Felix was very helpful and professional during our phone conversation regarding the quotation. He was patient in answering my questions, provided clear explanations, and made sure I understood the details. I really appreciate his friendly approach and willingness to assist. Excellent customer service!! Show details

Shame you can not provide negative star reviews for shonky operators. I sent an outboard motor via Interparcel, the pick up and delivery service was excellent. Until the final invoice from Interparcel showed up. Fabricated sizes, weight and "residential pick and and delivery" charges totalling 5 times the original quote. Then when confronted with… Read more

evidence, they fabricate some more numbers "passed on by the courier". A simple fact check showed this was incorrect. They are still standing by their made up numbers... Watch out for their dodgy invoicing practices, and send your info to 7 news for some evening news content!

Charged $107 for "Phantom Volume" – Rejecting concrete physical proof! Interparcel is currently hitting me with an outrageous $96.64 "Couriers Please Oversize Fee" (Invoice 85KBLMJ4), which jumps to $107.64 if not settled within 7 days. I originally paid $61.16 for this booking (Ref: 5617286), meaning they are trying to penalize me more than 1.5… Read more

times the original shipping cost based on a completely fabricated measurement. The carrier claims my package thickness was 23.2 cm instead of the declared 15 cm. This claim entirely defies the laws of physics. I sent Interparcel explicit photographic proof showing: 1. The original box markings permanently stamped by the sender showing the exact dimensions: 1600 L x 620 W x 150 H (15cm thickness). 2. The actual rigid fiberglass Duotone wing foil board that was shipped inside, with a tape measure showing its physical thickness is only 12.5 cm. For the carrier's automated 23.2 cm scan to be accurate, the box would have had to contain nearly 11 cm of empty space or dead air. No one packs a flat box like that, and a rigid fiberglass board cannot expand. When I supplied these photos, customer service gave me a classic bureaucratic trap: they demanded a photo of the fully taped, unopened package with the shipping label visible. This is a physical impossibility given the package was safely delivered to my house in Patterson Lakes days ago and has already been opened. They are using the "froth in a glass of beer" tactic—artificially inflating their billing power factor while stripping away consumer leverage. Blinded by automated laser scans, they refuse to look at real-world physical dimensions. If an Interparcel manager does not step in to cancel Invoice 85KBLMJ4 immediately, I will be taking this directly to Consumer Affairs Victoria and the ACCC. Complaint now lodged with governing body Consumer affairs Victoria case number (C2026/10/004894) as no response from interparcel after 48 hours. Order ID: 5617286 Invoice Number: 85KBLMJ4

My expensive parcel was destroyed by TNT. Interparcel were the intermediary. They’re just a broker – Parcel destroyed. It would be easy to say it was done deliberately given the nature and state of it. But that would be subjective. The insurance excess is more than the $300 case so I’ll have to supply the customer a new one out of my own pocket. Yes it was picked up in time. Yes it was ‘delivered’ almost on time. Edit: I've attached an additional… Read more

photo of the box so you can clearly see nearly a half of it removed by damage and then taped up by TNT. My customer reported that the inner packing was absent.

Throughout my long life in business, I always have associated the service called "courier" to be secure and faster than the Postal Service. This is not the case when you send something via Interparcel Australia! The organisation appears to be good… Read more

and advises that your parcel will go by the international DHL network. On 14th of March 2026, I booked a service, and paid for sending an A4 envelope with documents from Rockingham, Western Australia to Western Cape, South Africa. The envelope was collected by a courier the next day on the 15th. I received a tracking number, and after a week I checked on the item in the Interparcel portal. The advice was "Delivered". I was delighted and contacted the recipient in South Africa, only to find out the envelope had not yet arrived. I phoned Interparcel on the 11th of April and was told that the envelope had been delivered to DHL in Sydney. I was given a new Tracking Number to use in the DHL portal. I tracked the envelope and found that it arrived in Sydney on the 25th of March; It had been taken east, in the opposite direction of South Africa in the west; taking 10 days to get to Sydney. Tracing over the next two weeks indicated that the item was still in Sydney. I just gave up trying to get things moving. Eventually the item reached its destination on the 12th of May 2026. It had taken 51 days to get there! It has taught me a time and money lesson, and we will never use this carrier again.

 Follow-up  · Tracking was dismal - first a tracking number for the transport to Sydney. No further communication until we telephoned and requested a DHL tracking number. No follow-up tracking information was sent. The charge for the envelope was $52.24 Insurance was not taken because the commercial value of the contents was insignificant

I’ve been waiting for over two weeks for a parcel to be delivered, it needed to travel about 100km. I’ve been actively chasing it for a week, no one there has a clue where it is. All I get is a standard answer of “please give us 24/48 hours to… Read more

investigate” no one ever gets back you. I was told once it’s about to be scanned and will be delivered by 4pm, that was five days ago. The agents are pleasant but clearly have no idea what is going on. Do not use this company if you value your goods.

 Follow-up  · follow-up review. Terrible service, finally arrived after 3weeks, and continous follow-ups from myself and sender. Only use this company if you want to be disappointed.

