A package was delivered to parcel pending on 10/23/2024. They have informed me the machine is broken after I have searched for my package. They have not sent me a customary code for retrieving my package, but it is locked in their locker.

On 10/18 and 10/19 I received an alert my packages with tracking ******************************************************************************** had all been delivered. when i get packages, they give me a code to pick them up. they were marked as delivered. There was no way to retrieve the packages from the box. Since then, i have spoken with parcel pending, they tell me contact the post office. i contacted the post office they tell me to contact parcel pending, then finally parcel pending tells me to contact my management at my apartment complex. Everyone is saying contact everyone else. the Packages are in the box but i cannot retrieve them. The doors to the electric unit to open them will not open. I WANT MY PACKAGES. because of this company's actions i have been suspended from the site that i bought my items from. and can no longer trust getting any packages at my apartment. I keep getting the run around. I want my packages.Business Response

Hi ****, We left you a detailed message as to why your packages are stuck in the locker system. The ******************************************** WIFI is down and offline. The locker system runs off the properties internet system. The system itself is not the issue. Its the properties internet that is down that is causing the problem. This is why the telephone and pin number did not work as the interconnection is down. We can not see any of the lockers or where the packages has been delivered too until the property fixes their internet connection. We have already reached out to them twice with no response. Unfortunately until the property fixes the internet issue, we can not open lockers virtually. You can go to the ************** and ask them to open the lockers manually with a key. This would be your only option until the internet connection to the locker system is reinstated. We do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you.Initial Complaint

I have cancer and my package of medication for my illness and chemotherapy drugs were placed in the parcel pending lockers. When I attempted to open the locker, it did not open. Meaning the locker door was stuck. I reached out to parcel pending immediately where they attempted to open the locker electronically and it did not open. Its been over a week of me now contacting the company several times a day with several cases opened to get this medication. I am sick and disabled and my condition is worsening because of this and this company does not care to assist further with retrieving my package. Someone shouldve been sent out a week ago to open this locker because I am sick and disabled and need this medication and they havent. All they have done is opened cases with no resolution of someone to come in to retrieve my package from their broken and faulty lockers. If my illness gets worse, it will be this companys fault for not taking my package being stuck in this locker seriously. I hope other buildings and corporations see this and choose to not go into partnership with them. I am also disgusted with how I was treated by customer support and how there was no concern for me. Please avoid them at all cost. Horrible service and no resolution.Business Response

We spoke to the resident. Unfortunately the property does not want to pay the service fee to have the locker maintainenced. Resident will reach out to the courier to file a missing package claim. Property told resident they check the lockers for her package however, resident is unsure if they ever checked the locker or if the leasing office ever opened the lockers manually with a key and did an audit on the lockers.Customer Answer

We do apologize for any inconvenience the system issue has caused with dispersing out old codes. When IT runs a data sprint to purge out the old codes. You may have recieved an old or an already used code during this process. I have put in a case and escalated this to our Tech Support team for review and rectification. I have also reviewed your account, marked the package that you picked up on 9/9/24 as picked up. You will no longer be receiving old codes or old notifications on this package.

I had packages in their locker. But kiosk was down and I couldnt access to the locker for weeks. I went to apartment manager and they picked up my packages from the locker. Kiosk was still down at that time and manager said they supposed to come and fix the system, but they didnt show.Since then, Im receiving email and text from this business said $3/day for keeping my packages. I already called customer service 3 times and explained the situation, but nothing solved. Im still receiving their email and text daily said they are charging me $3/day. I called them today as well. Im waiting for over one hour but nobody answer.This business always down and we cant access to the package for days.Business Response

Hello, We reviewed your account and the first thing that we noticed is your account is suspended due to the fact there is no credit card on file to keep the account active. In order to keep the account active and in good standing a credit card must be kept on file for any daily charges that occur if packages are not picked up within three days of delivery. There are the properties rules, they own the lockers and they set the fee schedule. Fees that have already been implemented with be reversed and we activated the account for you but unless a credit card is put on file within 30 days the account will go back into suspended mode and you will begin occurring fees again. If you have any questions on the fees that are implemented for your property please consult your leasing office for schedule of fees and details. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you!Customer Answer

First, I owe nothing to this business. I dont want to use this service anymore. this business constantly shut down and I cant even access to my packages. Then try to charge me for late fee. I consider this business as scam.

