I have been emailing you since yesterday and all I get is an automatic message that someone will reach out to me but no one’s reaching out!
The parcel that my partner should receive in the Netherlands is now being sent back to Paris! I have tried contacting you so this will be prevented but your customer service works too slow! Now 18 Euros was wasted because the package just made a detour in the Netherlands and will be sent back to Paris!
