Verdict
Feedback regarding CouriersPlease is predominantly negative, with many customers expressing significant frustration over delayed shipments, missed deliveries, and communication challenges. While a small number of reviewers report positive experiences with specific drivers or straightforward interstate deliveries, the recurring concerns around tracking accuracy and customer service consistency heavily influence the overall sentiment. Consumers are advised to check shipping providers prior to purchase if delivery reliability is a priority.
Couriers,please? – Never an easy process with this company, constantly having to chase up late packages. I have an issue with the local delivery driver throwing and damaging packages, his reaction is to purposely deliver packages late. I've tested the theory and had one package addressed to a friend around the corner. Both packages were on the truck to be delivered… Read more
on the same day, the one to my friends house was and mine was marked delivery unsuccessful. He never attended my address.
I checked tracking to find the parcel was unable to be delivered. On calling their support, they told me the driver couldn't find my address, even though his GPS pointed him to another house ON MY STREET. My mailbox is clearly marked and positioned near the road, he had my address and baffingly couldn't find his way two houses down from where… Read more
his GPS directed him. They promised me a redelivery. We will see. If they can't get it right this time, I'll be informing the seller of my item for a refund as they clearly have chosen a dud delivery service.

Worst couriers ever, days late. Driver lies about delivering and gone to wrong address, I waste a day off work waiting for a birthday present that is late. If I could give zero stars I would. Avoid at all costs Show details

Impossible to arrange to get my parcel from a Collection Point as links don't work and no human on phone – Terrible service. Unable to speak to a human about getting a parcel from a Collection Point.

house has a digital gate entry due to thefts from my property. I'll never order from Myer again if it's a Market Place partner product which uses Courier Please for deliveries. In the past they've used Australia Post and my parcels have gone to Post Office. Couriers Please sent a link but it didn't work. When I phoned the number they provided in order to arrange to get my parcel, I was hung up on twice. Tracking information is not up to date. In desperation I used another link to request a redelivery. Finally I was told that delivery was coming the next day. I waited home all day. The gate was left unlocked, open and blowing in the wind. My doorbell is clearly visible. I left instructions of where to leave parcel if by some chance I happened to be in the shower or back yard when the doorbell rang. 5pm I sent an email asking where it was. A photo was sent to me of MY NEIGHBOUR'S DOORSTEP where my parcel had been delivered. Fortunately she is honest and when I went there this morning, she gave me my parcel. Took 3 weeks since ordering to get it. I've had other bad experiences when other companies have used this courier. Take my advice, vendors, NEVER USE THIS COURIER DELIVERY SERVICE
Follow-up · Every delivery I've had from Couriers Please has been a disaster. I've had parcels delivered to incorrect address, thrown over my front fence, damaged items, left in the rain, rather than under front porch. It's impossible to talk to a human when I've called the phone number provided. This is a terrible delivery service. Other people I know have shared similar experiences.

My fourth delivery by Couriers Please in three weeks. Every time they have not delivered the item, instead taking it to a collection point in another suburb. They email to say they missed me and leaving the parcel was unsafe, but each time I've been… Read more
home and each time I've received deliveries from other services. I complained to Couriers Please, they ignored me and gaslit me. Two weeks later they were still "investigating" with clearly no intention of doing anything to change. The store worker said everyone complains of the same thing. A farce of a business with no respect for customers. If you are a business reading this I urge you to drop Couriers Please.
Follow-up · I had a fifth failed delivery. I purchased an item through Kmart Marketplace not thinking it was Couriers Please. As soon as I found out it was, I contacted Kmart Marketplace to explain the issue of the 4 failed deliveries and Couriers Please empty complaints responses. They contacted CP but CP had already "collected" the item. Like clockwork, CP… Read more

I never usually write reviews but I feel on this occasion I need to. In amongst all this negativity I want to share my positive experience. I ordered a large rug to be delivered by Couriers Please. Tracking was updated so I knew where it was every step of the way. It arrived very quickly and the driver was excellent. Well done Couriers Please. Show details · 1
I recently changed by business delivery service over to Couriers Please and cannot rate them highly enough. From generating con notes to reporting on deliveries the process is seamless. My interstate delivery times have reduced significantly. Customer service is also a pleasure todeal with. Show details · 1
I received a large parcel yesterday, a lovely gentleman delivered it ,he was so obliging he helped us get it up the 14 stairs ,which was lovely thank you. Delivery was quick.

I do my absolute best to avoid this company. If a company charges more to deliver by Australia Post or sells through Amazon opt for that option. I will no longer purchase an item through Ebay from America due to contracts with this service, too many missing or delayed delivery items & items dropped off at delivery hubs for collection due to 'fake attempted delivery attempts' Show details

If you are buying from a company that uses CouriersPlease, do not go ahead with the sale. They are useless, apparently attempted delivery seems to be their favorite line, even if it was 600kms away. $350 parcel lost and they have refused to search for it. There have been multiple emails send back and forth with the same response from them "it's… Read more

I’v tried contacting them in regards to my order multiple times and keep getting generic answers stating “your item is due to be delivered on the 28th of August” which is two weeks AFTER It is meant to be delivered. My parcel hasn’t been scanned since they picked it up a week ago and nobody can tell me where my parcel is . I was then told by… Read more
someone that my parcel should arrive in three business days and to get in contact if it hasn’t , which I HAVE as it’s been more than five business days , but all they can tell me is the new expected date , even though I paid express & my parcel is actually missing because nobody can tell me where it is or track it down. Absolutely useless . I’ve since raised a dispute with my bank and contacted the company that used them to send the parcel and they’ll no longer be using their services as this has happened on multiple occasions now apparently. I just want my parcel .

