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.

Not worth paying for the 'service', can't sign on delivery
We employ Big Post as it was sold to us - to deal with couriers so we don't have to call seperate companies and chase parcels when our customers ring saying they haven't turned up on multiple occasions.
They don't seem to hold any more weight with couriers than we would just dealing with them ordinarily, we will handle our own freight from now on.
There is also no option to not 'leave safe' no matter the size of the parcel, so when couriers claim they have delivered and they clearly haven't, we can't prove they've just stolen the parcel as th...
Read moreey don't require a signature. Very disappointed, they don't take responsibility and we will be cancelling our account. UPDATE: Reetu from customer service just contacted us to say the parcel has been lost (stolen).The reviewer stated that an incentive was offered for this review

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?
Regards,
Jane

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!!!!!- Verified
Big Post helped a lot
We using BIG POST and Northline frequent- always a no fuzz and easy transaction. When we had lately trouble and Northline was unable to collect on booked pick up date, staff from Big Post followed up and chased down carrier to get the large freight picked up soonish after. Would use them again- good communication and the really care.
The Big Post team really pride ourselves on the customer service we provide, and Alice and Stefan were so pleased they could sort out the pick up issue for you. Thank you for taking the time to post y...

Worst ever
I will not recommend this company. Not professional at all. Claiming not pickup from private address, and want to cancel my job, while courier company turn up and collected the job 5 minutes after they called me. Yet, they use TNT. Claiming TNT doesn't not pick up from private address. I use Transdirect, and they are able to organize the pick up with TNT, how funny is that. Don't use Big Post!!!
We are so sorry to hear you have had a negative experience with Big Post. It sounds to me like there has been some miscommunication/misunderstanding on our behalf. If it is ok with you I would like t...

You can't trust the Quoting System or that they will actually complete the jobs
I started using the system to quote on some of my projects as I thought the online experience seemed good. So I used this for a few jobs for quoting but lucky that only 3 had actually gone through on my end so losses were minimised.
First Job;
- Quoted $770+gst for delivery of 7mx2.2mx.3m 1300kg to Paget depot from us in Carole Park.
- Job was booked in, and I on-charged that to customer which is our usual system.
- Driver shows up for pickup, Big post says they can't do 7m when Job was already booked. They said it would be an extra $3500!!....
Hi Marsh, I'm so sorry to read of your experience, thanks for your feedback, I'll give you a call on your mobile. Regards, David.

Great service - Simone
Delayed delivery of consignment on Northline. Fantastic service from Simone, with keeping us in the loop and pushing for delivery on her end where possible. Quick replies and honest & open feedback! One of the easier and more positive experiences we have had with freight forwarders :)
Hi Katrina, thanks for your kind words. We all know that things don't always go perfectly when shipping items across the country, but I'm glad you know that we are always here to help and support you ...

I was approached by [Name Removed] from bigpost whilst using others at the time. They found me. I didn’t find them. I thought I would give bigpost a try. I’ve used bigpost for over 4 years. I will not be using bigpost anymore, not by choice but simply because they don’t want my business. It’s fine because it looks like the competitors win more of my business. I will carry on using Temando , transdirect, interparcel, e-go, smartsend just to name a few who have been great with us. E-go / Hunter also offers depot to depot.

Questions & Answers
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.
