Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 1,449 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently mention that deliveries arrive promptly, and many drivers are notably polite, careful, and very helpful with heavy packages. People often appreciate receiving clear updates regarding the status of their shipments, which makes package tracking quite straightforward. However, some customers also noted frustrating delivery delays and packages frequently being left in insecure locations without prior notice. A few individuals experienced significant difficulties reaching support teams, describing unhelpful responses and long waiting times when issues arose. Others additionally mentioned instances where online tracking information conflicted with actual delivery statuses, causing completely avoidable confusion.

The box was left outside my door

The box was left outside my door, completely exposed, and was already open. Thankfully it was only cat food, but it could easily have been stolen. Delivery services these days are just crazy — I don’t know what’s happening anymore!

Very good experience

The driver rang - pleasant man to say that my delivery had arrived. I was 5 minutes away from my house and told him so - he asked if it be okay to leave at the door which I said was fine. Good service
