Where is a negative star when you need one because Parcels Express deserves it?
First, let me say Phyllis likes to claim the police have been called and a report filed when she responds to negative reviews; that never happened in my encounter. Second, Phyllis tried to say I was belligerent and cursing at her when she initially responded to my BBB complaint but when that story didn't work she finally said I was in a scheme with a former employee because the employee asked me to give her free food for free services but I never received any free services. The only business transaction I did with Parcels Express and its employees was to buy a mailbox which was paid for with my credit card. The former employee never asked me for food for free services; I offered to give the former employee some food I took from my home that I wasn't planning on using. Anyone who knows me knows I give away food, clothes and other items regularly. Since Phyllis claims she has a video of me participating in a scheme with this former employee than it would seem she would have a video of me cursing at her or being belligerent. Unfortunately, Phyllis cannot provide any such videos because these claims are not true.
I recommend everyone go to the BBB's website and write a customer review DO NOT file a complaint. A complaint is not seen by others and the BBB tries to work as a mediator between the two parties. This was futile in my case since Phyllis has not yet returned my money for renting a box. She also has not returned my mail as of 6-2-15 back to the companies that have sent them, specifically some checks that had to have a stop payment put on them. Please note, Parcels Express is NOT accredited by the BBB and the A+ rating you see is only based on the BBB's opinion of how the business is likely to interact with its customers.
Below is my un-customer like service with the owner Phyllis of Parcels Express:
I had purchased some items and used the companies tracking system to determine when the items were delivered to my private mailbox. I initially went to Parcels Express the weekend of March 7th to pick up my delivery but was informed by Phyllis that my item had not been delivered. I informed her that I had received tracking confirmation that it had been delivered earlier in the week. I left the business and waited a few days; on March 11th I called the business to see if my package had arrived. I was told that the owner of the private mailbox where I used to do business had dropped off a box (note they decided to close their business which is the only reason why I started doing business at Parcels Express). I stated to Phyllis I was sure that wasn't the delivery I was looking for. I knew it wasn't because I had updated my mailing address with the company I purchased the item from as well as PayPal in advance of placing an order. Phyllis' response was, "I don't have time to babysit you", and then she hung up the phone on me. On March 12th at 5:10 pm I went to pick up the box that was left for me by the owner I previously did business with. Phyllis told me I had two boxes, once I received my boxes I asked Phyllis about a text message I had received on February 21st from her business. The text stated I had been signed up for mail and package notification via text. Phyllis said, "I've been busy. I don't have time to send you text or babysit you. You rented a box and that's all you get. If you want my time, that will costs you and my time is worth $25/hour." I responded, "All I need you to do is what you told me you would do and that is to send me a text. I don't need you to babysit me; I'm a grown woman probably your age." She said as she walked away, "I'm busy I don't have time for you (something inaudible) if you give me shit I will (inaudible again)." I responded, "What did you say?" Phyllis responded, "I said, don't give me shit because I don't eat shit. If you give me shit I will give it back to you." I responded, "Is that how you talk to your customers?" She kept saying the phrase and told me told me I better apologize to her. I told her she should be apologizing to me after that cursing. She continued to repeat the phrase, "Don't give me shit because I don't eat shit. If you give me shit I will give it back to you. If you don't apologize to me, I'm going to cancel your box and write on all your mail 'return to sender'." I told her she could refund my money and she told me I wasn't going to get a refund to read my contract than she picked up her cell phone and said, "I need you to come over because that ass Judith is here." I was like OMG, walked out of the business and when I got in my car I called the BBB at 815-963-2222 around 5:21 pm. read more
