Worst IT and customer service and incompetent company
3 texts to say come and collect. Not at depot. Total drive time 3 by 2 hour return trips. Then told could collect from toll direct. Drive time 3 hours. Drove to toll only to be told can not be realeased to third party. Time on hold on phone 4 hours. Should have driven to Melbourne to pick it up myself. Still haven’t received goods at time of writing. The company tells you anything to hang up. When I said I will stay on the line until they ring toll and run a tracking search was told not possible. Stay away from this company that uses the cheapest possible contractors as if anything goes wrong you will not get a straight answer.

Terrible
RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Unprofessional company, after delivery extra charges are invoiced with no communication. Charges are discretionary by the couriers. Dimensions and weights supplied at the time of booking, after delivery then receive a bill for additional heavy weight charges. Spoke to accounts, confirm did not need to pay the additional invoice. Then receive a final demand notice with threats of lodging with a credit agency. Spoke to accounts again, told me to take it up with my customer and I was the one that booked the freight incorrectly as it was a residential address, even though the customer confirmed its a business address.

Bad customer service
Package is 3 days late and counting ! Tracking service is never updated , and staff don’t want to help when I call I am just told to check the tracking advice that had never been updated since the job was booked
Hi Alan, I'm sorry to hear your item is 3 days passed the ETA. I will give you a call to discuss, but as an FYI there have been major road closures and rail damage on the line that takes freight from...
Read more the Eastern states to SA & WA caused by the storms a few weeks ago. The rail line has only just opened up again and there is a backlog of freight for the carriers to work through and this is likely why your item has not yet been received. Best Regards Jane- 2 reviews

Insists on passing the blame onto everyone else
I purchased a piece of furniture that required a skid 3 weeks ago to be delivered to the nearest depot within 5 working days. $150 with $12 insurance for a 270Km drive seemed great. Until my piece of furniture was lost in transit.
Big Post have used every excuse under the sun to blame my supplier (not their fault) blame the sub contractor TOLL IPEC and take no responsibility.
I’ve asked for remuneration based upon the Freight Warranty purchased. Answer NO.
I’ve asked to have that item returned to the store (if they ever find it) so I can pick...
Hello Bazz, I'm sorry to hear you have had issues with this delivery. Thank you for including your Big Post job number, I will look into what is happening and will give you a call.
Thank you.
Jane

Nothing good to say after that experience
My parcels were dropped off by TNT on the 5th January. This same week I dropped in and asked if Big Post had received them, to be told they're not there yet. I chased these parcels 2 more times, once by phone, then another visit. I ended up dropping in again (12th) because TNT (NOT TOLL) had already delivered it to these guys on the 5th. After a bunch of confusion, it was discovered that my parcels may have come after hours, and not been "checked in" to the system. Apparently this happens more often than you would expect, and the employees resp...
Read moreonsible have been spoken to about this before, yet they still do it. So let me get this right, it arrives on the 5th after hours. It's accepted, but then left sitting there for 7 days, until I come looking for it??? Nobody noticed 3 LARGE boxes sitting there for a week? Weird. Anyway, when I finally collect my missing packages, the guy tells me someone there changed the con note number on the boxes. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT??? In the end, I've been given different reasons for why my parcels were "invisible". Anyway, I would not trust these guys to organise a large drinking session in a brewery, if you catch my drift.Hello Shaun, I'm sorry to hear there has been confusion with your delivery. Can you please provide the Big Post job reference so that I can look into what has happened?
Thank you

Complete Disappointment
Signed up to Big Post as a business owner looking for a service that would take the hassle out of us having to deal with multiple freight companies. They promised account managers who would look after that for us. Great, or so we thought!
Sounds good in theory until something goes wrong. They lost a valuable shipment, we had to follow them up daily for updates - no communication. Told us the shipment was lost and there was nothing they could do. So I rang the courier myself and after a few phone calls the shipment was located and returned to us...
Tiana I am so sorry to hear what has happened with this consignment. I would like to look into this further to see where we may have gone wrong in handling this for you, can you provide your Big Post ...

Horrible company. Every time we sent items with them, they would charge extra. They have no customer service.
Packages arrived brocken and big post always added charges. Their customer service is shocking. They refuse to help resolve any issues. Quick to take your money though. Very disappointed in the whole experience.
Hi Elliot, I am so sorry to hear you have had issues with your bookings. Can you please provide me with a BP number or Connote number so I can investigate the issue?

Apparently its okay to be 6 days late.
Package was 6 days late from expected delivery date. Tracking information was incorrect entire time.
Had no communication from Bigpost. Every time I made contact I was giving different excuse from the truck broke down to traffic, etc.
Then told I would have to pay more money for an earlier delivery when package was already 6 days late.
No offer of a discount or compensation.
Impossible to rely on Bigpost anymore.
Hi Sam, I'm so sorry to hear you had an issue with your delivery. I have looked into your booking and would like to give you a call to discuss if you have some time?

Really Poor Service, Hidden Fees Everywhere
Really terrible service, hidden fees added on everywhere, for residential pick up, for check weight, for weekly admin which doesn't seem to exist, no logic, like speaking with a child or to a brick wall. Would not recommend these guys if you're requiring regular freight needs, the invoicing and charges are completely inconsistent and problem solving really poor. Try Sendle, E-Go or just Australia Post as worthy alternatives or some of the other commercial agents if you run a business.
Hi Alvin, I'm devastated to read your review especially as you have been a customer since 2015. We will be in touch with you urgently.
Lol, you didn't seem 'devastated' when you refused to correct or even properly explain all of the incorrect charges as some items had tripled in price a month after sending them, could have at least s...
Read moreaid that charges are totally unpredictable and we have no control over them because we're just slaves to tnt. Instead you simply created a new rule on the spot that ALL commercial deliveries must have 'unload facilities'. Then without warning or any notice you simply told us 'your account has been closed, please forward payment for outstanding invoices'. You're worse than Hunter Express!!!!!Find out how Big Post compares to other Couriers

Door turned up damaged and broken glass.
Product turned up damaged. Sender was forced to refund part of the purchase so I could have it repaired. Very disappointing for both sender and reciever. Told would have to jump through hoops to get product replaced and was on a tight time frame. Door was almost one week late.
Hi Michael, I'm so sorry to hear the carrier damaged your freight, there's nothing worse. I'll give you a call to discuss the issue.

Can anyone help me with
Big Post Job Number: BP1197439
Carrier Connote: BSX166751. I’m waiting delivery of 20metres of timber from Timber & Rose Melbourne, parcel length 3100mm to a Sydney suburb. Original ETA 1 April 2022. Still hasn’t arrived - now 9 April. Called BigPost twice told the first time that it was in depot in Sydney, that it was 3100 parcel so needs a special vehicle and may need vehicle with crane!! Really? BigPost doesn’t have on hand a suitable vehicle for a parcel of timber boards 3100mm long?? Window of opportunity to have job done by current contractor closing fast.