Thanks April. With all due respect, saying it didn't meet our expectations is absurd and insulting. The only thing a courier has to do is deliver to the correct address. That's our expectation, what else could it be? Do you want us to be happy if you deliver somewhere else in the same suburb? And your guy couldn't tell the difference between 22… Read more
and 20, next to each other on the same small street. In short, your company completely stuffed up and we sincerely hope we don't need your services again. In 5 years living here you are responsible for the first parcel to not get here. Congratulations.

Leaving one star because I can’t leave less. Another disgraceful delivery. Driver ran up the path and threw my parcel from about 6 foot away up the steps bouncing before it hit a pot plant. Absolutely disgraceful, but as expected from drivers that don’t give a damn about what they are delivering, let alone following any delivery instructions. Show details

I waited for 2 day without going out from home for this important parcel.

Blatantly lying and no communication whatsoever.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with CouriersPlease has been absolutely appalling. My parcel was marked as “Unable to deliver – no one home. Book a redelivery.” The problem with that excuse? I WAS HOME. Not only was I home, I was literally out the front of my house vacuuming my car during the exact timeframe the delivery was… Read more
supposedly attempted.
The driver didn't knock. Didn't call. Didn't leave a card. And, most importantly, the driver didn't even come down my street.
I immediately called CouriersPlease after receiving the notification and requested a redelivery. You would think that would be enough to get the parcel moving, but apparently not.
Six days later, I am STILL waiting for my parcel.
So to summarise: a delivery was supposedly attempted when I was clearly home and outside, the driver apparently couldn't even be bothered coming down my street, the delivery was falsely marked as “no one home”, I immediately contacted the company to organise a redelivery, and six days later I still don't have my parcel.
This isn't a minor inconvenience. People order items because they actually need them, and we shouldn't have to waste our time chasing a courier because they couldn't be bothered to make a genuine delivery attempt.
I would strongly advise against using CouriersPlease. I certainly won't be purchasing from businesses that use them in future. If I see CouriersPlease listed as the delivery option, I'll take my business elsewhere.
Absolutely unacceptable service from start to finish.

We were expecting a parcel with Couriers Please today and happened to be sitting in our lounge and saw the Van pull up and Driver walk around to side. He then walked around other side and drove off. We went outside and saw that he had left the parcel which was quite big but soft sitting in our letterbox with lid partly holding it down. We… Read more
cannot understand why he didn't bring it to the front door where he would have found us home OR if we hadn't been home he could have left parcel at the front door as would have been very acceptable. Leaving it on the top of our letterbox it was very open to being taken by a passerby. We found this very surprising.

Involved in organised crime. They will take all the parcels to a collection point (local newsagent or similar). They do not attempt the delivery. They say "undeliverable" which is untrue. Then - that same night/early next morning, they send a group of youths to break into the parcel collection point and steal all the parcels. All on camera. This… Read more

I took leave and called back to request delivery today. No, it wasn't delivered. I lost pay to just stay home for the delivery. It still wouldn't deliver. Worst experience ever. I'll boycott any individual or business that uses Couriersplease from now on

Buyer Beware! This company deserves zero stars, not one. I'm honestly not sure how they're still in business. They lost two of my packages this year worth around $150. While the value isn't huge, it's the principle that matters. To make matters worse, they provided incorrect tracking information and falsely marked the parcels as "Delivered" when… Read more
packages were never received. Customer service is virtually non-existent. It's incredibly frustrating trying to get any assistance or accountability. I would strongly recommend avoiding this company if you value reliable delivery and honest tracking information.

Couriers please used to be the good one in my area but over the last 12 months, they have rapidly gone downhill! Orders don’t arrive, sit untouched in their warehouse until you contact them after more than a week to follow up and then it magically starts moving. The response from them is as if it was moving all along and they only respond to you… Read more
after it’s been delivered. I’ve now waited 8 days for a parcel to travel less than 5km!!
On top of this, over the last 6 months, I’ve had 2 of their couriers enter my home. Just opening the door and walking in. It is very clearly a residential house and when screamed at to get out, they say they thought it was a business. I’ll be asking companies I purchase from in the future to send via Aramex or AusPost.

Lost $500 worth of birthday present for my son. Told me they use a third-party delivery agent but won't tell me who for privacy reasons.

Still don't know where they delivered my package!! Signed for by someone who was not me but they seemed confident they had met their obligations. Wait on hold for over 30 mins to be told 2-3 days to follow up with local delivery agent ... same message via email and via online chat. Now onto my 3rd round of 2-3 days to follow up!! Run, don't walk - don't even know how they are still in business!!! Show details
