyed, with many things broken and some others missing. Parcel Compare blamed me as I should have known that Spain didn’t receive any parcels from Uk due to brexit (I thought that was THEIR job) and they didn’t pay for the broken items because the enhance insurance does not cover anything apparently. They even had the cheek to offer me £15 credit to use within 10 days! For what? To break me more things and steal more money???
So after 3 months of dealing with this disgusting company, the boxes are not in Spain, I had to throw away the broken things and I couldn’t do anything with the missing things. I basically wasted my money and time.
Please, avoid, AVOID!!”
“This is worse than a SCAM.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!
I have had the most stressful and unpleasant experience and I am considering legal action.
Thieves....that's what they are. I have lost a lot of money and they are demanding payment to return the parcel to me!”
“I used Parcel Compare for sending my parcel to Slovakia.
It was picked up on the 6th of April 2021
It was birthday presents for my cousin’s kids. Nothing unusual.
I was tracking my parcel regulary and tracking was saying ‘in transit’.
As parcel was in transit for a few weeks I contacted Parcel Compare and they said receiver didnt clear customs and the parcel is being sent back to me, in a cheeky way they also sent me an invoice for paying again to have the parcel returned.
Receiver and me never knew about customs duty as nobody notified us. They do not accept their failure and clear mistakes. How should I know we need to pay for customs with no contact regarding this customs charge and on their website saying ‘in transit’!
It is the 9th of May 2021 and still my parcel is “in transit” and they are asking me to pay for it to be delivered back to me!
I found their service very unpleasant. Its sounds cheap but in the end is double the price and your parcel will not be delivered
I will never recommend this company”
“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY USED THEY SERVICE CANCELLED IN GOOD TIME ONLY OFFERD ME 2.84. WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 8.84 DISCRACE OF A COMPANY SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS”
“Dreadful service. Failed to deliver parcel, returned it from Austria after 3 days without contacting the recipient or sender. Failed to answer questions in emails. Took additional payment without permission for return of parcel, which was refunded by Paypal.”
“This is possibly the worst service I have ever dealt with. Do not, and I will reiterate that, do not use this service. On the 7th of December someone was meant to pick up my parcels and it took me 4 rebookings and 11 days later to get someone to pick them up on the 18th of December, for which I was charged extra money for rebooking the service. The packages were meant to arrive latest by the 25th of December. In the end only one of them arrived 5 days late and the other still has no arrived (after 5 months). They have now made me pay 40 pounds extra because suddenly one of the packages did not have an e-mail address attached to it, which I was forced to pay as they would dispose of my items if not.”
“This company has got to be the worst I have ever experienced and customer service is appalling. Never even attempted to deliver my parcel but charged me and now wanting more money to return it or they will destroy it.”
“Parcel compare has a really bad service.
The service I paid for never collected my parcel. Did not refund my money and wants to charge a cancel fee for its poor service.
I will advice all future costumers to never use the services of this scammer company. The worst I ever dealt with.”
“Get charged for your parcels to be thrown away
If you want to pay for a fraudulent company to explain to you why they actually won't deliver your parcels and threaten you to throw your parcels away if you won't travel internationally to pick them back up, you have come to the right place. Don't miss out!”
