Sent a toy electric car back to…

Sent a toy electric car back to supplier for a refund. On the box it was printed with dimensions and weight. Got quoted and charged about 80 plus pounds to deliver it back. Few weeks later I had two payment taken from my account without notification. One £1.50 and the second £180.00 ish pounds. Tried to contact company but got Ai. No real person. Talked to bank and unfortunately payment had already cleared. I got, after payment, invoiced for incorrect size shipment. I had no where to go. Please don’t use these people as they there is accountability and they set you up as account which gives the access to account. In my view it’s criminal.

TERRIBLE SERVICE AND A TOTAL CON!!!!

Shocking service right from the beginning. Parcel was delivered 4 days later than originally quoted. Tried contacting which in itself was a nightmare, to then be told it was out of their hands and to read terms and conditions. 2 months later receives an invoice for extra charges due to dimensions. parcel was exactly the dimensions i paid for at booking. Cannot get through to speak to anyone and automated system goes round in circles. Impossible company to deal with. Awful service, save yourself all the grief and go straight to the courier, not the middle man. WOULD NEVER USE THEM AGAIN EVER

Wish I checked here first..

Just cost me £60 to return something.. and not once did it says I needed a printer. I pay and think it's all complete and it says I need to complete booking.. so I do that and it says 'Print documents'

I don't own a printer.. nor do I know anyone that owns a printer. So I have to cancel it.. and they charge you £5!

DO NOT USE

DO NOT USE
I posted a dyson air wrap with insurance and they lost it. I am trying to claim the insurance but they are asking for single documents one at a time. Now I sent them all they want them all in JPEG. Then they want proof of invoice to my bank account. Then a photo of my card ending in those numbers. Then invoice. Then initial invoice. All separate the service is SHOCKING and they are taking the piss.

WARNING - DO NOT USE PARCEL HERO

WARNING: DO NOT USE PARCEL HERO. I tried to send a parcel. Paid the money and then never got a label, code or tracking number. The online support will absolutely not do anything without a tracking number so you have to try and raise a support ticket. Good luck with that. You get an email that has a link in it that takes you back to where you started. I wasted an hour going round in circles. My Advice: Use parcel hero to help choose but do, then go direct to your chosen parcel company website. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH PARCEL HERO. I am still waiting to get my money back. Crooks.

Super easy to use

Super easy to use - one thing to consider is a further document will be need to be drawn up to pass through customs but I got AI to create a non sales invoice and it worked successfully.
