The Parcel2Go Request a Refund Page Instructions

When you have finally found the page titled 'Request a Refund', you will first notice the Parcel2Go criteria for requesting the refund. You will need to see if your situation matches one of these issues;

To be eligible for a refund, you must:

  • Have booked the delivery within the last 28 days
  • Request your refund before collection or drop-off

Note: If your collection date has passed, we may be able to process your refund immediately. We aim to check and process all other refunds within two business days.

Word for word from the Parcel2Go Request a Refund page.

Now that you have met the criteria, there are a bit of additional confusing steps to take!

Next, you will be asked to 'Find Your Order' by reference number, name, or address associated with the booking and a specific timeline of 7 days to 1 month. And now you must provide a reason! From the 'Provide a Reason' drop-down menu:

  • Customer Cancellation
  • Duplicate Order
  • Failed Collection
  • Label Error
  • Multi Parcel Error
  • Prohibited Parcel Contents

When you have successfully met the Parcel2Go Refund Criteria, there will undoubtedly be a significant waiting period for an actual refund to come your way. Because of the type of information needed to complete the 'Request a Refund' process when researching this business for this post, there was only limited information available. Without providing an actual reference number or name and address of a customer booking the service, the trail goes cold at this point.

What Do Former Parcel2Go Customers Have to Say About the Request a Refund Service?

For those of you who have had issues with Parcel2Go in getting your refund, know that you are not alone. The consensus on Parcel2Go refunds is 'difficult' at best. This is according to reviews.io where Parcel2Go scored a meagre 1.5 out of a potential 5-star review across 2,037 Parcel2Go customer reviews.

Their refund process was labelled as 'difficult', and the return process was 'could be better', not very much in favour of the courier service from Bolton.

Uninsured Parcels

Perhaps the most used customer complaint was in the area of parcels that were not insured. The complaints were fairly the same in Parcel2Go either not processing the claim for some 'very technical language' in the fine print of the parcel agreement or the insurance purchased did not cover the 'specific' type of damage to the shipped item.

Mr CY, Aberdeenshire of north-east Scotland, had this to say about his experience with Parcel2Go and their insurable items compensation policies.

I recently bought a cooker from a supplier via eBay and arranged for Parcel2Go.com to collect it and deliver it to my home in north-east Scotland for £50. When it arrived, it looked as though it had been dropped off the back of a lorry – both doors were smashed, and it was useless.

Parcel2Go initially approved my claim for a refund but then rejected it on the basis that I hadn't opted for insurance. When I pointed out that TNT, the actual courier, must have been negligent in causing that much damage, Parcel2Go pointed to a clause in the terms that indemnifies it against pretty much anything. This arises from certain goods being classed as "no compensation items". Ironically, the insurance cover that was offered would not have been valid anyway, so the reason they gave me for rejecting my claim was disingenuous.

This is just a multitude of like complaints, which leads to asking, 'Is there not a faster and easier way to deal with this?'

There is! And we will show you that way now!
