The airmail does not seem to be as fast as advertised, this should be clearly stated. DHL services are twice the cost of airmail and far above the standard cost for air deliveries from the region.

We appreciate your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed shopping with us, though we also understand that you'd like the shipping fee to be lower, and we agree. However, with current customs duties and other fees, it's really not easy. We always strive to offer the best rates for secure and fast delivery. We hope you understand. Thank you for using our service!

Tariffs Suck

Took awhile but finally came in. Quality of the pants wasn't top tier but that was expected, so I got exactly what I thought I'd get.

Thank you for your feedback! We want to clarify the status of your order delivery. As shown on the tracking page: The carrier has received the order details and will pick up the package soon. Please note that some packages are shipped from Hong Kong and other countries, so the pickup will happen once the package arrives there (during transit, there is no online tracking available). Your order is shipped via USPS, which means tracking will start once your parcel reaches the United States. After that, it will take a few days for delivery. Currently, the transit time is only 10 days, which is within the usual delivery timeframe. Please wait for updates once USPS picks up your parcel. Our online support team is always ready to assist and answer your questions. Thank you for choosing our service!

Great shipping experience

It was easy to place my order. There are many steps to complete a order but it went smoothly and despite choosing the cheapest and slowest shipping option it arrived fairly fast. I think it was two weeks. I also had to contact the customer service before shipping my order and ask them to use bubble wrap for protection. They made sure this information was given to the warehouse, and it arrived safely wrapped in bubble wrap.
I had a very positive experience with this parcel forward service.

Fast trustworthy service

First time I ordered one of those old surplus Russian uniforms off Taobao, but the site itself wont let you order anything if you're a foreigner. Parcelup was one of the services I found that provided a way to buy stuff from China and I gave it a go. Took about a week to get here to the Philippines, service was fast, and they even send you pictures of the item you ordered when it gets to their warehouse. Highly recommended agent if you're ordering from China.

Too much shipping charges for small packet

Too much shipping charges for small parcel. I ordered only 2 diecast car (1/64 size) yet the shipping charges I paid was more than double that of what's shown in the website. Will never use this service. Lesson learnt.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you pointed this out, as we'd like to clarify where the price may not align on our website. Please check our calculator https://parcelup.com/order/taobao-shipping-fees-calculator and verify that the price is the same, plus 16.50 RMB for insurance (it is stated in your parcel information on the order page). The parcel may be small, but shipping costs are calculated based on weight and volume. Although the items are relatively small, they are metallic, which makes the parcel weigh about 0.5 kg. We would appreciate it if you could explain what confused you about the shipping fee or why you thought it was half the actual cost. This will help us improve the information we provide to our customers. Thank you for using our service!

It takes a long time for the package to be shipped

It took a very long time from when I placed the order until the item was shipped.

Reply from parcelup.com

Thank you for your feedback! We see that your order took some time, but let's be objective: when you purchased the items, we notified you that the seller ships within 30 days, which you confirmed. The seller shipped exactly 30 days after the purchase date and on the same day you added another item, which also involved a three-week wait. Everything was packed on the same day we received the last item and shipped the next day, as you paid for shipping. Your parcel was delivered in just 6 days. The entire process was right on schedule, so we're a little surprised by your feedback, especially since we haven't received any communication (email, chat, or otherwise) from you expressing concerns about your order. We appreciate your use of our service and hope you have a more positive outlook on your order.

Great search function, awful customer service

I really love the search function of the site, but it was hard to communicate with the proxy agent, who wrongly estimated the time of arrival for my item. I'm also not getting emails for this correspondence; I have to log in to check if I have any new notifications. Also, the shipping selection is not transparent. If it's not DHL, then don't display that it's DHL on the site. I usually pick DHL because it's cheaper than most, but Parcelup chose to ship my things via UPS. I paid way too much for shipping than I wanted! The products were in good condition, though.

Thank you for your feedback! Firstly, not receiving email notifications about your order is a serious issue. We have confirmed that all notifications were sent and successfully delivered to your email address. If you're still not receiving them, please contact our online support chat, and we'll investigate the problem together.
Regarding the time estimate: we do not provide specific durations but only share information from the seller. Especially if the wait is longer, we ask for your confirmation that you're okay with the delay. The actual processing time can be shorter or longer and depends solely on the seller; if so, we will inform you. We appreciate your understanding.
Concerning shipping choices: we selected UPS instead of DHL for several reasons. DHL is approximately 30% more expensive and may require you to handle customs clearance and pay extra fees. Additionally, your item includes a collar made from a material that DHL might not accept, potentially causing delays. We aim to choose a shipping method that offers the best balance of price and speed, and in this case, UPS is more suitable than DHL.
We understand that choosing DHL might be seen as the only express option, but DHL has many limitations now. Their shipping may be switched to UPS or FedEx depending on the destination, item type, and other factors. Rest assured, we strive to make your order as fast and affordable as possible.
Thank you for choosing our service!

The parcelup service + shipping fees are expensive, I had to pay custom duty fees.
Good service & communication.

Thank you for your feedback! A minimum commission fee applies to your order because your item is under 350RMB. Additionally, since the item is fragile, it requires insurance. Otherwise, the costs remain quite reasonable: we hope you enjoyed shopping with us. Thank you for choosing our service!
