CAN I ALSO RECEIVE A LETTER AT MY SELECTED PARCELLY LOCATION?

Sorry, you can't. Parcelly is designed for parcels - we will not accept letters or envelopes. 

Please refer to Parcelly's Terms and conditions for more details.

HOW CAN I BOOK A COMBINED ONLINE ORDER THAT WILL ARRIVE IN SEPARATE DELIVERIES?

Every Parcelly ID is unique and only valid for one single parcel unless you have a subscription in which case your Parcelly ID applies to all parcels permitted under that subscription.
If your online order is to be delivered in several separate parcels, you will have to complete the equivalent number of Bookings via your Parcelly app.

Remember to specify all respective Parcelly ID’s in the address field of your online shopping form one after the other (as in our booking example below).

Booking example:
a) Open your Parcelly app and make 3 Bookings, specifying each parcel separately (generating Parcelly ID 1, Parcelly ID 2 and Parcelly ID 3).
b) Go back to your Online shopping page and complete your check out by using the following format when providing the delivery address details:

Your First and Last name
Name of selected Parcelly Location
Parcelly ID 1, Parcelly ID 2, Parcelly ID 3
123 Parcelly Location street
Location city, postcode

By following the above Booking process you will be notified for each parcel separately as soon as they arrive at your selected Parcelly Location.

MY DELIVERY HAS BEEN SENT IN TWO SEPARATE PARCELS, WHY DO I NEED TWO UNIQUE PARCELLY ID’S TO COLLECT THIS BOOKING?

As you know, every Parcelly ID is unique and only valid for one single parcel, unless you have a subscription.
If your online order is to be delivered in several separate deliveries, you will have to complete the equivalent number of Bookings via your Parcelly app.
If your selected Parcelly location receives 2 parcels with the same Parcelly ID, we reserve the right to either arrange for one parcel to be returned to the Seller or Distributor at your expense or request that you generate an additional Booking of the same collection type for the second parcel before handing it out.

To avoid this problem, please refer to how to book a combined online order that will arrive in separate deliveries (see question 11).

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY PARCELLY ACCOUNT, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you cannot access your account for any reason and you need to reset your password, simply open your App and click “Forgot your password” by tapping the ‘Profile’ icon on the Menu bar and “Login”. If you have any other issues with your account please contact us and we will try and resolve them for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PARCEL IS LOST, DAMAGED OR STOLEN AT THE PARCELLY LOCATION?

Deliveries to Parcelly Locations are stored in pre-approved, secure storage areas at the Parcelly Location itself.

In the event that your parcel is lost, stolen or damaged by the Parcelly Location, we may be able to compensate you to the value of your article and a maximum value of £50.

If you have chosen to pay for additional compensation cover, you may qualify for compensation to the value of your article and a maximum value of £200.

Claims must be made within 28 days of your delivery date and include any photographs or packaging as evidence of the damage.

Please refer to Parcelly's Terms and conditions for more details.

HOW IS PARCELLY SUPPORTING TO REDUCE MY CARBON FOOTPRINT?

We care about climate change and donate 5% of each of your Bookings to Atmosfair. Atmosfair’s carbon offset projects reduce CO2 emissions and support sustainable development by transferring technology to reduce the carbon footprint and combatting climate change to help reduce the actual source of CO2.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY EMAIL OR PUSH NOTIFICATIONS FROM PARCELLY FOR MY BOOKING, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I CANNOT FIND MY BOOKING AND/OR PARCELLY ID IN THE ‘MY BOOKINGS’ SECTION?

WHAT HAPPENS IF JUNK MAIL IN MY NAME IS SENT TO A PARCELLY LOCATION?

Please refer to Parcelly's Terms and conditions for more details.

WHY HAVE I BEEN CHARGED DURING MY SUBSCRIPTION TRIAL PERIOD?

No worries, you do not have been charged. Your first month of subscription is entirely for free, however, our payment provider has pre-authorised your card for authentication purposes. Pre-authorisation allows us to confirm that your card is valid and hasn’t been lost or stolen. This can appear as a temporary reduction in your balance, but it is not an actual charge and will be released within 24 hours.
