For starters the booked courier failed to turn up on the day he was contracted to, without any communication or explanation. He arrived next day, with no apologies or explanation. Then a week or so later I received a threatening additional invoice stating 'Due to packaging this shipment had to be manually transported through the depot incurring an additional charge.' If anyone is thinking of using Interparcel, I'd strongly advise thinking again!!!!!

Parcel Lost in Sydney -never got to Perth Do not use Interparcel. This company is incompetent, unresponsive and lie as standard customer response procedure. I have been waiting for my parcel for about six weeks now. Despite numerous promises of we will look into it and we will get back to you, nothing ever happens. They will resist putting anything in writing. After about four weeks of chasing them, they have the audacity to ask to sender to resend another parcel so I am not inconvenienced. Idiots! Parcel cannot be replaced. They will do anything to try to get out of paying compensation for the lost item, not to mention the lost time and effort in having to chase them repeatedly. My favourite bit -their website claims the parcel as delivered, even though they lost in it Sydney and know this. To Interparcel -dont bother responding or asking for the tracking number for the twentieth time, we all know you don't care. I am still waiting for the compensation. I have chased their so-called customer service so many times and always get more false promises and the runaround.

I thought i was receiving spam emails. I get emails from Interparcel, who ever they are? saying i owe them money, But get this. No telephone number to contact and no information to Why i owe them money. Seriously Just an email to contact interparcel team to pay. But Pay for what ? I always prepaid for my Labels online , So they are already paid in advance. Got a physical letter the the mail, still no telephone number! and no mention of Why i owe this payment, and no tracking number for the parcel and if i don't pay they might take it to court. by the way costs have been tripled for late payment. Who in their right mind is going to pay a bill, That they don't know what its for ? there was a ref: number on the letter so i found their telephone number on the internet. I ask for the complaints number They don't have one, he said ill send you a link, But the complaints link in the email was the link for their BILLING DEPT. Lol , they said the bill was for a receiver not excepting the parcel, so Interparcel charged me for it to come back. I deal with Parcel Monkey online, and if INTERPARCEL come up in the results i'm going to AVOID them.

Given one star as there is no zero, this is by far the worst and most incompetent service I have ever received. After paying almost £100, my parcel from the 14th of December that was meant to be delivered to the recipient in the 19th still has not been delivered. The FedEx service has been asking the recipient to provide taxes by credit card, which the recipient does not have and instead advised her to commit fraud telling her to use my details. I have spent hours on the phone in the last 3 weeks only to be told by Interparcel that I should just wait even after expressing the importance of the parcel! they have done nothing to help. Fedex is asking the recipient to travel a 109 miles to collect a parcel I paid to be delivered to their door where the taxes should have been paid. The stress this has cause is not worth it, this is an expensive shipping service that should deliver better quality service. I doubt there is even any point raising a complaint as you won't get anywhere. You will only repeat yourself everytime you call to no avail! Sincerely MISS SICK AND TIRED OF HORRIBLE SERVICE

I sent a parcel over 30 days ago. I contacted Interparcel at least 3 times about it. I've not received any answer nor help about my order. Contact them is very difficult, they chat is off again.

Parcel went missing and no one willing to help or assist. Each one keeps telling me to leave it 24/48 hours and come back but nothing. If looking to send a parcel internationally use Pack and send or Fed ex as Interparcel are simply useless. Customer service extremely poor. Happy to take the money but not deliver on their service.

Appalling experience using this company and their associate Evri (rebranded name of the notorious Hermes). The best thing I can say about this shower of outfit is that they gave me a refund. Four appointments to pick up the same parcel - all no shows. No reason given. No response from customer complaints dept. Just wasted my time, my customer's time and probably lost me future business. Be warned - this company masquerades as a courier provider but they are anything but. Just go direct to a reputable courier, cut out the middle man and save money and time.

Currently having a major issue with no hope of a happy ending.sent client product to France using fed Ex priority. Correct address given. Fed Ex don't deliver & client very angry.speak to interparcel. I'm told address incorrect. I query with client who confirm address is correct & in fact fed ex just dropped off a parcel from another retailer an hour since and using same address info. Speak to interparcel... they tell me it must be the driver.. he may be new. After several calls, emails we get to the stage a week later fed ex have sent the parcel for pick up 3 hours from clients address. Another call &email we get it changed... system updates within 12 hours (this is important folks)and item now shown as passed to 45 mins away from clients address. I ask again for it to be delivered to client. I'm told by a lovely lady she has spoken to fed ex and it seems the number of the address was missed off the fed ex scan but is on my order form and label. We are both gobsmacked that no other interparcel employee checked this. She now confirms as its Friday parcel can't be delivered but will be on Monday 27th guaranteed! Monday... no delivery. I call to ask why. Interparceltell me system needs 48 hours to update so we will see update and delivery on Tuesday or Wednesdayas weekend doesn't count. I make a complaint .. again... I ask for a manager and I am told 'well they'll only say what I've said'. But a manager calls me and says she will personally handle the issue. She reiterates fed ex need 48 hours to update (funny that the system took 12 hours to change last time tho??) ... go forward 4 days.... still no change. I ask for a refund of postage as fed ex have never attempted delivery. The client is driving to their depot on Saturday 45 mins away to pick up the parcel. Interparcel send me an email which states I am sorry no refund is due on the shipment, this is not covered by the money back guarantee, an attempt was made and then this was taken to the store for collection, the issue has been logged with the courier to advise an attempt was not made, but no refund is due. So the email is wrong yet again. I ask for the manager to call me within the hour. I'm still sat waiting. Interparcel and fed ex have both been paid to provide a service which they have not provided. I now have to refund the client as this is only fair and good business practice but the cost of the courier was more than any profit on my product. After using interparcel for over 10 years I have had 3 issues and not once have they ever admitted fault, helped solve the issue for the client so that it ends with a happy client or refunded under their supposed guarantee. I have 2 parcels destined for the USA next week which will now be going with a different courier. It means nothing to the staff at interparcel that I won't be using them again. I'm a small fish in a big pond who interparcel have little regard for.

