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 is almost as bad as Aramex. It's impossible to speak to someone. I'm waiting on a valuable parcel that was due to be delivered yesterday. Still hasn't been delivered. Currently waiting on the phone: "Your position on the queue is... 30!!!" Don't ever use this rubbish courier. Show details
Frustrating when parcel tracking is not up to date. Contacted the customer service line to be connected to a gentleman that was very hard to understand. It sounded like the call center is not in Australia and when I was put on hold it sounded like an argument in another language. Still have no idea if my parcel is ever going to arrive. Call center staff need to be able to speak fluent english when dealing with customers.
Parcel sent from Melb to Gold Coast 13 Oct. Still not delivered 27 Oct. They are blaming weather events that happened this week. Absolutely shameful conduct businesses really need to stop using this disgraceful courier service. Show details

I ordered a parcel from bunnings marketplace. I thought it would arrive fine and good. But they used Couriers Please, it's the worst delivery company ever. They have not updated where my parcel is in nine days. I reached out to them via email they replied said they would look into it then now they're closing the case. I replied to their email… Read more · 1
saying i wish to continue with the investigation but have not gotten an email back or anything. I will say that the person who replied to my email first was helpful but nothing has since been said to me. Do not use or buy anything that uses this Courier. UPDATE: I spoke to soon and they did deliver it today with no issues after i had contacted them i'm not sure if that is a coincidence. The support team is actually very nice and i recomend contacting them if you're worried about your parcel being lost or not getting delivered on time.
CouriersPlease do not show any care when handling customers' packages. I had an item (a tube of shaving cream) delivered today and the attached picture shows exactly how it arrived. The delivery timeframe was good, but I would have preferred to wait a little longer and receive the item in better condition. Show details

The label says Fragile and Live Plants. So the driver left them by the front gate, in full view of a main road, in full sun. ie no attempt was made to actually deliver to the house, no attempt was made to deliver them to a secure location, no attempt was made to deliver them to a safe location, no attempt was made to keep them safe.

I am not happy with the delivery from Courier's Please as they left my package on top of the community mail boxes that are visible to any passers-by. I have previously had frequent delivery issues with this business in the past. Attached is a photo that a neighbour shared with me and kindly collected and delivered to my house like Couriers Please should have done in the first place. Show details

Delivered to the complete wrong address. I live at 1a and this was delivered to a #31. I walked to #31 on my street and that's not the house in the image, so not only have they delivered to the wrong number but also the wrong street. The links on the email to 'report item not received' don't work and no contact details available... Show details

CourierMy4ss Oh CourierPlease, what a joke you’ve become, A circus of excuses, a delivery left undone. Your driver — that *mysterious phantom of dodginess* — Claims “unsafe to leave the parcel,” with bold thoughtlessness. Yet somehow, magically, the parcel appears dumped at the local shop, as if the “unsafe place” was my doorstep — … Read more
but not the random counter where strangers wander nonstop.
This isn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third — it’s the same tired story, repeated word for word. A loop of laziness, a cycle of deceit, a courier service that can’t deliver even when the street is empty and neat.
So here I stand, again, forced to pick up what *you* refused to deliver, wondering how a company can fail with such consistent vigour.
CourierPlease? No — **CourierMy4ss** fits better, a name worthy of a service that can’t handle a feather.
And truly, sincerely, from the depths of my frustration’s ocean — I hope this dodgy operation finally collapses from its own motion.

Website stated that my package was 'Unable to be delivered, rescheduling for next business day'. Which is absolutely false - the driver clearly didn't even bother to try, because I have a concierge sitting in my apartment's office from 6am-midnight. Unfortunately, they once agian "attempted delivery", however this time I was home for lunch and… Read more
not only did they not ring to even check whether I was home, they also didn't drop the package off at the concierge or even in the mail room.
What's more, the driver left an incoherent note on the last attempt, 'Done recepitim'. What an absolute joke these people are; what are any of you even good for?

If you can find the support phone no which is not on the website the call staff are pleasant and try to help but there is not. much they can do. And maybe some drivers are good. But after many conversations it seems that the job gets allocated to a contract driver and there is no guarantee they will collect the package, no feedback from the driver… Read more
re when or if they are coming, so you wait by the door for 24 hours and hope. if they happen not to come you can ask for the pick up to be rescheduled and go on the merry go round again. I have been officially told there is no guarantee of pick up and if it does not happen you can ask for a refund. . they cannot tell you if your job is on a drivers run or not... the drivers will not respond to the support staff and so on.. suggest dont bother.

CouriersPlease is utterly incompetent. They have failed multiple times to deliver items intended for me to the correct address, constantly leaving them at neighbouring properties. Each time I have flagged this with their customer support and each time their response has been that they will review the case and to ensure it won't happen again, but… Read more
clearly nothing happens.
In the most recent case, they left the item in a neighbour's yard where their dog had obviously immediately accessed the parcel, ripping it and damaging the item. In their 'proof of delivery' photo, which clearly shows the wrong property, you can even see the neighbour's dog next to the parcel! Once again I've reached out to customer support and once again received only the usual response that they will review the case but then no further correspondence. So now I am left with a damaged item, with no resolution from CouriersPlease and clearly no guarantee that this won't keep happening in the future despite them saying they will ensure it won't happen again.

