Delivery driver was very arrogant

Delivery driver was very arrogant, shouted from the street in front of my business and said that I must come to her to take parcel. She wont get out of the car to bring it as its not her job.

Buffalo Couriers has given me one of…

Buffalo Couriers has given me one of the worst customer service experiences ever. For more than a week, I have tried to fix a simple delivery issue, but they ignore every attempt to contact them. Their phone line goes silent, their WhatsApp and chat are useless, and all they send are empty automated emails.

When I finally complained by email, they replied with a generic copy and paste message instead of actually helping. I still have not received my parcel because they simply refuse to communicate.

This service is unacceptable and shows a complete disregard for customers. I would never recommend Buffalo Couriers to anyone.

USELESSNESS AND NON DELIVERY

My God where to start. I ordered glasses from Lensmart and let me tell lensmart has done its part. The thing is I’m in Botswana and Lenamart doesn’t deliver here. So I ordered the glasses to be delivered to a courier company in SA that would in turn delivered to me in Botswana. The package is in JHB and every day for the past 15 days I get stories why Buffalo simply can’t just deliver to the courier. Because I’m not in SA I don’t have an SA cell number. I asked if they could call an international number they said no. I asked if they could instead deliver to Botswana, they said no I can’t change the delivery address. I said I’d just come to JHB to get the package, it’s a 6 hour drive, they said no collections. What the heck. Now I have friends in JHB, I want to change the delivery to their address, again no. I’m about to demand a refund from lensmart and start again cause I have aged considerably fighting this battle.

The WORST service

The WORST service! And when you as the customer put up a complaint, they get their friends and staff to put up 5 star reviews so that they don't look bad!

Twice now they've told me no one home for delivery and phone not answered, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY MISSED CALLS AND BOTH TIMES THERE WERE PEOPLE AT HOME!!!

I am furious - they have no idea about service, because you can't get hold of anyone to assist, either!

Logged a return since 12 October 2025

Logged a return since 12 October 2025, today the date is 17 November but still I get stories every week and I have my parcel sitting not used whilst I paid money for it and I cannot be refunded because Buffalo refuses to collect the parcel, all you do is lie ablut the parcel being picked up, it has been over a month now of empty promises, highly disappointed with your services.

The most useless experience in my life

The most useless experience in my life. So apparently they do not deliver unless they can reach you by phone. Instead of kust driving to the adress and deliver the damn package! Nonetheless, I contacted Bufallo service centre and there is nothing they can do to change my number for the package to be delivered, they say that the supplier should chamge the number, when I speak to the supplier, they say that bufallo has the right to change the number and according to Bufallo they jave no right to change the number, I offered to pick up the package at the warehous, this is also not allowed. How stupid. I do not recommend to use them for your bussines or private courier service.

Terrible experience with the courier

Terrible experience with the courier. The courier stated that he would not deliver in my area as it was outside of his jurisdiction and that he would arrange for another driver. I did not receive a callm when contacting him he denied what he said. After resending him his voice note, he mentioned issues unrelated to the collection. When contacting the call center was asked to call back as the lady could not stay on the line while I was searching for the information that she required that I asked her to guide to get on the app. When I called back another lady Natasha informed me my code was different hence they were unable to deliver. I informed her this was a collection and they had previously successfully delivered to the same address, she kept quite until I had to end the call. Overall, Terrible experience.

Deteriorating service

Buffalo used to be pretty Incredible as well as fast for their deliveries but over the last few months, they've taken a turn for the worse. Unsure if new management has taken over but I don't forsee this company lasting long when their service has become this shoddy.

Missing item in my package

I received my parcel on the 5th September and the parcel was tempered with (it had a hole). I contacted the delivery driver and he just read my text and never replied, I called him, he didn't answer my calls or returned my calls. I than decided to contact Shein because my parcel was from Shein, Shein confirmed that all my items were packed and dispatched correctly on their side. I than tried contacting Buffalo and sent them an email via the support email address - which was suggested by the whatsapp bot on the 6th September 2025 (it was over the weekend, so I didn't expect a response from them). On Monday the 8th September 2025, I tried communicating with them via whatsapp again, the whatsapp bot is as worse as their human agents. The bot kept on asking me the same questions and I couldn't get through the human agent. On the 9th September 2025 I called Buffalo and I spoke to Ayanda who told me to send pictures of my package and the missing item, I did that on the 9th September 2025. Ayanda never came back to me, and I called again the following week. I got hold of Ayanda again and I re-explained issue to her, and she said the support team will be contact with me via email as she has escalated my case. She also mentioned that she couldn't see my emails. Since then, I haven't heard anything from Ayanda or the support team. On Tuesday the 22nd September 2025 I called Buffalo again, this time I got hold of Ofentse, I had to explain myself again and Ofentse said she could see my whatsapps and not the emails I sent. She then asked me to reshare the pictures of the package via whatsapp and I did. Today is the 24th September 2025 and still nothing from Ofentse or anyone from Buffalo. This has been very frustrating and emotionally draining. It's a waste of my time and money because I constantly need to follow up and need to explain myself to show that nothing is done on their side regarding my case, because why must I explain myself all the time? Why are there no records of my calls regarding my case? The communication and service from Buffalo is daunting, frustrating, terrible and horrible for a consumer to experience. I am writing this to warn anyone who orders internationally and uses Buffalo as their courier service. Make sure you notify the e-commerce company you order from not to use Buffalo for your package delivery. For your safety and peace of mind, consider using reliable logistics providers with established reputations and good track records.

Arrogant and Disrespectful Driver

Need to sent a packet. Driver didn't pitch according to the collection timelines. When contacted the driver the person got arrogant with me.
Nr= 0. 6. 5. 8. 9. 8. 9. 7. 0. 2
Name= Gee Simons (WhatsApp profile)

Received msgs from both Buffalo and the driver that it will be collected within the next 2 days. That was Wednesday. It is today Saterday and no sign of the driver.

I will not accept service like that. And will not deal with arrogance and disrespect from a driver. Buffalo should not send the same driver for the pick.

You have poor service

You have poor service. You delivered my package on the 31 July 2025 and i booked the return. They collected on the 3rd of August 2025 on 4th of August 2025 they deliver it back to me with out returning it to Temu. I told the driver to to return it to Temu. After week I went straight to their warehouse they gave another tracking number on the 25th of August 2025. I received a WhatsApp teling me to pay R164,00 to reschedule my delivery.
I tried so many times to call but no help. The my parcel was canceled I must rebook collection while the package is on them. I did rebook and the driver came I told him that the package is on them. I call the driver the following day to check but no help. Now they canceled it again. This buffalo logistics doesn't care about us. There's this guy in Mthatha warehouse call Thabo He knows where is my package. I think we need to go to court about this.

They assigend my parcel to the wrong Driver!

My package was supposed to be delivered today, but I received a mail stating that it was incorrectly allocated. The call centre told me the package was allocate to a driver that does not deliver in my AREA, haha - how ridicuous - so the product I needed this weekend, will only arrive next weekend. Great service (sarcasm of course)
