Good value for money for my parcel: £8 more than Royal Mail, but guaranteed delivery date (3 days) and full tracking available. It was worth the extra

PS - go on google reviews and see that for ParcelCompare they average 2 (two) stars (out of 5) - and trustpilot they have 46% of people giving Parcelcompare 1 star.

You have been warned.

If I could give zero stars I would. OK. So I paid for a package at 8.15am this morning - to go to Poland. They confirmed it (through DPD - btw if I had gone direct through DPD it would have cost me £16 - but via ParcelCompare it cost £20) - they took my money but I could not print off the label because there was a 'system fault' - they said to wait for an email from them.

So I waited.

And I waited.

And I waited some more.....

2 hours later still nothing........ this package HAD to go today. I tried to find out info on what was going on but their web-site was like being lost in some Kafka nightmare - there is no way to speak to anybody (no phones) and the 'chat' function - though they said it worked - didn't.

So I sent this email to customer services - saying:

"WHERE ARE MY LABELS????? HOW CAN I SEND THIS WITHOUT LABELS _ THEY ARE STILL NOT READY _ W&F IS GOING ON?????????????????????????????????????????????"

(in the original it had a 'T' where the '&' sign is - Feefo will not let you say "What The (and you know the third word is).

I got nothing back - other than a standard confirmation and a message saying they'd be back in touch 'within 4 hours' and a name of the person the case was assigned to.

So I waited - and waited.......

Still nothing.

So I thought give it one more try and sent this:

"Why is nobody telling me what is going on? Why no emails explaining where my label is? It's now almost 4 hours since I paid for this - I have nothing to show for it. Are DPD going to try to pick this package up today? I have no idea.

I tried to cancel the order - but it won't do that either.

So I am stuck.

5061721411631 - is the tracking number.

Can you help me?"

Guess what? NOTHING.

So after 5 hours I gave up and paid for another courier to deliver the package.

And this is the response I got from parcelCompare:

I AM NOT JOKING THIS IS WHAT THEY SENT ME

Ready?

Everything was perfect and seamless - excellent service. Pickup by UPS and delivery on the other side by DHL. All at a better than anywhere else, price.

Easy to use but i think a shorter time span for collection would be helpful.
eg..between 9-11 instead 9-5 a whole day is not too good.

Everything went smoothly with parcel compare. Only negative comment is re UPS when dropping off the parcel as per instructions with printed labels was told by the access point that also need to provide a copy of the invoice, went back with invoice, then told needed two copies of same! Each trip took me an hour so was not impressed.

Collected in Surrey on a Thursday afternoon (as notified when booking), delivered to the recipients in New Zealand on the morning of the following Monday (NZ local time). Barely four days door to door - a brilliant service!
Thank you.
