THEY DO NOT REFUND POSTAGE COSTS FOR LOST PARCELS!!! As a sender, we use their booking service frequently. However, when a parcel is lost, resolving the issue becomes very difficult. The overseas support team has been unhelpful. They all try the best to make you cosumue more time and eventually give up on the warranty. That's their goal. In… Read more

addition, they do not refund postage costs for lost parcels. This experience has been very disappointing. What a joke!

Worst Ever !!!! Beware , they BREAK everything , absolutely no care taken. Twice I have received items delivered & both times they are smashed to pieces. They will not even refund the delivery cost because the sender put Authority to Leave, thinking it would be more convenient for me. I was home & have it recorded on video clearly you can tell he… Read more

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 and advises that your parcel will go by the international DHL network. On 14th of March 2026, I… Read more

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.

Fantastic service – I needed a guitar speaker moved from Sydney to Gold Coast. It was picked up, and delivered quickly in great condition. I was so very happy. I will always use interparcel! Show details ·  1

Great Choices – Interparcel allows me to pick the time and cost for sending my parcel, they always arrive before the expected date and in good condition, I will continue to use them for future packages and have recommended them to other people. Show details ·  1

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.

DHL measures 14 cm - photo show 10 cm - customer told to jump!! – Shipped 5 items to Australia from New Zealand last month Three with UPS - no problems - good service Two with DHL - both time they send me surcharges for oversize - DHL did pick up on time and delivery was on time, no damage But After the second box was given surcharges and DHL measured it at 14 cm wide and I had measured 10cm I realised that… Read more

they are not being careful measuring , I send photo of the box measuring 10 cm not 14 cm, basically they did not care- very strange attitude of DHL and interparcel didn’t really fight for the customer DHL even the weight was wrong - box was 7 kgs - DHL weighted it at 9 kilos - both boxes were 7 kgs - same item. It like it was weight with another box - it did not matter as the volume metric weight was more Not sure I would chose DHL as an option again on shipping to Australia - very aggressive stance that they never get anything wrong!!

Lies on their quotes – Read the fine print. Their "quote" claimed delivery within a week, after a week my parcel had not left the country yet. When queried, they directed me to the "small print" which says 25-30 days. When I confronted them about their blatant lies, they ended the conversation. Show details

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.

I appreciate the fact that the operating hours close at 8pm because it really helped with an emergency issue. I dealt with Felix and he answered with questions that I needed and have been very helpful. It's more information than I could possibly get from the website's quote system. Show details

I rate them. I have been in the freight game for over 15 years and seem my share of poor companies. For them to be holding a 4+ star review is remarkable. Now do NOT sell out please. We need competition in the freight game, and I know you don't offer direct freight services yourself yet,. I am hoping one day you go that way and expand on that vertical market.

I booked Interparcel to deliver a parcel to the Middle East, and setting up the delivery online was quick and easy. Not so the parcel pickup. I stayed home all day for their 10 hour pickup window with no joy and no sign of a courier. Like most people I don't have the luxury of staying home all day, day after day, so I rang to cancel and get a… Read more

refund. Rose at the other end of the phone was wonderful with no aggro and no recriminations just terrific, helpful service. Paypal contacted me two hours later with news of my refund. I may try Interparcel again sometime, especially if their pickup and delivery is brought up to the same standard as their customer complaints & refunds. Thank you, Rose!

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.

Courier damaged the carton so the customer wouldn't receive it. It was sent back to me and I'm supposed to pay a fee to have it delivered to me. The tracking shows it was delivered and signed for by the customer. Now I'm supposed to pay for another booking to send the repacked carton to the customer. I'm so tired of courier and broker companies. Show details

Customer service staff do the best they can with no resources. Can't call anyone up the food chain to deal with issues and when they do arise, Interparcel has absolutely NO AUTHORITY to instruct couriers to follow requests or remedy. Multiple failed pickups over weeks with no automatic alert, so the parcels just sit there until either my customer… Read more

This is the worst courier company on top of it they got liers in their system who will not come to pick up your parcel and mark up that your parcel wasn't ready, thanks to the technology I booked Armex through this company and parcel wasn't picked up on Friday - 14/11/25 so I called interparcel and they rescheduled it for Monday - 17/11/25 but… Read more

same story repeated no one came to pick up the parcel so finally I cancelled the order because I knew if I reschedule it, they will not going to pick up it because they are not serious for business they are just wasting customer's time.

Interparcel added an “oversize” surcharge to my shipment without providing any proof from the carrier. They refused to show measurement logs or photos, even after I supplied Amazon’s confirmed carton dimensions which contradicted their claim. They kept demanding photos of boxes that were already delivered, making the dispute process impossible to… Read more

follow. This whole process feels like it’s designed to pressure customers into paying fees that can’t be verified. Very poor handling overall — I’ve filed complaints with regulators.

If you want to pay money just to suffer, go ahead and use this courier. I really wish I’d seen all the reviews before using them — everything that happened to me was exactly what others complained about. Please read what other customers went through before you book anything with them. 1.Ridiculous extra charge They claimed my parcel was 10… Read more

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.

3.Template replies only

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!

First of all, the courier said was unable to deliver the package because they cannot find the address. The destination was a hotel and easily found in google map. At this point, I wouldnt blame interparcel, as the courier is a third party. Interparcel, then charged me a redelivery fee. However, no second delivery was attempted and the parcel got… Read more

returned to me after more than 2 weeks.

After several emails back and forth, interparcel finally agreed to give me a full refund. 2 weeks later, no refund received, I had to chase them for the refund. They, then, refunded partly. I had to chase, again, for the rest. They finally provided another part refund and still less $5.50 from the total that I paid. I didnt want to waste any more of my time at that point.

No apology, no remorse. Ignored emails. Took several emails to get one response. Broken promises. Terrible customer service!!! DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! It will be better to go direct to a courier company.

If you value your time, your customers, or your sanity, avoid Interparcel at all costs. They regularly fail to collect consignments that were properly booked, paid for, and ready for pickup. This isn’t a one-off — it’s a recurring nightmare. Every time you trust them to do their one simple job — collect and deliver — you end up with uncollected… Read more

parcels sitting for days, zero communication, and support that seems to exist only to say “we’ll raise a ticket.” Those tickets go nowhere. Nothing happens. No apology, no action, no accountability. It’s unbelievable how a company in the logistics industry can be so consistently unreliable. The system automatically takes your money and issues labels instantly, but apparently, actually collecting the goods is optional. If you need a courier that shows up when they say they will, Interparcel is not it. They have wasted hours of my time, let down my customers, and cost my business money. Bottom line: Interparcel should not be trusted with any consignment of value — or even a box of air. Their service failures are frequent, predictable, and utterly unacceptable.

Engaged them to ship from Aus to NZ - customer service from them (and the carrier, UPS) was actually pretty good throughout, until they sent an additional invoice more than a week after delivery had already been completed. They claimed the boxes were bigger/heavier than I declared, and wanted photographic evidence to dispute the claim, which… Read more

obviously I couldn't provide; it had been a week, boxes were all unpacked and ripped apart.

The weight they gave was also exactly the same as the weight I declared - they said some boxes were heavier, but others were lighter, interestingly enough. I will concede though that the dimensions probably were bigger, due to the boxes bulging (likely because they were squashed under each other - several items inside the boxes were damaged when I unpacked them). Dimensions they gave were about 3-4cm more per measurement than what I declared.
