Title: Parcel 2 go Sucks
Post by: Jay w on 18 January 2008, 18:46:13
Wed of this week i popped over to see ffcgary to sort out getting an exhaust he had for sale.

sorted out with Gary about getting it collected, i have an account with Parcel 2 go so i decided to use them.
We didn't have a post code but i gave them a full address that would get them to the location, on their site there is no stipulation for post code, but i understand how helpful they can be as i used to be a courier driver.

The accepted the job, took the payment and confirmed with an email. the following day i then got an email saying the courier had rejected the job as they didn't have a post code   >:(

phoned parcel 2 go, they were rude and unwillng to do anything to help. I need the exhaust by the weekend as i need to get this job done, parcel 2 go suck, they commited to doing a job and then backed out.....

i have cancelled my account and told them to shove their business where the sun doesn't shine

My complaint is with City Link, for being too efficient !. They tried to deliver one day, nobody in so they left a card saying it had to be collected, so I made a special detour the next day to pick it up. However they had decide to deliver it that day after all so my detour and time was wasted  :-X

It's about time these couriers had a "don't bother to deliver it cos I won't be in" box to tick. I buy quite a lot of stuff on line. It all comes by courier, I'm rarely at home during the working day so it's a complete waste of diesel them trying to deliver it but they all seem to try for a couple of days before giving up whereby I collect it from the depot.  >:(

Amtrak have a 100% failure record for me, so now I don't buy from companies that use them

there's a couple of shops round here that'll take parcels in for you. much handier than travelling all the way to a depot i reckon! I don't know what (if anything) the shops charge tho, as i'm often in during the day!

but seems like a useful service to office types :)

Funny, I had to complain about the rudeness towards two of the girls in my office the other day, from a CityLink driver. I phoned their customer service line and was told that I would need to phone another department. I wasn't going to go round the houses and told them that, unless they got a manager to call me back, I would phone their customer and complain to them instead.

I had a call from the depot manager within 10 minutes.  :y