On 7/22/24 & 7/24/24, bags of cat food and dog food totaling $95.76 were delivered to the Parcel Pending lockers at our apartment community. We have utilized Parcel Pending since late 2020 or early 2021 with no issues. Normally, we receive a text on the day of delivery and if the item is picked up withing three days, there is no extra charge aside from the annual fee. On these two occasions, we did not receive a text for either delivery. When we realized on 8/5 that we were out of pet food and discovered that the vendor had delivered the food to the Parcel Pending lockers, the rental office were able to retrieve the food from the lockers. Due to the summer heat and humidity, the food was spoiled. We started a claim with Parcel Pending on 8/5 for a refund for the spoiled pet food. On 8/7, the customer relations lead contacted us via email and advised that for this reimbursement, they needed a copy of my driver's license or renter's insurance policy and a completed W-9. My husband and I do not agree with providing this level of personal information for a refund, and especially a W-9 as neither of us performed work for Parcel Pending. When I asked how this could be resolved without providing this personal information, the customer relations lead wrote on 9/8 "Unfortunately, there is no alternative available to us." I requested to address my concerns with the company policy with her supervisor (and the date of our annual renewal) on 9/10, 9/19, and 9/20 but have had no response through today's date, 9/24. We would like a full refund for the pet food and the Parcel Pending monthly service rate as of 7/22 - current. It is my understanding that the lockers are still not working for other residents and all of our (known) packages are currently being delivered to our front door.Business Response

Tell Hello, *******,
My name is *********************, I am the Escalation Supervisor for the Parcel Pending Customer Relations Team. I spoke with ******, and she gave me a rundown of your case. I understand you are requesting a refund for $95.76. To process the refund, it is policy that we must obtain a I9 form filled out to send to accounting along with the receipt that you have already provided. Quadient who is the owner of Parcel Pending, is heavily regulated due to the many contracts that are in place with our business partners. It is a requirement based on these regulations that we collect I9 form when issuing any kind of a check disbursement for reimbursement. I have reviewed your request and concern with our director, and I received the same answer that ******* provided you initially, that you must fill out an I9 form for a refund. I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused but I must follow Quadient policy when requesting any kind of funds for reimbursement. If you would like to send the I9 form directly to our accounting department to bypass any interactions for privacy, I have provided that email address as well below.

I just got an email telling me my account was closed because I won't give them my credit card number. I never asked for an account and the packages they are delivering were already paid for by the sender. Quadient (parcel pending) signed me up for a service I did not request and is demanding my credit card information allowing them to charge me for the service they imposed upon me.Business Response

My apartment complex uses this service to distribute packages to residents. In the last 3 months every package I have reserved totaling to approximately 15 has been delayed by failure of there process.It's seems that the package is suppose to be placed in a locker Then a text with a code is suppose to be given to the resident. There is a parcel room witch seems to be intended for oversize items that the item can be placed in instead of a locker this room also requires a code to be input though the locker system to open. Every package I have received for several mouths has been placed in this room instead of a locker even when it would easily fit in a locker. And not one has been properly logged to the system so I have never naturally reserved a code.I have to actively track my package using a package tracking number and request a code from the complex manager ever single time I reserve a package a process that often takes days and is reliant on me having tracking for every package I receive witch is not always the case.This significant delay in receiving mail has often caused significant damage such as it taking over a mouth for me to get a box of fruit witch spilled and not receiving critical search and rescue equipment in time for a training. I don't know exactly how there system is suppose to get the packages in to it, weather a delivery person is suppose to log the packages witch if it is the case should be spelled out in contracts with the delivery company's. Or if there employees is suppose to log the packages but either way that work is not happening and they either have to go after there partner to make it happen or fix there internal system that does the sorting. I can accept an odd mistake but this is consistent.They need to fix this because this amount of delay amounts to mail tampering witch is a federal felony.Business Response
