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

There is an error in their system. They "delivered" a package to a locker but when I accessed it the locker was empty. This package along with other packages that have been delivered to these lockers have been lost. Not only do I not have these packages and am out the cost of them, they are also charging me a daily fee for not picking up a package that isn't there. They have not responded to my or my complexes emailsBusiness response

For over two weeks Parcel Pending has had issues. On 4/12/2024 it went down at my apartment complex. They took the packages out but never reset the codes. For over two weeks I kept receiving a code reminder to pick up a package that I had already retrieved. Recently I had a package from Makesy delivered to my complex on 4/19/2024; however someone else picked up my package based off of old codes. I have contacted PP but I have yet to have any results. The apartment complex stated they have contacted PP but no results. I have contacted PP several times . They have only sent ONE email to the person. No one seem to take this as important even though this is the results of their error. I would like someone to be proactive in contacting the person who has my package.Business response

Parcel Pending keeps billing me for packages I have already picked up. On my latest package, they claimed that they sent me 3 notifications regarding this package. 2 on the day it was delivered and one again 3 days later. This is false. I received 1 notification the day it arrived and I picked the package up. I believe they are creating false information in order to collect fees from customers. I work and live at the same property, so I ALWAYS pick ** my packages in a timely manner. I have been on hold for customer service for over 30 minutes TWICE. They have no support for customers.Business response
