Very late delivery
I sent my parcels on 11.09.2021 from Sydney to Slovakia. Europarcel assured me that it will all arrive before Christmas (max 3 months after sent).
At the beginning of December I emailed Europarcel to ask when can I expect the packages. They said it won’t be before Christmas because of ports being clogged. Of course, I was disappointed because I had my Christmas gifts in the packages.
I sent total of 5 packages and received them all in different dates. Two in January (13), two in March (3) and one in April (11). Btw, last package was on the way 7 months and packages were arriving in different containers?!
I never knew when they are arriving because:
1, no proper tracking from Europarcel to check location,
2, my phone number wasn’t print properly on the copy paper (instead of 035 it was 055),
3, dates of arrival of containers changed at least 6 x times,
4, parcels didn’t come together.
After fixing the number with Europarcel and courier companies, I started to search for some information. If you want to track the package, there are no answers.
After my attempts to get some info from Europarcel, I emailed and called DOMA services, a company in Poland who receives containers with packages and cooperates with Europarcel.
I found a web where you can track your package (only after it arrived to Poland).
This was helpful because I could see when DPD/GLS courier picked up my package and call the info centre. As they had the wrong phone number, I had to update it.
Make your own opinion. Guarantee of three months and FB ad ‘Send Christmas gifts’ were lies. There is no guarantee in time at all.
Two stars ** just because I received the parcels after all. The company needs proper tracking. Maybe creating tracking app for customers would help.
I hope this review will motivate you to improve mainly customer service, cooperation and tracking.
If you know corona is affecting ports and delivery, give people this information before they send packages or give discounts/refunds. Don’t promise things you can’t guarantee.
Best of luck!
