If there was an option for zero stars I would have given that.
It took two weeks and 8 requests for the consignment to be collected with very poor response time from Pack n Send. Once the parcels were eventually delivered only 2 of the 3 made it. I would suggest going with a different provider.

Read moreseems, that in very poor taste - you're just using them as a convenient excuse. I am still yet to hear back from anyone about the missing parcel and would appreciate if their response time was even half as fast as yours. Instead of directing me to contact you for more information, the onus is on you, the provider to rectify this situation. I have already submitted an enquiry, so if you could please follow up on the consignment number above, that would be appreciated.I will be happy to follow this up for you. Please allow me a short amount of time to contact the CS Team, review your enquiry and provide communication through email.

Do not use for important items
Sent 3 large boxes (85kg) of personal goods when moving interstate. No tracking updates were provided post pickup, and when boxes didn’t arrive within the week, I contacted the customer service. Initially I was referred to the franchise I sent through, and I was told the boxes would arrive that day. When they did not I contacted customer service again and they confirmed my boxes could not be located and so depot searches were conducted over the next week with no result. Then without any notification, 3 weeks after being sent I found my boxes ne...
Read morext to the letterbox left out in the weather when I’d requested a signature on delivery. Please be aware that this company uses third party couriers who have overseas contact centres. They have little knowledge or control over where the parcels are. I would not recommend sending items of value with them that can’t easily be replaced. I acknowledge that Xmas & Covid may have impacted delivery time, but not knowing where my personal items were was unsettling.

No stars for service. Parcel took 16 days to travel about 150kms. Parcel was thrown over the front fence and damaged. Very disappointed in this company and will not use them again.

Absolutely terrible. Would not use again.
Package was going from NSW to ACT. It go lost and took two weeks. When it finally arrived it was majorly damaged as if they'd just thrown it off the back of a truck. They wouldn't help at all and took no responsibility.

RE: AUW0402228E9
I chose to pay over twice that of Australia Post's fee to send a letter using Pack & Send's express document option from Melbourne to Davao (in the Philippines) owing to the promised expedience with which the letter would be delivered. To quote your own website -

Read moredicated that delivery would take 1-2 days plus a couple of days more to allow for delays. Great! I handed over over the letter at the Werribee branch on 10 March. Immediately, the delivery estimate became 9 days (19 March), according to your tracking service. Later than expected, but still acceptable. Well, the letter arrived in Manila on 12 March, has not moved since ('shipment on hold'), and - of course - missed yesterday's delivery deadline. An entire week in delivery limbo! There ought not be a customs issue, since it is only a document. Further, Manila is at the other end of the country from Davao, the destination. What is going on? How much longer will this take? And, should I need to find an alternative, how do I claim a refund for your company's unacceptable failure to deliver the service for which I paid?I will amend this review by saying that my document was eventually delivered, albeit later than expected. To be fair, I would now rate the service as 4 stars - P&S lose a star for being misleading wit...

Package was only picked up after having to remind the company and double the cost of good old Australia Post... not fast either. If you want to pay a lot of money for poor service...go for it... better to forgo the convenience of pickup and trot down to your local post office.. will get there faster, in better condition, and at much cheaper cost.

Very bad
Package arrived one week later and my suitcase was destroyed during the shipment.
I can't use it anymore because of all the scratches and a wheel damaged and also a corner is pushed inside and it is impossible to push back. They did not have accuracy during the handling and I'm very upset. Do not send with them.
Very bad.

Didn’t expect this from Pack and Send
I sent one parcel from Australia to India around 30 August and my brother received it in mid October. This was the first time I was doing it. I was advised by pack and send that there are few items that I can’t send to India for example, perfume. I went back to the office and took off the item and I specifically told the guy to update my final amount however he didn’t. It was stuck at Indian customs for a month because of the mismatch in the price value. I have to pay a lot of duty tax just because the guy in the pack and send department did not take the effort to rectify my final value price. Terrible Service by Pack and Send.

Worse than bad, ILLEGAL
Our 13 boxes that we shipped from Brisbane to Canada arrived months late, we were told the "secure" warehouse was broken into, ALL our personal belongings were stolen including jewelry, computers, laptops etc. Instead of contacting us, they repacked the boxes with stuff that was left on the floor of the warehouse and shipped it to us. After months of not having our belongings, we opened our 13 boxes of useless garbage. Pack & Send refused responsibility and did not compensate us either. Do not use Pack @ Send.