The matter is still ongoing — there have been multiple emails back and forth from that day until now to arrange collection from the designated collection point .just for 1 parcel . Come on COURIER “ NO PLEASE”
Courier no please
An absolute farce from this terrible company that has no idea about customer service. I was expecting a parcel last Friday (before long weekend) and they assured me - the seller - that it would get delivered by end of day. So did Couriers Please. But guess what? at 630 pm I get a notification they could not deliver! Long weekend gone, it's Tuesday… Read more
and I am told by both the seller and teh courier that it will be delivered why end of day! and.... nope.... at 4 pm they say they could not leave the parcel unattended.... well... I was home, no one came, no one rang the bell, nothing, they just took it to a pick up point without attempting to deliver. I am not collecting the parcel and I will never ever buy anything from any company that uses Courier Please as their couriers.

Worst courier ever - avoid!! Bought something from BigW. Is coming from 40km away and has been in transit for over a week. Apparently yesterday it couldn’t be delivered as they needed more address information, which I provided. I also gave authority to leave. I was promised it would be delivered today. Today I heard the van arrive and drive away,… Read more
but when I went to look for the parcel, couldn’t find it. Reviewed the CCTV footage. Yesterday the courier drove past my house without stopping. Today he walked onto my driveway, then turned around and drove away with my parcel, while I was at home. Didn’t come to the door. Didn’t leave the parcel. I called CouriersPlease who said it would be redelivered today. I gave them the CCTV footage and the also emailed saying the parcel would be redelivered today. Never happened. Why??

I was here and even contacted your customer service. When I… Read more

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

Recently had a 13.5kg parcel delivered by Couriers Please, left at my front door as requested. I am severely disabled and when the driver saw that I was struggling with the box got back out of his van, came back down the driveway and placed the box inside our house in the foyer. Really great customer service and support, really helpful and courteous. Show details · 1
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

7th False Pickup Attempt – No One Turned Up, and I Have Camera Evidence This is now the 7th time CouriersPlease has falsely reported an unsuccessful pickup attempt at my address. After experiencing this issue six times previously, I went as far as installing a security camera specifically to monitor parcel collections. And guess what? No one… Read more
turned up. Not a single driver came to collect the parcel. Yet CouriersPlease still marked the collection as a failed pickup attempt.
I now have camera footage to verify that no collection attempt was made.
To make matters worse, another parcel has been sitting on my front porch waiting for collection for an entire week, despite being left exactly where the franchisee instructed me to place it.
These are large boxes, clearly visible and easily accessible on my front porch. There is absolutely no reason for a driver to miss them.
I have already raised this issue repeatedly. Yet nothing appears to have changed.
Seven times is not an occasional mistake. It is a systematic failure that CouriersPlease has repeatedly failed to address.
What frustrates me most is not simply the missed collections, but the fact that unsuccessful pickup attempts continue to be recorded when no driver has actually attended. Customers are then left wasting their time contacting customer service to resolve a problem they did not create.
I am now asking CouriersPlease to:
1. Formally investigate the franchisee responsible for servicing my address and explain why pickup attempts are being recorded when no one attends. 2. Review the driver's collection records against my camera footage. 3. Arrange immediate collection of the parcels, including the one that has been waiting for a full week. 4. Take meaningful corrective action to prevent this from happening again.
I should not have to install a security camera just to establish whether a courier has actually turned up.
How many more false pickup attempts will it take before CouriersPlease takes this seriously?

assistant on the phone. I received a message to say I'd be informed in 1 or 2 business days.
Today I got a message to say my parcel is on board for delivery and it arrived. Tracking had said it was coming from Queensland, but label stated it came from Nutra Naturals in Chinderah, a distance of about 10km from my home.

We paid CouriersPlease to deliver a print to one of our customers. They passed it to Border Express, whose driver delivered it, walked off, then came back and took it off our customer’s doorstep.

hasn’t paid us or done anything to fix it. We booked and paid CouriersPlease. They chose Border Express to carry our parcel, so what that driver did is on them. Instead we’re the ones paying for it.
This is an amateur, less than adequate company with no morals or business ethics. A courier that loses parcels like this and won’t make it right shouldn’t be in business. If you run a small business, they’re not worth the headache. Find another courier.

Absolutely terrible service from start to finish. I regret not reading the reviews before using CouriersPlease.

Western Australia.
Once it finally reached Perth, it sat at their WA warehouse for 3 days marked as overdue.
Customer service was almost nonexistent. Every time I called, I was stuck in enormous phone queues, at one point behind 26 other callers. I was then told there was an additional 7–10 day delay. I told them I would collect it from the warehouse myself.
They told me the parcel was already out with a delivery driver. When I arrived at the warehouse, the parcel was still sitting there and had apparently never gone out for delivery.
After repeated failed collections, 1 month-long transit time, misleading information and having to collect the parcel myself, I would never use CouriersPlease again.
Avoid this company at all costs.
