PACK & SEND

great price for delivery and super convenient but It would be better if you provided confirmation of the package being sent, an invoice for delivery and tracking info that actually reflected where the package is.
This caused some issues with Paypal as they require certain documents to release money.

Overall would recommend but better documentation would make the experience better

The Brookvale office had no parking, making it hard to drop off parcels. Took 15 mins to get served. So that wasn’t a great experience. However, packed arrived on time

Booked online which was easy and convenient. Rang my local agent (Mermaid Beach) to check on the pick up and they were quite rude and dismissive, stating that if I had booked online it had nothing to do with them. Quite disappointing, as a first time user I will never recommend that branch to deal with. No one came to collect, so I chased another agent down the street to pick my package up. Wasn't the best start to be honest. Delivery was quick and arrived safely.

On-line booking website was initially confusing and misleading.
I was looking for self-service, but the options were based on gross weight of consignments.
Initially I was sent to a service centre which took a day to provide a quote, which was more than twice the self-service cost.
Eventually I was able to work out how to get to self-service, which I had used many times in the past.
Courier collection and delivery was up up to the usual Pack and Send good standard.

Package wasn't picked up on day booked for. After I dropped it off at third party Depo it did arrive fairly quickly though. Next time I'll just drop it off.

Rang lost parcel number 8 times, no one answered and line dropped out often. Finally sent a message that parcel missing but only reply was that message was read. nothing about trying to fix the problem.

Booked a pick up at 9.45 am Mon 28/6 in Ballarat Vic (population 800000+) receiving confirmation parcel would be collected 10am - 6pm same day. I had to ring next day (in the afternoon) to say no pick up has been made. Parcel was collected at 4.50pm Tuesday 29/6 a day late. Parcel was delivered 9 days later to Western Australia on Thurs 8/7 so delivery time was good - Carrier used was Couriers Please.

Order AUW0423594B5: Collection date 14 June. Not collected until 23 June. Many scheduled pick up times passed without collection.
AUW0425740D9: Collected on time. Courier excellent.
Tracking information for both was accurate.
Delivery quick.

Easy to use website and signup. However estimated delivery time/day should be clearly stated before confirmation or payment. Only after paying for what I believed was delivery on the same day as pickup did I see when tracking the package that it was scheduled for one week later.

Great service and price if you use self-service only. If not, expect your pants to pulled around your ankles for an in store quote. Was overcharged in store about $130 for the same thing.

Manifest states A4 envelope documents but had to pay further $35 before delivery because They say I selected parcel , yet manifest says otherwise ! Rather use DHL direct ..much clearer when booking !

Website easy to use. Package was picked up on time and delivered quickly. However I selected sign on delivery - this did not happen - goods were left on the receivers doorstep which is visible to the road. Not ideal and one of the reasons I selected sign on delivery.

I booked a shipment (a 6kg air-conditioning condenser) to go from Perth, W.A. to the Turks & Caicos Islands.
My client wanted the shipment to go air express via DHL, as he believed UPS was not as reliable as DHL.
He also wanted the condenser delivered in 4-6 days.
I looked up DHL delivery times, and they stated 2-5 days to T's & C's Islands. I booked the shipment at 9:00AM on Monday 23rd November via the "International Courier" section of the Pack and Send website.
I booked with Pack and Send, as their webpage states they deal only with DHL...

My deliveries arrived quite timely at the intended destination, hence the three stars. Lost two due to calling pack and send to provide entry code for the delivery address who told me that my item might be sent back to me. Four days after pick up and tracking showed it was almost at the delivery address....so this caused significant concern for no reason. I called admin a couple of times and they sounded very down and negative.

When parcel arrived in Latvia , receiver was told a fee was required to process through customs and pay Value Added Tax. If same items were processed through normal post (as previously sent) there would not have been any VAT nor processing fees. Only went this way as Aust Post is only doing economy email at present due to Covid19 restrictions, 2 to 3 months delivery without reducing the charge.
To give credit though the parcel arrived before expected time.
Also unable to bundle certain items as every item had to be individually inspected. This made it awkward as I was sending gifts for several families to a cousin to distribute. Once again via Aust Post only needed a declaration.
