Don't use pack & send. Overpriced, no home delivery, delivery should be included when the price is doubled.
Yes after I finally found them myself were in ok condition, yes tracking was supplied.
But for four boxes at nearly $700 is price gouging.
& They lost my boxes, I had to make many calls to find them.

No communication
My tracking stated that the delivery was going to be on one day however it arrived on a day when we were not present at home (with no notification) which meant the courier needed to wait for a lengthy period for us to return
Hi Timbo,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us about your Pack & Send experience.
We really appreciate the great feedback you have given us and value your recommendation.
Child aged 5 years sobbing with disappointment and exhaustion.
Order AUW0476534F
This is a surprise present for 5 year old child.
I was told yesterday 16/12/21 the parcel was out for delivery.
According to my tracker it arrived in Melbourne 15/12/21
Today 17/12 I'm told it arrived at the depot 7.27 this morning.
Incredibly disappointing and it's not O.K to make a 5 year old cry.
Hi Rikki, We're very sorry that your delivery was delayed at this very busy time of year. We've checked your tracking number and confirm that the delivery was completed at 5.03pm today. We do apologise for the disappointment.
Thankyou for contacting me. I really appreciate it.
An apology makes all the difference.
The problem was a child was involved and we were told the parcel was out for delivery yesterday and we waited all day....
Thanks Rikki. We appreciate your understanding.

Very Average
Package leaves Qld for NSW, after 48hrd the tracking app places it in SA. My inquiry was rebuffed; "private arrangement between Sender & P&S". But I paid?! It arrived a week later, only slightly damaged.

Pathetic customer service and no accountability!
Booked a parcel to be picked up in Perth, the day came and went and I received no notification it had been picked up. Called customer service to be fed lies about it being regional. It was 20 minutes outside of Perth CBD, hardly regional. Had to call multiple times to get through to someone as their phone system intermittently hung up on me. Kept getting excuses and brushed off. Staff did not care when I threatened to cancel the job. Would never use them again!
Update: 1 hour after rebooking with TNT the parcel was picked up! So much for your crap about couriers being too busy Pack & Send!

Waste of time
Item was not picked up, sender stayed home all day waiting, when i rang Pack & Send they could not give me any idea as to when the item would be picked up. So I cancelled the service was told i would receive a full refund in 3 working days well that never happened. Open a paypal despute still waiting on Pack & Send to reply. Will never use them again.

Affordable Service - Not the best technology
The online self-service was user friendly and affordable. However, when the parcel was picked up and for several hours after, the status on the tracking link was not updated. I had to send an email to confirm the pick up of the parcel. Moreover, customer service were not able to give me an ETA. Furthermore, although I paid for a signature, my parcel was left in front of my door (understandably, this is due to the pandemic; however, the online service should note that)

Bad communication but very cheap and I received the packages after a 2 day delay
The packages were booked a week in advance and were picked up 2 days late after I’d canceled it. I left a message after the packages were not picked up and no one ever got back to me also because the driver didn’t buzz the apartment and the job was canceled we were concerned the goods were stolen from the apartment foyer. When I rang to confirm I was told the driver picked them up even though I’d cancelled the order so I Icancelled the cancel and the packages were delivered the next day. The cost was incredibly cheap though so the service was good value but bad communication. I’m happy they were delivered in the end.

Slow, required a lot of follow up
Booked a pick up for Wednesday, it wasn’t collected until the following Tuesday, after I called 3 times to ask what had happened. I didn’t appreciate the lateness nor the need to follow up myself. I understand that there is a leak in demand at the moment, and a 1-2 day delay was flagged on the website. I would’ve understood this if the communication had been better.

Is just OK. Doesnt appear to be managed.
Competition of the booking form is a bit painful. Why can it not remember past common records? The tool is not updated inline with tracking. Most of my bookings show undelivered still.

UPDATE: 35 days and counting with no update
I had sensitive documents to be picked up from Canberra and delivered to Perth. Booked them in to pick up and they were a day late. From day one to now, day 18 (day 35 now) , the online tracking has not been updated and just says in transit. 18 days day (35 now) ! APPALLING! their online quote says 5-6 days. Are you joking?
I have emailed and called twice. All times they said they will get an urgent ETA and will call me back with an update.
I'm still waiting for my call back and my package.

Previously great experiences negated by appalling customer service
Sent small painting to Sydney, packed in a bespoke wooden box with anti-shock padding and screw down lid. Drove 127 kilometres to my nearest store in Wagga to drop it off and they couldn't be more helpful.
Getting the work back was a different matter. The return was cancelled because a painting is classified as 'dangerous goods' if booked online. I was provided with this information by a rude, repetitive and uninterested employee named [Name Removed] who couldn't be less helpful given that my request to transfer all the necessary paperwork to...
Read more the storefront empowered to assist was not granted and I had to go through all the details again with that store. So apparently if you book online a painting is dangerous, if you ring for service or attend a storefront, it is not. Nothing, nothing was any different to my previous uses of their service for exactly the same purpose, destination and pick-up. The customer service officer's constant reference to the FAQ's on the website was her response to my equally insistent responses that I had used the service multiple times before without a problem. Very poor.Thank you for your feedback Jay and I understand that you have already been contacted by our Customer Service Manager to explain the difference in the services we provide.