Been a reasonably happy Interparcel customer until today. I had an urgent freight booking with only minutes to spare, and it was refused with no explanation at the point of failure. I called customer service and was told the booking was blocked because of an outstanding account dispute between Interparcel and the receiver — a dispute I had nothing… Read more

to do with and no way of knowing about. No warning, no heads-up, nothing — I just burned time on hold during a genuine emergency because of someone else's unresolved billing issue with Interparcel. If you've got a dispute with a receiver, that's between you and them — don't make it my problem with zero notice. Be aware this can happen to you too.

Vintage item arrived badly damaged – very disappointing response I recently arranged and paid for the transport of a vintage item through Interparcel, with Hunter Express being the carrier selected for the delivery. The seller took photographs immediately prior to collection showing the item, including the wheels, intact and in good condition. … Read more

When it arrived, one of the wheels was severely damaged. The centre hub was shattered and the wheel was badly buckled, leaving the item unusable in its current condition.

I contacted Interparcel and provided details of what had occurred. I was advised that because the shipment was booked using an ATL (Authority to Leave) service, there was no included transit warranty and therefore they would not proceed with a claim.

I understand that their terms regarding transit warranty may limit financial liability. However, I found the response extremely disappointing. The absence of transit warranty does not remove the reasonable expectation that an item entrusted to a freight service will be handled with appropriate care.

What makes this even more upsetting is that this was a vintage item, not something that can simply be replaced by purchasing another one from a shop. Sourcing identical original replacement parts may be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Even if financial compensation had been available, it would not necessarily undo the damage. The value of a vintage item is not simply its purchase price — its rarity, condition and irreplaceable nature also matter.

As a small business owner, I regularly require freight and delivery services. Unfortunately, after both the damage to this shipment and the response I received when I raised my concerns, I have lost confidence in using Interparcel for my business or personal freight requirements in the future.

I am sharing my experience so that other customers, particularly small business owners and anyone arranging transport for vintage or difficult-to-replace items, can make an informed decision.

I have photographs showing the condition of the item immediately before collection and the significant damage present upon delivery.

do NOT use this courier service. My parcel arrived damaged after being sent to Australia to the USA. I emailed them, they replied and said they would investigate and lodge a claim. I specifically asked them if I needed to chase it up myself with the courier which they denied. I waited 6 weeks, chased them up and after a few days they got back to… Read more

me and said there's nothing they can do. I asked them what the actual courier said, they turned around and said they didnt lodge the claim because of an "oversight" on their behalf. Now too much time has elapsed for me to make my own claim, so im out $500, a broken item and cannot lodge my own claim. Customer service just apologised and passed off the responsibility. Do NOT use this service, its not worth it.

What should have been a simple international parcel collection turned into an almost week-long saga involving multiple failed collection attempts, contradictory information, repeated escalations, and an extraordinary amount of time spent chasing updates. I booked and paid for a parcel collection from my home in Sydney to the UK. The parcel was… Read more

left outside exactly as instructed, clearly labelled and accessible. Despite this:

* the initial collection failed, * the rebooked collection failed, * and after multiple assurances from customer service and escalation staff that the matter was being “personally monitored” and “booked with the courier network,” the collection still repeatedly did not occur.

The most frustrating part was eventually being told by the courier that “no parcel was available,” despite me having timestamped photographs proving the parcel was outside for the entire agreed collection window. Their own driver photo even showed the correct property and collection location.

To be fair, once the matter reached escalation level, one agent did eventually arrange further intervention with the courier network and the parcel was ultimately collected — seemingly after the service had already been cancelled and rebooked with another provider, which perfectly sums up the level of operational confusion throughout this process.

I understand delays happen. What I do not accept is:

* repeated failed collections, * inaccurate courier reporting, * conflicting communication, * and customers having to effectively run a forensic investigation to prove a parcel existed on their own doorstep.

I would strongly suggest Interparcel review how escalated collection failures are managed with their courier partners, particularly Aramex.

Don't trust the delivery times. Paid for next day delivery due to deadline, didnt arrive until 3pm the following day. When you question their support they say "Please note that delivery dates and times are not guaranteed, except for same-day services, which are the only services that include a guarantee. All transit times provided are estimates… Read more

and is a guide only"

In other words, if it says next day delivery, and you pay a premium, the "fine print" means its not. Don't trust this company, go direct!

No accountability, no resolution, no support We contacted Interparcel the same day an issue was identified with a shipment. The parcels were never sent, and we supplied proof that the shipping labels were unused and still in our possession. Despite this, Interparcel advised the consignment could not be located and then refused to proceed with a… Read more

claim, citing ATL terms. This makes no sense when the parcels were never dispatched or collected.

We spend a significant amount of money for our business with Interparcel and continue to do so, yet received no real help, no fair investigation, and no reasonable resolution. The matter has been left entirely unresolved, with Interparcel making it impossible to close in a way that is acceptable.

For a business that relies heavily on shipping services, this lack of accountability and customer support is incredibly disappointing.

Interparcel added an “oversize” surcharge to my shipment without providing any proof from the carrier.

cm bigger than the actual box size. I used a standard carton box — even if it’s full, there’s no way it magically expands that much. Totally unreasonable.

2.Damaged parcel

When my parcel finally arrived, it was half torn open. I have no idea how they handle deliveries, but it’s shocking.

Their customer service never answers real questions — just the same copy-paste email every time. Completely useless.

If you enjoy frustration, fake customer service, and being charged extra for no reason — this company is perfect for you!
