Used this company many many times, I have had problems with collections not being collected a few times but have always got the situation sorted straight away with their live help, as soon as you tell them the parcel hasn't been collected they apologise straight away (unlike myhermes who don't apologise at all until you ask them) and look into what has happened for you (and on a couple of occasions given a small gesture of good will to compensate). The prices are amongst the lowest and customer service amongst the best. After recent problems I have experienced with another company I will stick to using parcel2go from now on.
I have purchased many items through Amazon from both Amazon and other retailers through Amazon and I can honestly say everything has been delivered on time (usually earlier than stated) and all purchases have been problem free. I have only had good experiences with this company and can only hope other companies follow suit.
Parcel not collected, no apology until I asked for one, then told it's nothing to do with them as I didn't book with them but with an agent despite the fact I booked through myhermes.co.uk and paypal payment was to hermes. check below for correspondence in reverse order. (sorry for length of review).
As I put this together I phoned them and also found them to be extremely rude.
I ordered this delivery through www.myhermes.co.uk. DO NOT TELL ME I ORDERED THROUGH AN AGENT AS BELOW IS THE EMAIL I RECEIVED THROUGH THE MYHERMES WEBSITE.
YOU ARE A DISGUSTING COMPANY AND YOUR REPLY IS OFFENSIVE.
I DEMAND A FULL REFUND IMMEDIATELY AND FURTHERMORE I WILL BE REPORTING YOU TO TRADING STANDARDS WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED FROM YOU.
BELOW IS ALSO THE PAYPAL PAYMENT MADE TO YOU AND NOT TO AN AGENT
YOU ARE A JOKE AND I NOW BELIEVE WITH GOOD REASON THAT YOU ARE THIEVES

> Good Evening,

> We are sincerely sorry for any frustration caused. Unfortunately you have emailed MyHermes, we are a brand within the Hermes Company, who the parcel is being sent with. We are unable to look into this delivery as it is not an order booked through myhermes.co.uk. We at My Hermes deal with parcels sent from private individuals to other private individuals (C2C).

You will need to contact the retailer directly and they will be able to assist you. If necessary they will contact Hermes on your behalf to resolve any issues.

> Comments: Below is a live help transcript from today, I am even more shocked with your lack of customer relations that I had to point out a lack of an apology before I received one.
> MyHermes Advisor (Listening)
> MyHermes Advisor: Welcome to myHermes webchat.
> MyHermes Advisor: Good Morning
> MyHermes Advisor: Welcome to myHermes webchat.
> MyHermes Advisor has left the chat.

> MyHermes Advisor: can i take your parcel number and i will look into this for you,
> richard lewis: 8812785852812751
> MyHermes Advisor: ok if you give me a few moments i will look into this for you
> richard lewis: ok
> MyHermes Advisor: do you wish the parcel still to be collected ?
> richard lewis: Are you joking? do you really think I will waste more of my time with a joke company
> MyHermes Advisor: ok so do you wish the parcel to be cancelled then ?
> richard lewis: I wish for a full and immediate refund of the monies paid for this delivery and I want to know how I can cancel/close my account so that after the 2 parcels I will take to the shop today are delivered I can close this account
> MyHermes Advisor: ok i will refund this parcel and if you take the other parcels to the parcel shop, once you have done this the if you log into your account and then go to My account and you will then be able to cancel this
> richard lewis: Thank you. I would also like to point out that I am going to use this full transcript to write a complaint to your head office and also put into forums to show your complete lack of customer support, do you realise that I waited for 12 hours for my parcel to be collected and then after it was NOT collected you have NOT apologised for my inconvenience. My proof of a joke company.
