To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 2,523 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers frequently appreciate the service for its ease of use and competitive pricing, often finding quotes cheaper than direct couriers.

However, some customers were dissatisfied with unexpected additional charges, often related to customs or weight discrepancies, which were not clearly communicated. A significant number also experienced poor customer service, citing unresponsiveness and difficulty contacting the company for support. Some reviewers also faced problems with collections failing or deliveries being delayed, sometimes resulting in lost items.

The overall experience was great

The overall experience was great. Sadly, FedEx sent a few confusing messages about the parcel being dropped late and then it won’t be delivered the next day. Luckily, it was just a strange message and the parcel arrived in less than 24 hours!

The responsiveness was top-shelf

The responsiveness was top-shelf. Our needs were a little too small for the service providers, but I would work through parcel compare again if a bigger challenge came our way.

Courier failed to pick up my parcel

Courier failed to pick up my parcel to be delivered. They gave me two different pick up times one from parcel compare(09:13am) and one from royal mail parcel force(10:13am) I have had to drive 220 mile there(yes the parcel was there and I collected it)and 220 mile back. Shocking customer service and still waiting for a response
