Parcel2Go - a shower of shite.

[lacroupade]

Just a little update....parcel eventually got delivered nine days ago (ten days after it was collected for next day delivery haha) to a completely spurious address in London - recipient called us and P2G arranged for TNT to collect and return to us next day (last Thursday).

Guess what.......nothing.

Now they are conducting a "depot search" which is a euphemism for "some thieving bastard has stolen it but we don't want to break the news just yet".....

I won't bore you with the enormous catalogue of emails, phone calls, online help discussions and broken promises but P2G and TNT are just the biggest showers of shite in the business.

Parcelfarce are pants I've tried before but they're more expensive than asking a courier to come to my house and actually deliver it the next day for half the price parcelfarce wanted to deliver it in maybe 3 to 5 days but not guaranteed and I'd have to take it myself to the ruddy post office stand in a queue of drunks trying to get the last 78p out of their account without any id only to be told eventually that the parcel is too long :doh

I used Parcel force with a business account and to be far they were spot on at collecting from across the UK and delivering back but that was mostly business to business.

I think that is the kind of business they want as most business to home is a night mare cus no one is every in at the other end.

anyone got a recommendation for shipping 2-3 kgs of stuff to the States?

 

[Fez_uk]

I think it's too heavy for royal mail.

again look at quotes on interparcel, But remember usa is a pain to ship to.

why? Its only heroin? :lol

I believe max delivery to abroad is 2kg for airmail small packages.

also you need commercial invoices with the package if sent with courier, Even though if it isn't commercial (in my case).

They need 3 of them, major pain in the ass if you ask me. Look it up to confirm this.

Think TNT need 6!

actually Interparcels 2-5 day rates dont look too bad considering. Not bothered about doing paperwork as its commercial anyway. Any ideas how much I should charge for 3kgs of heroin and can I accept payment via Paypal?:nenau

I wouldn't even joke about shipping heroin to the USA, you know how touchy they are about European grey imports, they like to keep the home industries on top and chances are they will say your European stuff is not as good as theirs, if it doesn't have Made in the USA on it , it's crap. Besides, haven't they got a direct supply line from Afghanistan to the US? All those C47s going back and forth all the time, miserable gits use our airport (Shannon) but won't share the goodies.

Glad they have been ok, only problem with them is their phone line is like premuim rates

But they do have online help via chat.

Their economy service is great £6.99 usually for a good weight and size. gets there within 24hrs usually.

Never needed to ring them :thumb2 I've been mean and use the 4.99 jobbie:naughty
