No it is not the right direction to go. Read the stories in this sub forum and then check back here for a fuller reply tomorrow -
Its fine, it just so happened that they're happy wit h me paying it off at a realistic level. I think that he landlady went little too far, but things have been smoothed over. Thanks for the help. -
Thanks for the respond. Long story short, the reason I am pursuing Packlink because I am a seller on Ebay. The courier is myHermes. The parcel is lost and the postage purchased through Packlink. It was a UK to UK shipment so I didn't need to declare value of the item when I was purchasing the postage on Packlink. The item is not extremely valuable, that is just a charger for electric toothbrush and it is insured with max pay out of £25. I raised a claim on Packlink and they refused for the reason - I did not contact them within 30 days of the posting date. Packlink did admit that the parcel is lost. I still haven't started to contact myHermes yet. However I am disgusted by Packlink customer service. I am planning to first, dispute the shipping fee through Paypal, then escalate this matter to myHermes, and if necessary, to small claim. Do you that this is the right direction to go? Thanks! -
so this is the same issue? dx -

As you say, Packlink is in Spain. Much easier to attack the courier. Please will you lay out your story. Tell us what it was you sent – whether it was lost or damaged – whether you declared the value correctly and which courier undertook the delivery. Read all the stories in this sub- forum – especially the ones relating to Hermes. You will see that we always win

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
