 AI reviews summary 

CouriersPlease receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, characterised by a systemic failure to complete residential and business deliveries. The most frequent complaint involves drivers falsely claiming "attempted delivery" or "no one home" while customers are present, often documented by CCTV. Significant recurring themes include lost or stolen parcels, damaged goods due to rough handling, and a customer support system that is almost entirely uncontactable or limited to unhelpful automated bots.

Pros
  • Occasional Professionalism: A small minority of reviewers highlighted specific drivers who were professional, helpful, and followed instructions meticulously.
  • Speed for Specific Routes: Some users reported fast interstate delivery times (e.g., Melbourne to Cairns or Brisbane to Gold Coast) when the service functioned as intended.
  • Effective Escalation: In rare instances, once a human representative from the "Customer Advocacy" or management team intervened, long-standing issues were resolved.
  • Smooth Business Integration: One business user found the initial setup, including con-note generation and reporting, to be seamless and efficient.
Cons
  • Falsified Delivery Attempts: Drivers frequently mark parcels as "unable to deliver" or "business closed" without actually visiting the property or ringing the doorbell.
  • Inaccessible Customer Service: The company relies heavily on a "useless" AI chatbot and offshore call centres, making it nearly impossible for customers to speak with a person or resolve issues.
  • Poor Handling and Security: Multiple reports show drivers throwing fragile packages over high fences, leaving items in plain view of the street, or forging signatures for "delivered" items that never arrived.
  • Inaccurate Tracking and Logistics: Parcels often sit in depots for weeks without updates, are sent to the wrong states, or are marked with invalid tracking numbers.
Verdict

CouriersPlease is widely regarded by consumers as unreliable and untrustworthy, with many now boycotting retailers that use their services. Due to the high risk of lost items, false delivery claims, and non-existent support, it is not a service that can be recommended for time-sensitive or high-value shipments.

1 Skg  · Courier doesn't show up for pick up. Absolute joke. Unprofessional.
1 Ian  · Avoid this company. I have been waiting more than one week till they pick up my parcel. Still they didn’t turn up. Never again.
5 Ann  · Excellent service from Rupinder. Very professional and helpful. Very happy with service. Highly recommend Rupinder for courier deliveries.
1 Jenny S.  · Attempted delivery, been home all morning. untrustworthy company will not use again
1 Derek  · Used two times to send company documents, BOTH of them request signing which never happen. 1) just left in letter box outside 2) lost it and cannot be located
1 Fair  · Unreliable, slow and no customer service, avoid this courier and avoid everyone that use them because you you will be disappointed.

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. The third-party agent never responded to their queries for an update. I requested confirmation of the lost order to be send to the store I purchased from and they refused! Show details

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

Terrible company should NEVER be used - I have been waiting for a package that was meant to be delivered on Monday, it is now Thursday and every day the reason the package has been unable to be delivered hasn't been given or that 'the business is… Read more

closed'. I live in a residential building where the door is open, NOT a business. There has been no other communication as to why I haven't gotten my package. Definitely never use this company.

 Follow-up  · They said everyday it was going to be ‘redelivered’ and I would get no update and then at the end of every day it would just say the delivery couldn’t be completed again. My items were from Zara and honestly it’s made me never want to buy online with Zara ever again as the experience was so poor.

Do not use EVER – They were supposed to be express shipping my parcel, but it took a week. The moron who then delivered my package left it quite openly on the door step and it was stolen. I did not give authority to leave but the sender had. If the id*ot driver had… Read more

put it against the adjacent wall then it would not have been visible to the public road. Thankfully the sender is replacing it and using Auspost, I hope the sender cancels their contract with CP as they are useless and their customer support awful. Now just keep getting please rate our support emails, haha imagine my rating for that. AVOID AT ALL COSTS OR WILL BE AT YOUR COST

 Follow-up  · I avoid CP at all costs, and check the merchants carrier prior to ordering. I now also use a parcel collect address. The sender replaced my order at no cost. I still kept getting rating requests from CP despite their inadequate response to my complaint

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 ordered a 3x3 Gan 12 MagLev UV from Spark Cubing and it arrived today in absolute pristine condition, the driver was nice and gently placed it on our porch, customer service was good and addressed the tracking issues in a couple of hours, overall would give a 5 star if it didn't come late or tracked better. Show details ·  1

I didn’t even want to put down 1 star! This company is useless save yourself any hassle and don’t use. They don’t update tracking, they say they attempted delivery when they haven’t and take far to long to get your parcel anywhere. Never again!!!! Show details

Had a parcel to be collected being sent as an engagement gift and was not collected. Wasted an entire day called the customer support and was on hold for over 45min and when they answered had a lot of difficulty understanding them. they told me at 3pm that the driver would be here within the hour. Was then told they don't have a direct contact for the driver. Still not collected and now won't get arrive in time. Show details

We have a lot of people frequent our area and myself and neighbours have had packages stolen in the past so I never allow packages to be left at my front door. I did not give the courier the authority to leave my parcel at my address unattended and this is exactly what has happened. My package was left on our doorstep at 11am, I couldn't get home… Read more

from work till 5:30pm and it was no where to be seen when I arrived home. My item was not a cheap purchase and I am furious it was left out when I specifically chose for it not to be left. I've contacted couriers please twice now with no response.

Avoid if selling through third party courier platforms or using Amazon Easy Ship. They don't seem capable of arriving at an address, stopping, getting out of vehicle and picking up parcels. They will just drive past pick up address once and mark it down as a failed pick up. Show details

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 home and each time I've received deliveries from other services. I complained to Couriers Please,… Read more

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.

Tracking showed "Unable to deliver" at 8:05 AM, but no courier came to my property. I have CCTV footage confirming there was no delivery attempt. Marking a parcel as "Unable to deliver" without attending the address is misleading. I expect CouriersPlease to investigate, review the driver's GPS records, and improve the accuracy of their tracking updates. Very disappointing service. Show details

Worst service ever. I was advised that the delivery had been refused by the receiver, yet the parcel was never actually delivered. Despite contacting customer service multiple times, no one made any effort to investigate or follow up on the issue.

Honestly, a truly pathetic experience with this company. I had successfully changed the delivery option (with confirmation email) to a delivery point, which was ignored and (according to the customer support team), doesn't appear in their system. They then attempted to make a delivery (when I was at home), which subsequently "failed" because they… Read more

needed "additional address information" - all while having the full residential address in their system. Vendors should be very wary about dealing with this company because of reputational damage to their own brands.

Item has been in their Adelaide warehouse for nearly two weeks. They claim to have made 2 delivery attempts but was home with gate open both times and no activity recorded on cctv security system. Have made 2 calls to support team but they just confirm delivery address is correct and then refer to depot and will "advice when we hear something".… Read more

Have had to go back through supplier a second time to try to get explanation.

Update- after submitting draft one star review item was finally delivered (1 day short of full two weeks since first received in depot). Support services just provided response of item delivered. Replied whilst that’s great do they have an explanation of what went wrong and how they are going to prevent reoccurrence so that I could have confidence to use them again. Support services replied with generic response saying they were reviewing but then no final outcome provided so I am guessing they haven’t made any changes to prevent further occurrence.

Shocking service. Got an unable to deliver notice. They hadn’t even tried. Took another couple of weeks to finally deliver the item that was no longer required as I needed it urgently and had to go out and buy another one. Just received notification that my Kmart order is shipped, but going through these guys do not even due for another week. This is NOT courier services. Companies, please stop using. It doesn’t help your reputation. Show details
