Hi Anna,
We're pleased to hear that you were happy with the prices and pick-up/delivery.
We're sorry to hear about the under declared charge applied to this booking. An under declared charge is the difference between what you have paid and what we have been charged by the carrier. I have flagged this with the invoicing department for further review and investigation.

Hi Dawa,
We're sorry that you feel this way. Unfortunately missed pickups can occur. I can see that your freight was misdirected but is now on track however it may affect the original ETA of 03/11. This is not a common thing, and it is unfortunate that you have had a few issues with this one booking. We hope that you will consider using us in the future.

I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding the ongoing issues with your courier pickup and delivery services, which have severely impacted my business operations.

For the past several months, I have experienced repeated pickup delays, with some parcels remaining uncollected for over 8 days despite being rebooked daily through your call centre. This pattern has continued for more than six months, and unfortunately, there has been no meaningful action or escalation from your service providers.

As a small business owner relying on timely dispatch — particularly during peak festive periods — these delays have caused both customer dissatisfaction and reputational impact. While your team has been courteous over the phone, the lack of follow-through or accountability from the courier side is unacceptable.

I kindly request the following actions:

Immediate review and resolution of pending pickup delays.

Investigation into the repeated service failures over the past six months.

Confirmation of steps being taken to ensure consistent and timely pickups moving forward.

Please treat this matter as urgent and provide a written response outlining the corrective actions. In particular, the service performance of Aramex and CouriersPlease has been extremely disappointing. Both providers have shown a complete lack of reliability, with frequent missed pickups, poor communication, and no proactive updates. As a result, my orders have been delayed repeatedly — causing significant inconvenience, customer complaints, and reputational impact on my business.

Hello Shikha,
We're sorry that you feel this way. We reached out to request specific details, but our request was not responded to.
We have reviewed many of your bookings. There are a many that are marked as futile due to the goods not ready, then successfully collected the following business day. The freight needs to be packaged and ready to collect prior to the booking is made to prevents futile delays.
If the same booking is missed or marked as futile multiple times, it is escalated to the carrier's management for further investigation to see if there are any issues or reasons. The carrier has processes in place for these.
If you are not happy with specific carriers, we offer many more however they cost a little more.

They have your credit card details and will charge you extra fees.

Two weeks after delivery they charged me $100 for shipment being "overweight" even when exact measurements and weight were given. No proof or evidence their end. They charged my credit card without even giving me the right to contest. Beware they have your credit card details and they'll charge whatever fees they want.

Hi Eugene,
We're sorry that you feel this way. As you can imagine larger or heavier freight comes with a larger cost. Your freight is remeasured and weighed at the depot using a calibrated laser. Our invoicing department have responded to your email.
Your credit card is not stored as such; however, it is linked to the booking you have made. The additional charges are outlined in our Terms and Conditions, which are agreed to at the time of the booking.

Unclear Fees and Poor Transparency – Be Very Careful with Transdirect

I’ve been using Transdirect for quite some time 1.5y roughly, but lately, I’ve become really disappointed with how they handle “under-declared” charges.

They often add extra fees after delivery, claiming that the parcel’s actual weight or dimensions were higher than what we declared. But this doesn’t make sense — we always measure very carefully and even add a safety margin to avoid any under-declaration. For example, if a parcel weighs 18.3 kg, we declare 19 kg; if it measures 71 cm, we write 72 cm or even more. Still, we get hit with extra charges afterward.

In our most recent case, we used a very strong, solid carton box — it couldn’t possibly expand or change size during transit. Yet, we were charged extra again.

Their FAQ page just says vague things like “This is how the carrier determines the cost” or “Charged Weight,” but there’s no clear formula or explanation of how these charges are calculated. That’s extremely untransparent and unfair.

We also tried emailing Transdirect several times to ask for clarification, but they completely ignored us — not a single reply. That’s just not acceptable customer service.

Because of all this, we’ve started switching to other shipping platforms. Once we find a reliable alternative, we’ll stop using Transdirect altogether.

👉 My advice to other users:
Always record your parcel’s dimensions and weight clearly, and also take photos or videos showing how you measured them before you submit the booking. That way, if they later claim your parcel was “under-declared,” you’ll have solid proof for any dispute or appeal.

Overall, I think Transdirect really needs to improve transparency and communicate better with customers. Until then, I’d suggest anyone using them proceed with caution.

Simple Online Booking

The online booking system is fantastic! You can lodge a pick-up request at any time, night or day. Pick-up is generally the next business day. If you run into any issues with printing shipping labels, a simple phone call and the girls sort it straight away for you. Definitely recommend these guys. Also love that you can compare different shipping companies in the one place!

Hi Kylie,
We're sorry that you feel this way. As you were sending a cleaner, a SDS is required to ensure that your freight is not dangerous goods. We are not licenced to carry dangerous goods. Dangerous goods require an additional license which also comes with additional fees.
You were emailed at 8:19am to request this information, no reply was received. You then emailed us from the same email address we used at 12:13pm and 1:54pm. Also to note, the service you booked was road freight and not an express service.

Had organised a parcel made up of car keys and an iPad only. Weight well under 1 kg. Had to estimate size of parcel as items were left at a Hotel. Hotel staff assisted in packaging and collection by courier. Package safely delivered after several days. Had to do an online payment based on estimates of package size and weight. Received an email a couple of weeks later requesting extra payment as parcel was considered as being in a higher price category. No previous communication received to give notice of cost increase. Not happy.
Received a reply of review telling me that parcel was oversized and weight and that estimates are not recommended.
Since the items were left at a Hotel I could only estimate size and weight at home by measuring and weighing my partners iPad.
What else could I do? My estimates were within the 1 kg guidelines to accommodate an iPad and some keys. Thanks to the Hotel staff for helping me out by packaging my items for me. A little bit of leniency would be appreciated. Who and how is the final measurements done?

Hi Rolf,
We're sorry that you feel this way.
This is not a price increase as such it is an under declared charge. This charge is applied when the freight is either bigger or heavier than originally declared. We request accurate weight and dimensions to avoid this, an estimate is not accurate.

Disappointing service

I have never had a more disappointing experience with a courier company like Transdirect. After my very important document went missing in Germany and was never delivered to the destination address. A claim form got submitted, and after few weeks to be told the consignment falls under their so called ‘warranty cover exclusions’ policy and would not be covered even the extra costs were charged for the warranty cover, so $450 less no sign of the document and no sign of compensation. After I was made aware that the consignment was lost I had to spend even more to get another document verified, this was send by DHL what an amazing experience, professional, seamless and delivered on time. Should have used a global organisation not some third party hopefuls. Recommending not to use them what is cheap is not always best and I need to take this to a higher government organising to get results.

Hi David,

I'm very sorry to hear that your document was lost in transit, loss or damage is a rare but unfortunately inevitable part of the courier industry, not unique to booking courier via Transdirect, and whilst its rare overall I still appreciate that its a fully felt inconvenience for you and I do sincerely apologise.

As the regard the conditional limited liability warranty policy you opted for at the time of booking, the terms and limitations are listed in advance of your agreement and unfortunately such documents are not covered.
As a goodwill gesture your booking fee has been refunded in full.

Kind regards
