ZERO STARS!!! AVOID!!!

I'd give zero stars if I could. This service is an absolute joke. They always delay collecting parcels and send ridiculous messages with silly excuses. I pay for next-day delivery, but it sometimes takes over a week to deliver a parcel with delays they make. As a business, I can't afford this kind of delay, because it makes me look unprofessional to my clients. On top of that, they always hold up collections and demand photos of the packed parcels. I ship dozens of parcels daily, and I don't have time for that nonsense. Never again will I use this hopeless company. If you're running a business, avoid them, or they'll make you look silly in front of your clients.

Dear Zbigniew

Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations.

To clarify, all three of your consignments were successfully collected and delivered the next working day, exactly as per the express service selected. No delays were caused by the carrier.

We are happy to accept well-packaged large car parts; however, they do present a number of challenges with national carriers due to their weight, shape and vulnerability to damage in transit. Unfortunately, these items frequently trigger both Additional handling and Oversize surcharges from carriers, which are automatically applied when the packaging or dimensions fall outside their accepted criteria. We therefore, aim to help our customers avoid these charges wherever possible.

Our system flagged your most recent shipment as being close to the maximum size limits for the chosen service. In such cases, we request photographs of the packaged item so we can help ensure compliance and avoid costly surcharges or delays. This is a standard preventative measure, particularly for new accounts shipping borderline items.

It’s also important to note that we do not accept used car parts containing oil, residue, or fluids, as these are restricted by all major carriers.

We appreciate that these checks may seem inconvenient, but they are in place to protect our customers from unnecessary costs and disruptions. Our goal is to support your business, not hinder it and proactive packaging reviews are part of that.

We wish you all the best in finding a courier solution better aligned with your business requirements.

Communication

We understand that things can go wrong now and then — that’s not the issue. The real frustration is the lack of communication, which happens far too often. That said, Tegan was a great support. Thank you for stepping in, communicating clearly, and resolving the issue. Well done!

Returned parcel

I booked a parcel which was collected then returned to ourselves. Within a day of asking for help, Tegan managed to solve the issue and rebook for collection after investigating quickly with the courier. Was lovely to deal with and made everything very simple and clear to follow

The experience was great

The experience was great. The lady that helped me out in Customer Service did a great job and she really poured everything to let me have the information I needed and help me out. Her name was Lauren. She was great. The only thing I could complain about is the UPS scanning system. I did not get informed about anything. I only got informed about the parcel arriving by my sister on the scanning system. It was only saying that the tag have been printed that was it.

The best service so far

I have been using Parcelbroker for a few months now and I am so happy I have switched to them after many inconveniences with other similar brokers.
The difference is mainly on their customer support when there are issues on a shipment and Lauren is an example, always professional and make things right in a speedy manner. Well done guys

Great Service!

Great Service from ParcelBroker, dealt with Sophie from the start and she arranged everything for me in simple steps and nothing was too much to ask.

She arranged all the paperwork to be sent to me including modifying an incorrectly filled out customs form on my behalf even scheduled the collection within 10 minutes!

Thank you Sophie & ParcelBroker for your great service I will be a returning customer for sure!
