Evaluating 291 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the delivery service, citing issues such as missed deliveries, late arrivals, and items not being delivered as expected. Customers also reported significant problems with contacting the company, as phone lines often had technical issues or long queues, and live chat options were unresponsive or disconnected. The overall service was frequently described as shambolic, with many feeling that the company lacked proper communication and failed to provide a reliable service.

Worst experience ever.. they wont show up

Worst experience ever... they came to deliver our LG American style fridge freezer on **Wednesday 16th of November**.As soon as they showed up the driver asked me to provide him some sort of trolley ot something so he can help us to bring the fridge freezer inside the house..As he's nit supposed to bring it in.. when I told him I don't have anything like this and Delivery driver should bring their own equipments /Trolley etc customer nit meant to provide anything?? The driver stated behaving rude to me and left by saying company ArrowXL didn't give him anything. So he's leaving.. he took my old fridge freezer from outside( have all the footage from cctv) and left without delivering the new one. After chasing LG and ArrowXL finally received a text yesterday(28th of November) that they will deliver it today between 13:00-15:00. Received a call from a driver at 15:30 that he will come in an hour. *Nothing .... No one showed
up..No text or call from this company. Pathetic service i tried the webchat to follow up if they're delivering it today?? Waited for 1 hour and 11 mins no one is available on their chats. No number to contact you email and it wont deliver...

Orded a tv from very

Orded a tv from very, first time they attempted to deliver they parked 2 miles away from my house and expected me to walk and collect the tv as they were in a truck and said they couldn't deliver to a house, tv went back to there depot. Attempted to deliver today and have been in all day again for it never to show up and they have marked it as delivered and signed for. Item never delivered this company is a joke and wouldn't recommend anyone to use them, they must employ thief's as multiple people have said the same. Stay well clear!!

Have One Job To Do And Fail Miserably

Any company using Arrow XL for deliveries is giving a massive middle finger to their customers.
A supposed two man delivery for our washing machine was delivered by one guy who didn't use the lorry lift and damaged it badly.
Today our two hour slot to deliver our cooker has been missed entirely with absolutely no communication from them. Impossible to contact them.
Utter shambles

Unable to track or speak to someone as…

I wonder why Arrowxl are not claiming there other profile on here which is ArrowXL Limited which is the same as ArrowXL by JP Home there rating for ArrowXl Limited is only 1.3 stars and both are the same business
I was told that my item was being delivered yesterday on the 28th, I booked the day off and used the tracking to see where my delivery was and the tracking was showing, I was number 6. the vehicle never moved and i tried the chat window, no response, I tried the chat window since 7.15am and no response, I have called at 11.35am I was told I was number 64 and waited 1hr 53 mins to be told to wait a minute whilst they check and they just ended the call. I would not expect that from any help line and still nothing is showing on the tracking and no email or message to say where my goods are. Totally disgusted

Appalling service from Arrow XL on…

Appalling service from Arrow XL on behalf of Appliance Direct, shocked they are using them as a courier service. Comms in advance of the delivery day giving a two hour window were good but then the appliance just didn’t arrive all day. No phone number to ring just a live chat that despite trying 10 times and giving ample time just never connected. No communication from them about delayed service or rearranging, spent a whole day in the house for nothing. Then the next day without notice or having communicated that delivery would be done the day after (or a time frame) I get a call stating they are 8 mins away (not the 30 mins we are told to expect!) not in as wasn’t told to expect redelivery attempt the next day, then when request they gave us an extra 10 mins which would get us home the staff member was incredibly rude and refused to wait and was angry on the phone. Incredibly frustrating all round- will not order from Appliancrs Direct again and very cautious when a courier isn’t listed a might mean I have to deal with Arrow XL agaib

Not happy is understatement!

Updated : to find Arrow XL limited & Arrow XL by Jp home are the same company.. and guess what folks.. a rebrand from YODEL XL - yep the worst couriers in the U.K.! If you write a review here, make sure your copy it over to both trust pilot accounts.

