I had an extremely frustrating experience with ParcelABC that I feel others should be aware of.
First, my parcel was redirected to UPS. The courier failed to collect the boxes not only on the chosen date, but also within the following two business days. This caused immediate delays and inconvenience.
When I requested a refund due to the failed service, the amount was issued as store credit instead of being returned to my credit card, which was not acceptable given the circumstances.
Hoping to resolve the issue, I placed a second order and deliberately chose a different shipping partner. However, ParcelABC once again redirected the shipment to UPS without my consent or any prior notice.
Communication throughout the process was poor. Updates were delayed, there was no proactive communication, clear instructions or timelines. The courier notification came just two hours in advance, making it difficult to plan accordingly.
It has now been two weeks, and my parcel still has not been shipped. Overall, this experience has been highly disappointing due to lack of reliability, transparency, and customer support.

I needed an urgent shipment from Brussels to Barcelona. The urgency was due to the fact that the package had to arrive at my daughter before she left for a long journey. I bought a UPS shipment in 3 days on the night between Monday and Tuesday. The retreat was scheduled for the same Tuesday. I immediately received the charge of 39 euros (not a little) and the contract, without the shipping labels. Together, a strange email asking me to provide a deposit of 15 euros for any customs fees (from Belgium to Spain???). I didn't deposit anything but started to smell like a scam.
On Tuesday morning I wrote repeatedly to customer service receiving only automatic, useless responses. No news of the labels or the courier. After the morning I wrote further asking for the cancellation of the contract. Fortunately, after terminating the contract with ParcelABC, through another broker found on the net, I was able to send the package with FedEx that afternoon (2 days) at a cost of 20 euros. At 23:59 on Tuesday I finally received an apology response for the setback from ParcelABC and, along with it, the labels arrived for a package collection scheduled for the next day (therefore one day delay). I replied by reiterating that I no longer have any interest in transport and that I have already explicitly expressed the revocation of the contract for the supplier's default.
No answer. The next day the UPS courier came by for the collection and was obviously rejected since the package had already left and, in any case, it would no longer be on time.
Since then I have written repeatedly to customer service without ever getting any response. Obviously no refund has been made to me. I don't know if to call them scammers is appropriate.
In any case, it is an excessively expensive service (even in case of execution), inefficient, totally unsatisfactory. Maybe if I hadn't been in a hurry, I could have avoided canceling the contract and accepted the delay, but if you buy an express shipment it's because you need it and those who are not able to guarantee it don't have to sell it. In addition, once the service has not been guaranteed within the expected terms, a company with a minimum of seriousness should apologize and immediately reimburse the customer. ParcelABC instead first tries to force you to accept the disservice by ignoring the termination of the contract and then disappears without acknowledging any refund. It disappears as only thieves and cowards do.
Update:
After my review I was actually contacted with the refund offer that should arrive in about ten days. Thanks.

Booking a shipment with ParcelABC was very easy. Everything was clearly explained.

I can only give an absolutely negative review of this service. I booked a pickup from Mexico that was supposed to take place on Monday, paying over €500. However, not only was the pickup not carried out, but despite numerous emails and messages sent through the website form, we have not been able to get in touch with anyone.
Unfortunately, when calling the support number, we are asked to leave a recorded message—which we have obviously done—but without receiving any response.
We are starting to think this might be a scam and that no carrier actually exists. Be careful!
We will keep everyone updated on any developments.

A very helpful platform for international shipping. The process is simple and pricing is competitive.

Due to the current war, one of my parcels was delayed, but after contacting support, they quickly delivered it to me.

For the second time now that it takes over 2 weeks that the parcel is picked up from home. It’s even worse then the national Chilean shipping company what is really impressive. Absolute shit service!

I was told after 3 weeks that I would be refunded import tax duty if there wasn't any to which there wasn't as my order didn't exceed the import tax bracket, despite numerous emails asking when I will receive my money back I still haven't received a penny back yet.
They're thieves and I'm currently filing small claims court action against them

I used ParcelABC to ship a parcel from the UK to the EU in November 2025.
After booking and paying I was unexpectedly asked to add an additional €180 to their e-wallet to cover potential customs charges. This requirement was not mentioned during the booking process. I was clearly told that the full amount would be refunded if no customs duties were applied.
No customs charges were incurred.
Despite this, it took nearly 4 months and multiple follow-ups to receive my refund. During that time, I was initially told to wait for processing, then received no updates, and was eventually offered only a partial refund with a 25% “admin fee”, which directly contradicted what I had been told.
Only after I threatened a chargeback and legal action did they acknowledge the issue and process a full refund.
While I did eventually recover my money, the experience was frustrating and required significant effort.

