Yep, it's not if, but when, you will get burnt. Having said that, I reckon a lot of people will take the risk.


ETA: I note that their address is Quality Court in WC2A which looks like it could be a virtual office. Definite moonlight flit potential imo.

i disagree for the reasons i have allready stated , the items we send are made in house so saying i will get burnt i carnt see , also i see that that their are many posts from the ex parcelbee company that got their money back. now i admit that i know nothing about pacelbee apart from what i read here but i also disagree with everyone's suggestions that parcelkings are parcelbee , ie most of the 3rd party companys use mailing addresses, even i use sheif to make my my own website, so nothing i have read in this forum makes me belive that this is a parcelbee company reborn and even if it was i really dont care i look after my own company first, which has allways done just fine, see my other posts if you dont belive me.
i see nothing wrong with sending low value items via parcelkings and saving myself £2.50 min a go. so unless you an give me solid edivence that this company is ie breaking the law or stealing customers money then i will continue to use them in the limited way i have allready have. at this time,i am going to write my own option of a company and you can say what you want but this is not your post is it.

Come on people, let's not fall out. We've all be around here for a while and I know I appreciate your input.

However, have you seen this which is being promoted on eBay:

http://partner.ebay.co.uk/delivery-services

myHermes, Interparcel, Parcel2Go, ParcelMonkey, collectmparcel.com, DHL,

I've no idea why I'm listing them, they're on the page. What does anyone reckon?

I cant agree at all with what matchsticks-on-toast is saying but it’s up to them who they use but giving money to them again is something i won’t be doing.

What i would like to know is how the hell do they keep getting contracts with DHL ,UPS etc??? Surly these companies are not that stupid?

And yes I know I have no proof that parcelkings are parcelbee risen out of the flames but I would bet my left nut on it.

Why do you think the others are a no? They must be doing something right to be up there? ParcelMonkey do have good rates for up 10Kg and collectmyparcel.com good rates for 30Kg, they're cheaper than myHermes, Interparcel and Parcel2Go for up to 30Kg. Granted not every package is going to be as heavy as that but if it is, then it's cheap.

Its a big no for me , some people think i think parcelkings are good i dont and havnt made a comment on their service i just booked a collection and hay it was delivered nor have i made a comment on parcel monkey, but hay why not now, why do parcelmonkey swap companys they use, why does their website go offline at times , becouse they change accounts, citylink, dhl dont care they open accounts as easy a going to the shop to buy cheese.which is what parcel monkey do.. as for collect my parcel remember direct parcel delivery one and the same...as for my hermes ,interparcel , dpd, and parcels to go they are big and dont con people....

Hi,

No I don't remember "direct parcel delivery" who were they? Looking at collectmyparcel.com it's a nice tidy site, DHL mainly, International, Imports, Pallets etc. A lot of service if they're that small?

Not arguing, just find it all very interesting (how sad am I:rotfl:)

as with all these companies,they are just booking agents really
so 'all those services' dont really mean much as they are just admin
