Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,356 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. A significant number of consumers report extremely poor service, stating the company is absolutely useless and lacks accountability. Reviewers frequently mention issues where parcels are lost in transit or never arrive, often without adequate tracking updates. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the service was exceptional, noting great communication and a very polite courier. However, some people also felt that delivery drivers neglected instructions, leaving items in full view of the street instead of a safe location. Other individuals noted persistent difficulty in obtaining assistance, such as when customer service emails went unanswered or offered no solutions.

There should be a zero stars option.

There should be a zero stars option.

Took a parcel to a shop that I had sold via vinted. They eventually picked it up after 7 days, and that was the last anybody ever saw of it. Apart from the courier who stole it, of course.

4 weeks later and Vinted finally refunded my customer and gave me the money I had lost.

I assumed this was a one off, but having looked at the reviews its clearly common practice.

My wife has just ordered a parcel from Shein to be delivered to our home address. Instead, they didnt bother to deliver it and left it at a parcel shop miles away and then text us to tell us it was a 5 minute walk away.

What if we didnt own a car? What if we are housebound? This company needs shutting down and any company who uses them needs 1 star reviews and boycotting

I would give 0 stars

I would give 0 stars, if I could.
They don't have adequate website or app, they are loosing items, and they don't have custom service. Automatic response email will inform that it is your own fault that they have lost your parcel, and they don't have any responsibility for it.

Absolutely atrocious

Absolutely atrocious. Ordered a few bits off TikTok shop. Im heavily pregnant and live in an apartment complex top floor in London. The delivery driver LEFT my parcels at the bottom of the complex by the lifts where they could quite easily get stolen. Really out of order, contacted customer services but apparently because they were “delivered” it was totally acceptable. Never use this delivery company if you can help it, I’ll be making a complaint to TikTok now. Out of order completely.

Relay service

Absolutely atrocious. I get bombarded with requests to deliver to a pick up point using "safer place" as scaremongering to persuade me to do so. This of course is to their benefit. If their driver has 3 or 4 drops in an area, he can just make one drop to said point. Quicker and cheaper for them!! They're paid to deliver to an address and that's what they should do. I've asked for a delivery to a Clapham post code. I've received a message that it'll be delivered to Lambeth but with the same postcode. Are these people stupid or do they not understand simple everyday English?
They're definitely an AAA company, Appalling, Atrocious and Abysmal.
I'd suggest anyone sending a package doesn't use Relay. The sender will be making a rod for their own back.
DON'T USE THEM

Parcel delayed

Parcel delayed, contacted customer support as requested by the tracking and unsurprisingly received no response at all!
Relay, you request customers not to make multiple enquiries? Well they wouldn't have to if you responded to the first one!!
Need a zero stars option here 😞

Absolute rubbish

Absolute rubbish. Parcel didn't turn up got i touch with customer service and sent them an email with the tracking number and they replied that they didn't pick my parcel up and the tracking number don't exist. Then they tried to blame the seller. Bad customer service as they take ages to reply and bad attitude.

The delivery with this service is very poor.The driver will leave the items wherever they like and won't even press the door bell.They take the photo and send to say this parcel has been delivered.Today I was waiting for a parcel which I have ordered from Shein and I got the message from Relay and Shein to say my parcel is been delivered at 5.47pm.I was wondering they didn't even use the door bell,as soon as I received this message I went out of the house to collect the parcel but it wasn't there.They have taken the photo and collected the parcel with them.How stupid is this .Very careless drivers and I haven't got my parcel I have paid for .Very angry customer 😡

I hope you go bankrupt soon

Losing parcels left right & centre. Don’t bother emailing customer service they’ll just completely ignore you. What an absolute useless, incompetent “company”.

Should be able to give half a star!

I purchased some items from Vinted and chose a local shop that took deliveries from Relay and this was offered on the Vinted app at the point of purchase. I received a notification that it was at the shop. When I got there they told me that they would have sent it back because they did not have the equipment to deal with Relay deliveries. The seller has had no notification of this and I’ve been to the shop again to be told the same thing. I won’t chose Relay as an option going forward
