Sending Parcels UK/Spai

Postby RichardCoeurdeLion » Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:07 pm

I found this on a forum based around Manilva

www.parcelsplease.co.uk

Did a dummy quote and it came out very cheap.

Sending parcels.

Spanish Lad, I wonder whether you are who you say you are?! Ecoparcel is a Scam Company so you can't have used it and tell us that sending was "spot on".
Please people. if you want to hang on to your money, DO NOT USE them. We filled out all the required info, paid, got answers and then the parcel never got collected. GONE MONEY and credit card details!!!!

I have used ecoparcel.eu also and they are most definately not a scam company. You must have gone to a wrong site, as you can only pay via Paypal at present as they do not accept credit cards or any other payment.

I've used them and was happy with price and delivery time, I'd certainly use them again .

Could Mr Handforth have got onto ecoparcel.co.uk instead of ....eu?
I note that their fancy website icludes a misspelt "Warington" instead of "Warrington", so rings an alrm with me!

I am concerned that Mr Handforth has sent me a P.M. warning me off http://www.Ecoparcels.eu and I used them last week with fantastic results.
Was about to congratulate SL on such a fantastic find as they were tip-top, arrived when they said would, actually collected by Parcelforce and flown out by DHL, tracked all the way on their website and arrived two days earlier than predicted.
So I now have to say "Alan Handforth, are you really who you say you are??"
I will also confirm you can only pay by paypal.

I can asure you that I am NOT a rival company and certainly NOT a scam and I only recount my experiences.(I actually have a small hotel in the Campo)
We booked and paid them and then they said they were going to pick up the parcel and after a few days got a message saying "the parcel does not have the right measurements" Whatever that means!
I have sent them numerous messages on their contact form asking for our money back, but always receive answers that make no sense!! Anyway I have cancelled my creditcard for security.
Are YOU perhaps "Eco Parcel"?????

Out of interest Alan, what was the bit after the dot on the website you used? Googling the name gives .eu .co.uk etc - it is an easy way for a scammer to pretend to be someone they are not!

Mr Handforth,

The Ecoparcel that we have all used (ecoparcel.eu) does NOT ACCEPT credit cards. Payment only by Paypal so it can't be the same company. Ecoparcel.co.uk on the other hand I have never used and can't comment on their service however, their website does have a few suspicious items such as the misspelling of their own address and lack of capital letters. There is also very little information on their website. On the ecoparcel.eu website you have to put the parcel measurements to get a price rather than get an email later on.

I can understand that you are very angry that you didn't get the service that you paid for but it is important that the right company gets the blame so that others can avoid using them and without affecting the business of a company who is not responsible (and no, I am not affiliated with ecoparcel but, I do run my own small business and use ecoparcel for european deliveries, and know that reputation is important). Many of us have used the .eu company and been very satisfied with both price and service.

If you paid on your credit card you should be able to claim the cost back as aren't most purchases insured?

Yes, any purchase where service not rendered will get a no quibble refund from mastercard/visa and I also can confirm that the eu company do not take any payment except paypal.
I think you may have been scammed as crazyred says, by clicking on a wrong website.

as everyone else has said, its ecoparcel.eu NOT ecoparcels.co.uk.

i am not a trader.

i do not own a company.

i do not have that much money, im a struggling expat who was looking for a deal.

i got my deal, a gearbox delivered from slovenia to spain for 24€ door to door, thru ecoparcel.eu.

if you think thats a scam, then you carry on.

if you have been "done over" then please, dont come on here blaming us.

the company that i recommended (after a recommendation from gerryh ( i wont take credit for it) was spot on.

www.ecoparcel.eu is a top site. yes, they cant spell. yes, they cant reply very well to emails. they are bulgarian ? owned, but do a blimmin good job. if i´d thought of it before them, i´d love to be taking their profits.

I'm flattered for all the praise, but it wasn't me who recommended them.
I haven't used them yet as I haven't needed to send anything from Spain.
