Slow and poor communication
Good points - Arranging pick up and shipment was very easy and straight forward. Picked up when said it was going to be picked up.
Bad points - 46 days delivery from Brisbane to Perth, could have carried it there quicker! Lack of information as to where the shipment was up to, it was just in transit at a site.

Helpful staff but painfully slow delivery
Nailsworth staff were helpful to re-arrange delivery location in Perth.
Opted for road freight as goods weren't super urgent, but delivery time was terrible. Dropped off on the 6 Jan. finally arrived 24 Jan. Tracking information was fine, could see daily my parcel hadn't arrived!

Poor service all round
Package wasn’t picked up 4 days after booking after being escalated and promises made it would be pick up that day. Finally had to drop it off at a depot for it to actually ship and then almost at 2 weeks to go from sydney to Newcastle. The standard covid excuse and lead up to Xmas offered. Wasn’t overly impressed.

Nice idea let down
Pick up was set for a Thursday. the package was finally picked up after almost a week.
The delivery was supposed to be 1-3 days, not having the package picked up for almost a week is very disappointing. Customer service was very helpful with my complaints and offered help when needed.
Once the package was picked up delivery was fast.

Disappointing experience (due to the carrier though)
I thought I'd give Pack & Send a go after seeing lots of good reviews (especially regarding the local franchisee). However, for convenience I just used the online service to deliver a package 25km from my home before father's day. Unfortunately for me Pack & Send used Fastway/Aramex as the carrier for this delivery. I hadn't had good experiences with Fastway in the past and you only need to check their reviews to see how consistently poor their service is. (This site alone has almost 8000 reviews averaging 1 star).
Booked the service on 30th Au...

OK if you're willing to wait 5 days after the pick up time
No communication from the driver or co that they weren't going to make the pick up time, nor the next day. I would have been OK if I'd received notification, but I'd taken time off work and was stuck at home for two days with not so much as a whisper. I had to reorganise a time with them, for 4 days later, with no guarantee that it would be picked up then either.

The choice of carrier is determined by the sender when the booking is made, according to the service selected. The pickup time indicated by the sender is a preferred time only and is not guaranteed, as it depends on driver freight volumes.

Online quoting and pricing good but customer service in drop off center poor!
Quick and easy to quote and purchase online, but service i received in the drop off center was poor. My box had a slight bow in the cardboard (2cm) which I was charged an additional $20 for but this bow was simply from lying on its side in my car, which would have been easily fixed if I was allowed to use some of their tape.

The only problem is quite lots of time parcel were not picked up on the day I booked. Well, it is troublesome coz I can’t always wait for that.

Normally good, but not this time ...
Normally I am happy with using Pack and send, and their choice of courier company. However, this time Couriers please was used for a delivery from Melbourne to Perth. It was picked up 11th December and the first attempt at delivery was the 18th January! After a number of phone calls to P&S to ask the courier to attempt re-delivery, one more attempt failed, multiple shuffling between depots, and the parcel was eventually delivered on the 11th February!
Thank you to Pack & Send for helping to sort this out, but the choice of courier this time was not a good one.
