Service "Parcel": reviews. "Parcel": customer and staff feedback about the site

It's no secret that the market in the US is filled with better quality and quite often cheap things. It's about brands that are local there. Of course, in the domestic market they can only be purchased with a large wrap. Thanks to the possibilities of the Internet, only one solution can be called reasonable: to order the liked goods directly in American online stores. But on your way you can meet a number of problems.

Difficulties

Doing an order from a country located on the other side of the ocean is not so simple. First of all, there can be a problem of a language barrier - the Russian simply will not understand in details of the goods offered to him. Again, you need to be able to negotiate with an American counterpart, find out from the seller some nuances. There are several options, but in general the problem can be solved: you can find an interpreter, ask an English-speaking friend, or at least look for what you are required to do with Google. And in general, it is not so difficult to overcome the language barrier.

Another problem is payment. Americans do not work with such payment systems as Webmoney, Qiwi or Yandex.Money - they simply do not know about their existence. In the West, the most common is PayPal. Fortunately, it is in Russia - and if you want to order a parcel, say, from "Amazon" or eBay, you will need to create an account in this system. In the future, paying with the same Webmoney, for example, you have to transfer funds to "PayPal". That is, let it be with less convenience, but the problem is still solved.

The third, the greatest difficulty among those described above, is delivery. Especially this applies to stores that do not ship across the ocean. Such a dilemma without options makes it necessary to contact intermediaries.

Delivery services

In the Internet business there was a whole segment aimed at delivering goods from abroad. It operates companies that are intermediaries between the customer (physically located in the country where the delivery is not carried out) and the seller working in the territory of America.

Such services exist for quite a long time, and thanks to them they manage to establish communication between the store located in the States and the buyer living in the Russian Federation. Of course, such intermediary functions are performed for a reason - the buyer must pay a certain commission for the work done. This is the model of the business in question.

There are a lot of such services. In this article, we'll talk about one thing - this is the site of "Bandera". The comments left on him indicate that the project helps many people from the RF get what they want. Today we will look at how this service functions, what features of its activities can be distinguished, what services it provides. In the end, the appropriate conclusions will be drawn about how the "Bandera" works (from Qwintry). The testimonies indicate that this is a portal where information on services and company data are posted. About him and talk.

The services

To begin with, we will more accurately describe what the company described by us is doing. Already on its one name it is possible to tell with confidence, that it is a question of transport-logistical firm. Since its description contains information about orders from the US, we can conclude that the company carries out its activities, which is based on the delivery of parcels from the States to Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan.

However, this is not the entire list of what this service can be useful for. We expand the circle of information about what the "Banderolka" has and what its employees are doing.

Sending

First of all, perhaps the most valuable service can be called the opportunity to send goods that arrived at their warehouse. It looks something like this: when buying at Amazon, you can specify the mail contacts that Banderolka has: customer reviews also confirm that everything begins exactly with this - an indication of where the goods will be sent. To do this, your personal office will contain information about the separation of mail, the street and the city where their warehouse is located.

At the time of writing the article on the site "Banderoloka" (reviews can also confirm), it was indicated that their warehouse is located in Delaware. This means that when you make an order, you just have to specify this address - and the thing you bought will arrive there, where it will be accepted and accurately executed.

Reception

If the goods arrived at the address of the warehouse of the service, it must be accepted. This function is performed by employees of "Bandera". The reviews note that this service is free and does not require any special permits or other securities. Everything is extremely simple - employees make a free admission.

In addition to physical placement in specially selected premises, those who work in the service also contribute parcels to the database. This allows you to control the procedure for each of them.

Storage

The next stage of delivery of products from "Amazon", eBay and other trading platforms is the saving of goods, its storage in a warehouse. It is carried out free of charge (if the period of the goods in the warehouse does not exceed 45 days) or for a fee - for $ 0.5 per day.

Within this period, the buyer must decide what he wants to do with the goods. By this it is meant mainly that a person will indicate: a thing needs to be sent to some address. Implied will be his location in his native country - Russia, Belarus, Ukraine or Kazakhstan, where the "Bandera" operates. Customer testimonials show that after specifying the address to the one who made the order, it remains only to wait for the parcel, which will, depending on the delivery service, go from 10 to 40 days.

