Completely Unreliable Service, Ghost Couriers, Fake AI Support, and Extortionate Cancellation Fees!
DO NOT USE ECOPARCEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
I booked a parcel collection well in advance because I had an upcoming flight to leave the country. I scheduled everything according to my travel timeline, fully understanding that a single day of delay can sometimes happen in logistics. What actually followed was five consecutive days of complete ghosting. Over those five full days, nobody ever showed up to pick up my packages. There was not a single phone call, email, or system notification from EcoParcel, nor from their partner courier GLS. I was left waiting endlessly for a service I had already paid for while receiving zero updates.
Because nobody ever came, my departure date arrived and I was forced to leave the country without my belongings. My packages are now left stranded in a completely different country from where I am living, with absolutely no way for me to retrieve them. This complete failure on their part has caused me severe personal and material disruption.
Attempting to resolve this through customer support only made matters worse because reaching a human being at EcoParcel is completely impossible. There is no public phone number and no direct email address. Their entire support setup consists of a website ticketing system run by an AI chatbot pretending to be a real agent. When you demand to speak to a real person, the bot claims an operator will contact you as soon as possible, and the chat freezes forever. You end up trapped in a dead chat thread where no one ever responds, and the system prevents you from even opening a new ticket.
The ultimate insult came when I tried to request a refund for this failed booking. EcoParcel expects customers to pay a €6 cancellation fee per package to get their money back. They completely fail to show up, ruin your travel plans, leave your belongings behind, and then try to penalize you financially for cancelling a service that never happened because of their own incompetence. Save yourself the money, stress, and massive head-shake by avoiding EcoParcel entirely and taking your items directly to a local post office instead.
