Failure to meet Delivery

My item which was sent to Borderlinx on 22/3/18 was only delivered to me on 16/4/18. I spoke to 3 CSOs in the last week of March and right until 10/3/18 asking for my item. I begged and cried for my item which was meant to be a Birthday gift for my daughter. I only received my item on 16/4/18. Borderlinx, I am sure is aware of this but has not offered any apology or explanation. Even when my item was placed for shipping, I did not receive an email (like I always do), asking me to take action. I knew of it because I checked my account everyday for my release. I am sad and disappointed with Borderlinx.

Very good service fast shipping and…

Very good service fast shipping and short transit time at very reasonable cost. No second round of paperwork and customs formalities and delays at the country of arrival (in case of The Netherlands). Highly recommended!!

Shocking service, borderline a scam. Cheaper to fly out and bring home, almost.

I have never left a review before and so shocked by this company i had to leave a review.

So i bought a relatively small item that is 12.75" round and 1.75" deep and weighs 2lbs.

I sent this item as a test as i need a service like this going forward.

They wanted nearly £200 to ship this item to the UK!!!

One of the biggest services they pride themselves on is their repacking service.

They have listed the box as 18x18x24. Which seems extremely oversized.

So i contacted the manufacture and they gave me the dimensions of the product box of 18x18x4 which means it will fit in the box 6 times!!

So the repackaging service they apparently offer does not exist or they got the dimensions completely wrong on the box.

What it seems to me is, they dress it up, offer a nice site and then charge a fortune on shipping, it's ludicrous and possibly a scam.

I am a decent and fair person and contacted support several times, first time Friday and after chasing i get a reply back today being Wednesday which might as well said unlucky the box is what it is, they took a long time to get back and the reply seemed a generic reply.

If you use this service, be prepared to right off any goods you send to them as you might find the shipping costs way outweigh the goods you buy.

I have bought much bigger and heavier items from USA that have cost me much less to post.

Such potential, such a shame.

I am disgusted and shocked.

Suite no. 1898-4992

Please resolve asap!!

Dear Chris.

We're truly sorry for the service rendered in your case. At Borderlinx, we value our customers and try to address all concern promptly. This do not reflect the standard we strive to maintain and like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Please be advised that the weight and dimensions of a shipment is scanned by an advance cubiscan when the parcel arrive to our warehouse. The chance of an error is extremely minimal, reason why the case was not reviewed.

As the items are already released, the question of rechecking is futile. If you would be interested to use the service in future, we will definitely like to offer a voucher to discount the shipping fee on your next order. Please feel free to contact the support or just reply back to the ticket issued for this case.

Once again, we would like to offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Borderlinx Team

Very slow and expensive service.

Very slow and expensive service.
It took them almost 3 days from receiving it to put my package in the suite.
I paid 62 gbp for a small package (homepod). Pretty expensive service.
not using again.

Dear Rok, All shipments are promptly processed otherwise, and it is sad to know there was a delay in your case. For the shipping fee, it is not related to the item price, actually its calculated based on the shipment weight- volumetric or dead weight, which ever is heavier. We can understand international shipping can be tricky with all the duties/taxes included, reason why we provide our customers the online cost calculator to plan their shipping better.

Having said that, we continue to explore alternative reasonable shipping options and we are very hopeful in coming days.

WAITING WAITING WAITING

I am waiting for SEVEN different deliveries sent to my Borderlinx address in USA by Amazon who confirmed their arrival. However, Borderlinx has failed to deliver them to me. I have contacted them and was told I would receive an answer as to exactly where these shipments are with in 24 hours. I am still waiting. I asked them to please give me the DHL tracking numbers. I am still waiting.

I live in Cairo, Egypt.

Borderlinx, you did so well on the first delivery. I am not pleased.

You want an order number?????? Really? I'd like one as well.
