Seems to have been pretty reliable - called to collect on time and delivered as requested. I did pay for a signature on delivery which I didn’t get - so only 4 instead of 5 stars

I paid extra for a signature to be obtained but according to my email to say parcel delivered it states no signature obtained. Other wise I would have been very happy with the service

Terrible experience with this company

Terrible experience with this company. I would never use again and I would suggest nobody else does based on my experience. I needed to return a vanity unit to Victorian plumbing as it was unsuitable for our bathroom. It was repackaged in the boxes it came in and I submitted the dimensions supplied by Victorian plumbing.
We received an email saying we could not have a refund by Victorian plumbing as the unit was damaged. On seeing the photos the unit had been effectively been smashed to pieces in transit. We were told that it was our packaging that was inadequate and no compensation offered. The unit cost us £400. Then to add insult to injury the company then charged us extra delivery even though we used the weight and dimensions on the sticker from the original box. These were correct as I checked the measurements. They had kept my payment details so charged without authorisation.
Absolute joke of a service. Do not use.

Struggled to find a reasonable delivery service/ price for a 2.1 meter long parcel until I found Parcelhero.
Great price options £14 against £47 from the cheapest parcels2go offering. Easy to use service for a first timer. Fast delivery service by UPS.
Overall a good experience.

The worst company ever

The worst company ever, they lost my parcel and won’t refund me as they argue the value of my parcel is higher than what they can refund me so they decided they won’t refund any amount, a complete joke, a punch of thieves.

Exercise caution!

Be very careful. I sent a parcel and then was notifed a week after it arrived that the weight was incorrect by 7kg and an additional charge had been applied to my credit card. I weighed it carefully and put the correct weight and size on; regardless, even had it been 7.5kg more, it would still have been in the same weight bracket and price. When I complained, I was told that I needed to provide evidence in the form of photographs of the weight (!) and also of a tapemeasure showing the dimensions. I would advise anyone to exercise caution as this is clearly an exercise in 'trying it on', assuming that most people would not be able to provide this kind of evidence. I have successfully challenged it with my credit card company but would strongly advise anyone thinking of using them to make sure they do take photographs (although of course, they presumably will reserve the right to decline it as unsuitable. I would certainly only ever use them again if they were my last option.

Please don’t trust this company

Please don’t trust this company. Zero stars. They ruined a gift parcel sent to my mom in Sri Lanka. Items were missing/stolen from inside the box, and the body washes and creams were crushed so badly they exploded over whatever was left. Careless handling, zero security, and ruined memories. Even they didn’t give me proper delivery details about my parcel. There was a contact number they put in their website but it didn’t work. They don’t even have a proper customer care. Only massage that we have chat and had to wait hours to get reply. In the beginning I felt it like a scam. Also they said it’s door to door. But my mom had a drive 30 miles to bring the package and also she had to pay Sri Lankan rupees 3500/-

That’s all my fault I trust this company.
Avoid this company at all costs!

Avoid

Avoid. Sent a parcel last year. Gave the weight, size etc. thought it was going to be fine. Parcel got lost. 7 months later the parcel returned to my house, damaged and contents ruined. Complained and was eventually told that the parcel was sent in inappropriate packaging (the original packaging the items were sent in and was asked to return the items in). Over a year after I sent the parcel I’ve now been charged with an additional £9.90! For a parcel that was never delivered. Absolutely fuming.

Parcel Hero charged an additional £3.95 after the package was delivered.
The invoice provides no details as to why, it just started UPS had added an extra charge.
I’d weighed the parcel accurately & added an allowance to the dimensions so I can see no reason to have incurred an extra charge.
There is no email address to query the charge & their customer service just has pre written responses.
Very poor I will not use Parcel Hero again.