HORRIBLE COMPANY! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
I had 2 shipments from EU to UK with this company.
First one..we paid the transport, paid for insurance and then they asked for customs taxes to be pre-paid based on their approximation of what amount the taxes might be. It is stated that the customs invoiced is issued 21 days after the delivery and once that is issued you get a refund for the amount it was pre-paid or for the rest of the money if there were taxes paid out of it. We paid everything they asked for and the parcels got shipped.
It's been 3 MONTHS since the customs invoice was issued and since I am back and forth with them for a refund. Their answer is that they will check with the financial department! WHAT? 3 months to check a stupid invoice??
Second shipment (which was initiated before I saw how HORRIBLE their service is)... the parcels got stuck in a deposit and they are absolutely USELESS in helping to unblock them or provide more information about why the parcels failed to be shipped. It's been a bit over 2 months since the second shipment was initiated and I think I can consider them lost.
I have a long thread with the customer support for both deliveries, but they keep repeating the same thing without actually helping. I tried to call their UK support line and I think that is a total scam as nobody is picking up no matter how long you actually hold the call.
In a summary, they do not care about your parcels, they do not take responsibility for the orders and DO NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY!
ABSOLUTE SCAM!
AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR PARCELS!

Avoid this company at all costs.
I provided all required information immediately after their request, giving them several days of lead time before the scheduled pickup. Despite this, they failed to issue a simple shipping label — the most basic requirement for the service.
As the pickup time approached, I still had no label, no confirmation, and no meaningful response from their support team. My follow-ups were ignored or met with automated replies, showing a complete lack of accountability and professionalism.
Because of their failure, I am now at risk of missing an important deadline. This is entirely unacceptable for a logistics provider, where timing and reliability are fundamental.
This experience shows a complete breakdown in communication and service delivery. I would strongly discourage anyone from using ParcelABC, especially if your shipment is even remotely time-sensitive.
I have notified them that I am requesting an immediate reimbursement.

They seem to be another one of those companies that flood this site with fake reviews to drown out the bad ones.
I’ve had nothing but issues getting my parcel collected, the customer service responses are incomprehensible and they take days to get back to you making the whole process impossible. I’ve asked for a refund many times, yet they continue to ignore my request for this (which is mandatory under EU law). Also no phone service to speak to someone. I’ve noticed how they respond to reviews on here quicker than they do regarding your parcels! Shows how much they monitor and likely manipulate this platform. There are 740 1 star reviews, many uploaded daily, yet there are just over 2,000 5 start ones. How can they have such divisive feedback if it’s legitimate?
I would like a refund.
In response to my review response (still awaiting a customer service response which takes days and numerous follow ups), you know my parcel number - I’m currently dealing with your customer service agents, when they choose to respond, and it is the subject header. Also - where do you want me to provide the parcel number, you just say provide it? I’ll put it here as an edited review as thats not clear PTGB-085652206. As I have said to your customer service colleagues, you’re now trying to charge me under your terms and conditions. Any terms and conditions seeking to restrict or exclude my right to a refund for services not provided are unenforceable, as statutory consumer protections under UK and EU law take precedence. These rights allowing me a full refund for up to 14 days for goods and services not performed or delivered. I couldn’t take up your service due to the poor communication and lack of clear, transparent information and pricing. I would like this here so others don’t fall into the same trap

A response to your further response, as I’m not getting any feedback through customer service but strangely I am on Trustpilot. I would like to reiterate that as the service was not provided, I am legally entitled to a full refund, and any terms attempting to deny this are unenforceable under applicable consumer law. The service became completely unworkable due to unclear communication and a website that is incredibly difficult to use. I will happily raise this with ECC and trading standards as I can see many others have very negative experiences with your company encountering very similar circumstances.
I also note that since posting my negative review half a day ago, 3 other 5 star reviews with supposed fantastic experiences have been posted attempting to filter out my review

After waiting a week, since the trustpilot response below I received the following via email:
"Dear Client,
There was a change in team and our last team member is not with this company anymore.
I would like to ask you few questions.
You asked for refund, yes?
You refused to pay customs prepayment, yes?
How did you receive labels?
Please let me know.
Kind regards.
Laurynas"
This is after various emails outlining my position and reflects the level of competence I've experienced throughout. It's impossible to work with this company and genuinely believe they are looking to misinform and take advantage of people.

They lost my package, and when it finally arrived it was terribly damaged. They rejected any requests for insurance compensation, or even a refund for the shipping costs. Only ship with this company if you want to lose a lot of money.
Update: they replied and requested more information. I am providing that for them.
