45The worst customer service experience I have ever had, with any business, ever, in my life. This person should not be employed.
Will now have to use an alternative and parcel won’t arrive in time due to parcel not being collected and now having to rearrange with another provider.
I gave 2 rather than 1 star as they have been fine for previous parcels
Thank you
The first problem was customs, where they had estimated the value of my parcel to be of 5 times the value I established in the parcel documents, making the customs tax absolutely disproportionate. Upon questioning the valuation, I found out that the documentation generated by the company in charge of delivering the parcels (worlwide parcel services), was missing the breakdown of the shipping costs. This caused the destination country to estimate the shipping costs to an incredibly expensive amount. I was left with the only choice to pay for the tax because of the mistake of the company to provide the customs documentation properly.
I paid all the costs, and then the parcels were received in an awful state, completely deformed and with items missing in them.
Then I encountered the 2nd issue. A couple of weeks after the parcels were delivered, I got an email from worlwide parcel services claiming that the measurements of the boxes were off so they had to charge me more as I had lied on the information I provided. I kindly provided pictures of the boxes and an invoice of when I bought the boxes, which showed their dimensions in line to what I provided when booking the service.
They claimed that even with the proof I provided, the dimensions were off (by 4 cm), and then pointed me to a clause in their terms where by using their services I agree with any measurements taken by the delivery handler. Continuing to threaten me that if I didn't pay in 7 days they'd add an extra charge and, if even then I didn't pay, they would take me to court.
I have never felt this kind of extortion from any company before and it is unbelievable this kind of service is allowed.
Not only were my parcels damaged, with items missing and with huge fees because of an error on their end, they still had the cheek of asking me for even more fees based on measurements for which they haven't provided any evidence they've taken, and that as far as I know could have been made up or taken when the parcels were all deformed due to the mishandling. And keep in mind this is due to a claimed variance of 4cm!
Absolutely appalling service, and I would honestly recommend everyone to avoid this company at all costs. Save yourselves from worries and look for another company to handle your parcels.Read more
