Couldn’t Care Less
Did not collect parcel (I booked on line) when I rang to find out why, I was asked if pick up address was a Auction House (it was) and was told that they don’t do pick ups from Action House (apparently it’s in the T&Cs) however they HAVE been collecting from this Auction house on a regular basis over the last 2 years for me and I’ve never been told that before. The only solution the customer service person wanted was to cancel my order and refund, I asked them not to and asked for the courier they use (Star Track) and I called them direct and t...
Read morehey had no issues with picking up my box from the Auction House. Pack and Send are NOT a courier company they are JUST a booking agent. They farm you booking out to who knows what courier company. You can save more if you book directly through a known courier company.Review collected in partnership with PACK & SEND

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)

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.

Very poor service-
Parcel was picked up on time and was lost for over 1 month and when it was delivered most items in the box were damages or broken.
I will be putting in a claim but expect the service will be just as painful.
Bad communication and follow up except for a few.
Very unhappy and will not be using Pack & send or their NSW partner.
Not impressed.

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.

Awful
The item was elivered 8 weeks late, after being told it was lost. Customer support was defensive and rude throughout the entire process, unable to recognise the fault of their service.

Don’t use this company, or Fastway couriers
Please don’t use this company, more over don’t use Fastway couriers either as that is who Pack and Send deal with. When I placed the delivery online I was quoted for 3-5 days giving 2-3 days for covid restriction things then got my package 4 weeks later. Package was picked up on time but then proceeded to take a week to get from Canberra to Sydney, then sat at the Sydney depot for almost 3 weeks. Then when I received my package the box was damaged and my stuff was falling out. That was $2,400 worth of goods you should take care of your customers packages a little better don’t you think.

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
Package wasn't picked up for 2 weeks, despite the sender being home. The package was then passed onto 2 different delivery companies, for which I didn't receive a tracking number. I Received the package a month later than expected. Absolutely ridiculous - it's worth paying the money for a reputable company.

Quite possibly the worst delivery service...
The item was 4 business days late and no update was provided via the tracking info on its whereabouts and despite ringing and requesting information from the service centre on 4 separate occasions, still, no update was provided.
When the item was finally delivered, it was left unattended on the ground in the rain about 150m from my house despite the gate code being provided! (see attached image) NEVER consider using this courier.

Don't waste your time using this service
The package took six days to be collected
Although the staff promised to escalate the service the package still has not been delivered
The tracking information provided is hopelessly inadequate.
After the package was picked up they still could not ensure delivery - small print says that delivery can take up 2 - 3 days after collection
I will never use this again - everyone should be aware that it can take up to 10 days to receive your delivery - Australia Post would have been much faster.

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...

We apologise again Michael. It is a DIY Self Service that provides estimates only, there are no guaranteed delivery dates. If you require this option, we recommend using a local PACK & SEND Service Centre, they can provide this service. Thank you.
