I would hesitate to recommend P&S
The parcel was lost no tracking information was available, we eventually received the parcel two week late.
Parcel had Christmas presents in it, so was not happy at all. We payed for a service that was not delivered (literally)

Its 2022 and pack and send don’t think people using wheelchairs have parcels to send
I rolled my wheelchair to the nailsworth pack and send and there were steps at the entry. I called and asked for the wheelchair accessible entrance and was told the building is old and other shops like this. Although the person was helpful, don’t rent places that are inaccessible to customers and if you go ahead and rent it then ask for a wheelchair entrance. So much for ‘ There are No Limits to the solutions we can provide for you.’ as pack and send suggest.

Inefficient service
Took 3 weeks longer than on the tracking then they gave me a partial refund and in the next breath they take $33 from my credit card saying parcel was larger than stated in self service booking. It seems strange that this could not have been noticed at initial pick up when weight /size is checked ? Not impressed timing is very sus. Won’t use again.

The most horrible service I've ever used
Arranged for an item from NSW 2541. It took exactly 4 weeks to get delivered to Sydney.
I made several contacts to track the item, but rarely got updated.
Extremely poor communication, not reliable.
I should have avoided using Pack&Send. I'll never use it again.

Absolutely terrible service, courier missed pick up date by 8 days
Absolutely terrible service, courier missed pick up date so I called customer service and got an excuse. 8days later and several calls to customer service they finally cancelled the courier, and rebooked another. 14days for parcel delivery is simply not good enough, first and last time I use Pack n Send

Ridiculous - don't waste your money

Mixed experience. Very disappointed customer.
I have used Pack & Send three times this year. I have always the person who organised the service and I was always the receiver.
The first two times their services were very satisfactory. The whole experience was smooth and quick without any issues at all. I was a very happy customer.
So naturally I used them again the third time. That's beginning of my nightmare.
The package wasn't picked up on the scheduled day. Organised to get it picked up on another day but I was told when I called Pack & Send that the driver went to pick it up on a diffe...

My box was dropped off on a Thursday afternoon. It wasn’t picked up until Monday afternoon. But once picked up, from Perth, it was available in Sydney on Thursday afternoon. Box arrived in great condition. The tracking system was useless. When it was about to be delivered, the tracking showed as still being at Perth airport.

Thanks for responding. The tracking website was very inaccurate. It would have been better not to have used it all.

Delivery dates provided were wrong twice, even when the second one was meant to be for the following day. Phone numbers don’t get answered.
