“Good company to deal with, leaf blower arrived quickly, but unfortunately was fit for purpose so had to return which was very easy, and would recommend buying from them.”

HI Peter, Sorry to hear your purchase was faulty, but very pleased to hear our return process was easy for you and that you would recommend buying from us still. Please would you consider updating your review? As we feel 1 star is more for the tool due to the fault, and your feedback implies the service you received from buyaparcel was worthy of more than 1 star. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear you are unhappy. We have to say having looked into your order we are unsure why this review is negative. It appears your order was delivered successfully several weeks ago with a photo of handover provided by our carrier, so we feel confident delivery was made. There is no record you have been in touch to advise you didn't receive your order or request a refund. If you would like to discuss this issue, please do get in touch with our friendly customer service team. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

“My son ordered 3 room thermostats for me on 19/12/22 paid next day delivery, after speaking to them on phone, and told I would definitely get them the following day, if I paid extra.Money was taken out of my bank and guess what no thermostats have arrived, it’s now the 21/12/22 and I have had to send electrician away twice. Emailed and no reply Telephoned 41 times and guess what they are all busy. Ring from opening time all the way to closing time still busy. And I think the excuse will be blamed yet again on the delivery company. So why pay the extra.”

HI Mark, Sorry to hear you had trouble getting in touch. We can certainly see a delay with your shipment, but glad to see when tracking your order it did reach you eventually. We want to assure you this order was shipped the same day you ordered on a next day service. Sadly DHL let both you and us down here and didn't meet expectations. We are at a loss to explain your difficulty reaching us, as during the majority of our opening hours we have 4 people answering the phones. There are often periods of the day where no one is on any of the lines. We can only assume bad luck or you called outside our opening hours. We can see you paid a premium for next day delivery, as this clearly didn't happen we will arrange a refund of your delivery fee. If we can be of any other assistance, please do get in touch. We'd like to think you'd have no trouble getting through to us on another occasion. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

HI, Sorry your experience wasn't good. Occasionally our team go to prepare orders and find stock missing or damaged. This seems to be what happened with your order. Due to the nature of some online payments , we can only ship to the original delivery address requested by the customer, to ensure all necessary protections on the transaction are there for our customers and ourselves. Because you required shipping to an alternative address, our team would have suggested cancellation/refund and re-ordering as the best option we could provide. Stock issues like this would be an inconvenience, we are sincerely sorry for any caused. We endeavour to improve our systems all the time, to reduce incidents like this to an absolute minimum. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

HI, Apologies your order arrived a day later than estimated. Sadly December is a time where we see more carrier delays that usual, particularly this last festive season. We can't see that you have been in touch with us, please do contact us to discuss the quality of customer service you describe. As our team are often praised for their quality of customer service we would like to look into this further. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

Hi, Sorry about this issue with delivery. We can see DHL had so much trouble getting this to you they returned your order to us and we arranged a full refund for you. We can't say all deliveries go well, but problems like this are rare. We send thousands of items on a given day and the vast majority of deliveries go very well.

Hi, Apologies about the issues with your delivery. It appears you have been in touch and our team advised they would chase this delivery up for you Tuesday. Unfortunately despite chasing your delivery it appears the shipment is lost, as there is still no movement on the tracking. Due to this issue a refund will be arranged for your order today. We will also update you regarding this directly. Apologies again that delivery failed on this occasion. We keep a log of these kind of issues, they are reviewed and kept in mind when our contracts with carriers are assessed. You can be assured this loss will be addressed. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

“Bought a faulty item. Mixer shower stopped working within weeks as handle spun but nothing happened as it didn't grip the valve to turn water on/off. Its because the part is plastic and it starts wearing down from the metal valve so no longer grips the valve. There was no way of removing the handle therefore had to break it to get to the valve to shut water off. When informed the company, they were insistent that it violates their warranty and did not want to hear any more. Very rude and unhelpful. Refused to give contact details of complaints and escalation procedure. Sent Consumer rights act letter of complaint. They ignored and insisted I do not contact them again. Refused to communicate further. This company has lots of complaints and a history of poor service and poor quality goods. Avoid at all costs!!”

Hi, Sorry you are unhappy. Due to the physical damage you advised us you caused yourself, your warranty would have been void. We have run your case by management and been advised to issue you a refund a kindness. This has already been issued and should return to your payment method soon. There will be no need to return the product as warranty cannot be pursued on a product that is damaged by the user. We would advise to dispose of the product once you are confident your refund has reached your account. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

“Ordered and paid for next day delivery, sent a dispatch email, however it hadn't actually dispatched, no answer from customer services for days and then a shrug of the shoulders and a refund for the additional I had paid for next day delivery, which is the very least that could have been done. Multiple emails chasing for an update with no reply until today.... Had I realised they would not actually ship on time I would have ordered elsewhere at a lower price.”

Hi Steve, Apologies about this issue with your order. I can see our team shipped on a slower delivery service in error. This is not usual and the issue will be addressed with our team. I can see we responded to your complaint, apologised and refunded the delivery fee paid for faster delivery. We hope this has gone some way to making amends for this issue.

“I purchased an item in stock with my credit card for next day delivery, received an email confirmation but never received a tracking number within 16 hours - i spent numerous times calling the advertised buyaparcel number and was met with a "all our agents are busy" message continually each time i called. Other form sent emails about packaging went unanswered also. Without any explanation or a call to me from their finance department, they refunded my purchase 20 hours later, to later claim by email, after i raised another ticket with them, that they had advised me it was a suspected fraudulent transaction - without any evidence they had contacted me. Dreadful. TL;DR I will shop elsewhere.”

HI Paul, Sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience. To explain, each transaction made with us goes through some checks of details with financial bodies such as your payment provider. Sometimes these bodies come back to us to advise we need to reverse the transaction, as details submitted may indicate a fraudulent transaction. We must strictly adhere to this advice, but do appreciate at times it is an error on the part of financial institutes and can cause inconvenience. We hope you are understanding of these necessities and would reconsider buyaparcel in the future. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

HI Daniel, Sorry to hear your are upset by the service. We understand our agent attempted to assist and advised on your enquiry. It was advised we couldn't source more detailed information than the advice slip in the box with the product. We advised how you would adjust your product which was achieved during the call. Our agent also advised it is always best to get advice of a preferred professional when fitting plumbing items if in doubt of anything, as we wouldn't want any issues for our customers resulting in damage to their home. We also suggested during the call if there was any concern with the product we are happy to raise a return for refund also. Sadly toward the end of the call you insulted our staff and ended the call. Sorry our assistance wasn't adequate for you on this occasion. We have done our best to assist you. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.

HI, Sorry to hear your order didn't arrive. Please do give us a call on 01502 473 025 at your convenience, we would love to assist. Unfortunately there are no order or contact details attached to your review for us to reach out to you. Occasionally emails get lost in the ether of the internet or are sent to the wrong address, so our team don't get them. I am also aware the team have been short staffed due to sickness and running behind on responding to emails. It may be we haven't yet reached your email. Sorry for the delay if this is the case.

Hi, Apologies that our carrier let you and us down on this occasion. We don't have your order details on this review, so we are unable to look into this fully. There are limited situations where we cannot re-send an item and refunds are issued. Such as a lack of stock once a carrier has lost the original shipment, however this isn't the only reason we are sometimes forced to refund over re-sending an item. Sorry that your order wasn't sent again, but we are glad to hear our team responded and resolved this issue by giving you a refund. Kind regards, buyaparcel customer services.