Not happy is understatement!
Ordered a package (an expensive one) for NEXT DAY DELIVERY via Amazon as birthday gift for my son.! Which was needed by today (Saturday). Should have arrived the Tuesday before.
I even received a time window from arrow the night before.
Come the Tuesday, recieved a message that it hasn’t arrived at depot and would be rescheduled. (You assume the following day). Not heard anything from them since.
I contacted Amazon, who stated their system said it was due for delivery on the Thursday, and again the Friday oh and again the Saturday!
Reading Amazons internal tracking info shows it had been rescheduled multiple times.
So Arrows own tracking now lists it due for next week, 1 week late! Yet the tracking info states they contacted customer with updates. PURE LIE.
So they are clearly feeding false tracking to Amazon and false information stated in thier own tracking service.
No one answers there online chat or reachable on phone!
So thanks a lot, absolutely useless courier who lies to the sender and receiver and even if it arrives on the apparent new booked date it’s already 7 days late and 4 days late for its need and one upset child!😡

5 Hours after slot, and cancelled

Was waiting for a new fridge as my old one stopped working. Selected a slot, and was given a slot between 2 and 5. At 7pm they cancelled, and I waited for them all day. The next available slot was offered 2 weeks after. I CANNOT ACCEPT AS I WILL NOT HAVE A FRIDGE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

I watched the 'tracker' and saw the delivery vehicle spend hours upon end in Harpenden, and was shown on the map around the corner from me with my delivery having one more item before it. Then it was cancelled, and I only found out by checking the tracker. A while later I finally got a text to say it was not delivered.

What happens if the next date, which is 2 weeks before Christmas they also fail to deliver the fridge? I will be without a fridge for 6 weeks at least from the second half of November to the end of December.

It was also convenient how the cancelled delivery notification was received momentarily before the end of the online chat period.

This is unacceptable.

NEVER DEALT WITH A WORSE DELIVERY COMPANY

I ordered a new bed and matress for my daughter with a scheduled delivery date.
Waited all day and received nothing when checking tracking is stated both had been delivered and electronically signed at 8.17am.
It took nearly 2 hours to get through to customer services who just said they had not received the package at the depot. I asked why do I have all information stating it had been received at the local depot on the tracking info. Lady on the phonr stumbled and said its been delivered but its not been scanned and put onto the van. I asked why and she couldn't give me an answer. She then said I would probably receive a message to reschedule the delivery but it may take a couple of days. She had nothing else to say regarding this. I also asked why this was not flagged up sooner and explained that it would not be delivered

This was planned for my daughter and we had removed her old bed and mattress. Shes is extremely upset as she will now have to sleep in her parents bed squished up. I am completed frustrated with all the lies this company has fed me and how long I had to wait to hear it. Poor poor poor company !
AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Just to give an update I still have not received the bed 12.12.25 supposedly we will receive this next week. It will be a miracle if we do.

Avoid if you can

Avoid if you can. I don´t write reviews too often, but the experience with them was so bad that I just had to. Why would any company use them as their shipping service? I also will never buy from this company again because they ship with arrowxl.

Arrowxl is not fit for purpose.

Arrowxl is a joke of a company.

I paid for a specific delivery date, took time off to wait for the delivery…and nothing.

I called the depot but it was an answering machine that informed me that they no longer take phone calls for customer service and that communication is now all done via chatbot.

Problem being that nobody appears to answering the chatbot queries.

I have no idea where my delivery is or when or if I will receive it.

Edit: Contacted the retailer Very, who told me they are nit allowed to call but only email Arrowxl to find out what’s happened.

I received an email from Arrowxl saying the parcel has been delivered - it hasn’t and there’s no proof of this.

Shocking ‘service’ and dishonest.

Will be reporting to Trading Standards.

Terrible Courier AVOID

Terrible experience from start to finish. ArrowXL failed my washing machine delivery twice. The first appliance was ‘damaged in transit’ before it even reached me. On the second attempt, I have clear video evidence of the driver parking outside, sitting there, and then driving off without making any delivery attempt. Yet they claimed ‘nobody was in’ and sent a pointless photo of the building’s exterior intercom as their proof.

Their customer service was just as bad. I waited over an hour to get through on live chat, only for them to close the chat because I didn’t reply within two minutes — even though I had been actively waiting the whole time.

This left me without a washing machine for days, and their attitude showed zero accountability. I’ve cancelled my entire order with the retailer because of ArrowXL’s incompetence. Avoid them if you want a reliable, honest delivery service

One Star as there is no MINUS available.
Dreadful company. Waited in all day for a delivery of a £400 item. No contact all day, just the same time slot of 5.30pm delivery slot showing. NOTHING received Then BAM at 11pm Suddenly shows as delivered and signed for at 7pm!!!! Firstly NOTHING has been delivered. YOU ARE LIARS. This will become a police matter if not sorted straight away and a full apology given for Lying and waiting my time

This company is impossible to contact

This company is impossible to contact. They have online customer service and I have tried to chat with someone regarding my delivery for days. When I’ve tried to call them they had technical difficulties or the lines were closed. No response whatsoever. I am considering cancelling the order as I cannot fit within the delivery slots they are giving me.
Never again!!!