Shocking how downhill this company has gone parcel not delivered as paid for customer service not interested Would not help and used different excuses not to refund Steer clear moral of story pay cheap get a cheap poor service
written by PeterBu on 27/02/2022
Interparcel is not a serious business. They take the parcel, take your money and then pass it to other parties to deliver. They state that they cannot guarantee delivery. In my case the parcel was wrongly marked as "sale for goods" which meant that the customs office required to meet the recipient to discuss the relevant tax charges. Interparcel refused to take responsibility for the error and blamed the customs office, who in fact were acting correctly. Interparcel does not have a professional customer service team who simply send out standard responses without first exploring the details of the case. Even worse, senior management gives woefully inadequate responses and claim "we do not guarantee delivery and we do not cover compensation claims.".....even when in breach of contract. Interparcel should be investigated for unethical practices. A total disgrace. DO NOT USE INTERPARCEL!

Very disappointed by my recent experience with Interparcel. They are trying to charge me an extra £63 for what they say is an under declared item, I have sent evidence to prove the item was not under declared, including photographs of the item being measured, I have gone through their terms and conditions to prove they have no grounds for the charge, I have offered that they come and measure it themselves but they refuse to drop the charge, it's utterly ridiculous and stressful.

I booked Hermes on Interparcel site, they lost my parcel neither company ever reply us , the tracking number state returned we never got refunded or the parcel back .

The 1 star is for their website; nice and easy to use. The customer service when there is an issue, is absolutely disgusting. I've used Interparcel for 4 years and had nothing but bad experiences. I thought I'd finally had my first helpful one, but then received a charge from them (after being told in writing that I would not). I had an issue with a delivery not happening, one irate recipient/customer so I agreed to refund her and get the parcel sent back to myself. I used the 'return parcel' function on my order on Interparcel's website, and paid again (£8.82) to get this back to me. I emailed their customer service team to make sure I had done the correct thing, and received a reply a few days later to say not to worry, this will be returned AND the £8.82 refunded. I was amazed, and thankful! A few days later I received an email from their Billing Department with an invoice for £13.82, for the same parcel. I have queried this with them, showed them the email from their colleague telling me I would not have to pay, but they are still harassing me for payment. Shocking service, and I would absolutely NOT recommend using them. It may be a good price, but if there is an issue you will be treated extremely poorly.

The worse company i have ever dealt with. Quoted 5 days to deliver a parcel to Portugal. Customs etc paid in full and 56 days later my parcel is at InterParcel back in the UK. No help or assistance offered avoid at all costs. Will not refund or resend the parcel

I booked tuffnells through interparcel, and the item is a week late. Neither interparcel or tuffnells could care less, and just repeat the tracking. They refuse to give a refund for the item or breach of contract, and as of Monday there will be a county court writ for loss against them, as they booked the 'service'. Their customer 'service' is a joke, as is tuffnells who claim ‘road closure’ when they claim to be unable to take it out on delivery. I am surprised they are still in business as nothing they do or say is true.

You think you know best, you ignore the thousands of negative reviews of a company because you know better than anyone else. Folks, take my word for it, Interparcel do not care about you, your parcel, your business or your reputation. Your parcel will go missing, they will lie about it, use every "Customs" excuse in the world and then tell you that it will take up to 6 months to return your parcel (which I have no expectation of receiving) DO NOT USE !! Interparcel, what a horrible uncaring un professional bunch.

Absolutely poor service and misleading information. They advertised to deliver it within 3-5 working and its been 6 weeks now and no luck with it. Please never use this company as its very stressful and disappointing

Terrible! My goods were damaged. After chasing them up for 4 weeks I am due to receive £25 compensation for the £300 of goods taken by them. Shameful

I would never recommend using their service. They lost 2 package worth more than $20k of medical equipment. (StarTrack) said unable to locate package its a big box!!! Second big box they lost is worth $20,000 of medical equipment UPS. What a nightmare! they can lost any package without having consequences, then nothing. They are all in a big box. It's like you misplaced a refrigerator in your house.

Laurshar's Response to raypkemp's Review
Written on: 14/09/2023
This is exactly what has happened to me just this week. Luckily for me I had photos of this order, they are still claiming that the the thickness of the cardboard 1cm is incurring and $82 charge. The invoices are coming in thick and fast with a dollar a day increase. It’s actually unbelievable and I’ve never seen a company do this before?

This has happened to us this week and it sounds like an identical story of what happened to you. It’s an absolute disgrace and I’ve never known of a company to try and invoice after the delivery, and after the fact as they are it’s just a money grab and it’s a disgrace.