Other

Since a person who makes an order from the United States, and is physically located, say, in Russia, can not independently check the quality of the parcel, the reliability of its packaging - all this is also included in the category of additional services from intermediary companies. For example, it is the unpacking / packaging of goods, weighing, the combination of different parcels. Thus, the intermediary of "Banderolok", the reviews we are interested in first of all, is a kind of complex solution for the delivery of goods. With his help (and the hands of his specialists), you can perform all the same actions that you would like to make yourself, having received the goods at home.

Conditions

Of course, there are a number of restrictions that need to be taken into account if you want to make a purchase in the US and safely accept it. First of all, they concern forbidden categories of goods (for which there is a whole list). This, for example, weapons or flammable items.

In addition, there are also limitations on the dimensions, as well as the weight of the products. In particular, for each of the delivery services with which the "Banderolka" service operates (the reviews are mentioned by two companies - USPS Express and Priority), there are conditions. For example, this restriction on the cost of the shipment is 2500 dollars. More detailed information about them you will see the data on the ordering page of the goods, it is not wise to list them here, as such rules can easily change.

And of course, there are some nuances in working with the service itself sending goods from the US. Here, for example, there is a rule according to which the parcel can be stored in the warehouse for not more than 100 days. Obviously, after the expiration of this period, the service will utilize the thing.

Price list

How much does the service charge for their intermediary services? You can find out about this by reading the special page "Tariffs". Here, in more detail, various payment options are indicated, for example: packing (3-8 dollars), special actions with the goods (0-15 $), insurance (3-100 $). In this case, as the reviews say, "Bandera" is the recipient of these funds.

Another issue is how much will the delivery cost (from the "Banderholki" warehouse to the recipient country of the parcel). You can calculate it using an online calculator placed on the company's website. We can say this: a small cargo up to 1 kg can be delivered for 50-60 dollars. Most often this category includes the most ordered goods: headphones, players, smartphones and so on.

Discounts

In order to ensure that the price of the company's services does not hit the client's wallet so badly, as noted by the reviews, "Bandera" suggests using a system of discounts. It is organized by American companies that cooperate with online stores, attracting customers for them. One of these is the resource mr.Rebates, it is recommended to interact with it in the instructions on the "Banderoles" portal.

Here are details about where to go, where to register and what to click in order to get your discount. This is not only convenient, but also very profitable - after all, using free checks received by mail (again, at the address of the service described by us), you can save 10, 20, 30 or more percent of the value of the thing.

In addition, there is also the opportunity to participate in closed sales and various discount clubs, which will give an opportunity to save even more. The main thing - do not be shy, learn something new and try to use it with benefit for yourself.

Help

By the way, the information support, as the reviews say, "Bandera" carries out with a bang. Here you will find a huge number of articles, educational materials and interesting stories about how you can pay less, and get more in those or other stores. In addition, here are given tips on how to choose the item you are interested in, how to make an order and what to expect after making a payment. All this information really enlightens and makes the client more aware of the procedure for making online purchases on foreign portals.

In addition, of course, do not forget about the support service! She can ask questions and wait for specific answers that will help you solve the problem that interests you in the shortest possible time.

Reviews about the service

Of course, in the process of writing the article, we turned to the recommendations left by those who already have experience working with the intermediary service. In them, of course, you can find the most useful information about how this site works, how you can order products with it, what you should pay attention to.

Most of the submitted reviews can be attributed to positive - people write that they are satisfied with the speed of processing the order, the quality of its delivery, the service, and the level of the support service. Some also note the service from a positive point of view due to the low maintenance prices and the mass of useful materials that can be found on the company's website.

Nevertheless, there are also negative reviews about the site of "Bandera". Their authors claim that, for example, the service forces you to take photos with the received goods and an inscription with the address of their portal (for advertising purposes on their website). Other users who remain dissatisfied with the site's service note that they did not like the speed of delivery (which took more than a month) or how long they ignored their requests by the support staff.

Thus, we can say that most of the comments still have a laudatory character, and only a few reviews, on the contrary, recommend not to contact the service.

Employee feedback

For a more objective picture of how this company works, we also wanted to find feedback on the employees of the "Banderolok" service. They would let us know how the service functions from within.

However, after a series of attempts to find out anything from the company's former or current employees, it was not possible. This shows, firstly, that the staff turnover is not so great that the comments of former employees could be seen on the network; And secondly, it showed that no high-profile scandals associated with working conditions or with non-payment of wages in the service did not happen. What a good sign for those who decide whether to start working with this firm or not.
