Missing parcels,no contact from company

Up till now we've had no bother with this company. However parcel missing for 14days. Tracking says it's in Inverness depot,they can't find it, 'must have been misrouted' ? Don't see how that works with tracking ? No contact ,still waiting. Absolutely appalling service.

Fast and efficient with courtesy

Fast, helpful and courteous are the only words needed. Our item was picked up and delivered within 24 hours. Office staff, (Nicky) couldn’t have been any more helpful in processing the paperwork, we were kept up to date at every stage. The driver who delivered was courteous and helpful and went out of his way to ensure the fridge freezer was delivered safely, a credit to the company!

Poor experience

We arranged a very urgent collection and delivery through this company and the experience was extremely poor. Despite asking twice, no delivery date or time was ever confirmed. On the scheduled day, the collection did not happen because no driver was available — and we were not informed. Only after chasing did we learn that delivery would take five more days, as they do not deliver over weekends. We had no choice but to cancel and ended up incurring over £100 in extra costs to arrange alternative transport. A very frustrating and unprofessional service.

Dishonesty

After large truck came down our street and hit packed car. Sent in video footage to company. Lies and dishonesty from the start, can't speak to anyone higher regarding things. Looked up reviews which state the same. Very incompetent, rude manners.

Still dreadful

How are this lot still in business?
This is my 3rd recent experience and the 3rd time they have either lost or broken goods.
If you believe some of the reviews they are apparently worth 5 stars. Not really believable in my own experience.

Thanks Kenny the Glasgow depot manager …

Kenny the Glasgow depot manager tried to help me with a DHL failed delivery, he even went across to their depot to enquire about my parcel, now 1 week late, so although it had nothing to do with M&H, ( I was told wrongly by Argos it was) they still tried to help, can't ask for more than that 🤷..thanks

Very poor service.

Very poor service.
For three consecutive days, they claimed to have attempted delivery, stating no one was home — but someone was there each time. Additionally, our security camera did not record any delivery attempts.

The most unreliable delivery service out there.

UPDATE: After leaving this review and speaking with one of the managers, I am assured that the issues mentioned are being dealt with. Thank you to the manager, Peter, who came by to apologise in person.

Hands down the most unreliable delivery service I've ever experienced. First the driver showed up at my door and said that my order was on his device but not in the van. He promised me that it would be here that day or the next day. You would think a carpet and underlay is quite difficult to lose!

The next day, a different driver arrived with 1 out of my 5 packages and was very confused about where the other 4 were. What's more, he asked me at 6 months pregnant to help him carry the heavy carpet into the house... if the package is too heavy for one person to carry then why have you not got a two person delivery service assigned to it??

I phoned the office to find out where the rest of my order was and was told it had been split across 2 vans and the rest would definitely be with me that day. It was not. This was a Friday so I then had to wait over the weekend for the rest of my order to finally show up on Monday morning.

The whole time I was told that I would recieve a 2 hour delivery window on the morning of delivery which I did not. So I essentially had to sit in my house for 2 and a half days waiting for a delivery that may or may not show up. Every driver that arrived just blamed the previous driver, stating "oh yeah, he's a bit useless, not sure what he was doing". Would not buy from a company that uses this service again.

5 Star Service

Used M&H Carriers a couple times now all over the UK for my business deliveries to customers via pallet. Quotes are always quick, both customers delighted with the communication and drivers! A price that works for my business and a service that I can depend on has massively assisted us! Thank you.

Great service!

Just moved to Moray and M&H are the carriers other big companies use for the last leg of delivery.

Had a furniture order being delivered by DHL and had to reschedule through M&H. Simple call to real people and job done. There delivery guys even waited at our address as I was late back from appointment.

Their team were great to deal with and driver went over and above, delivering with great service.

Speeding in a 20mph zone

Not had this company deliver anything but today in Crail one of their vans hurled through the estate well in excess of the speed limit - there are children and pets here. Disgraceful.

DONT USE THIS CARRIER!!!!

Horrible. Esp Mark who keeps delivering in my area. Sick of this company and need to know in advance if I’m stuck with them as a carrier-bc I won’t order now if they’re used. But this one delivery driver is esp problematic over the years-most lethargic person walking upright in a role I’ve ever seen

Ok so further update numerous calls and differing stories on my consignment as below
1. Just arrived in Monday AM will be with you tomorrow
2. Trying to locate the large package will be with you tomorrow- Tuesday
3. Still awaiting package arrival it never arrived yet, then changed to “we are searching warehouse for them”… Asked to speak to depot manager and it was oh none are here they are searching depot… feel sorry for persons answering calls as management must instruct them to lie lie lie and then lie more… managers won’t call themselves as too embarrassed to admit they are a shambles of a delivery courier company avoid at all costs this company

My order supposed to be delivered on 23rd of April. Tracking system isn't helpful at all. Shows from 18th of April it was scanned in Inverness depot, when I called them they said not sure why was send to them and their redirect it to Aberdeen depot as it is their zone. Contacted Aberdeen depot unpleasant and not helpful man just said they don't have it and don't know where it is and brushed me of to contact seller. New update showed up on tracking (POD exempt and POD cleared) no parcel delivered and don't know where it is. It's big and heavy item is not like you can easily misplace it. Probably one of the worse delivery company I have to deal with. No communication between depots, delivering to wrong depot at first place. Not knowing where the parcel is or who exactly have it.

Ordered a hotpoint dishwasher from very that came from hotpoint direct and then was passed on to these cowboys to deliver to myself. Phoned on thursday 27th march and was told the dishwasher was at the local warehouse 37 miles away but there was a driver off sick so wouldn't be able to deliver as its a 2 man lift. Asked could i go collect myself and was basically told no it would be delivered Tuesday 1st april. Phoned again this morning and was told my dishwasher was on the wagon and would get a call about delivery, got the call, happy days then when they were about to drop off got another call to say it was actually a cooker and not a dishwasher so there has been a mix up somewhere. Phoned hotpoint and they assure me it was definitely a dishwasher dispatched. Got another call back from the driver to say my dishwasher was actually in the inverness branch and not the local depot. Phoned the inverness branch back again and was told it would now be delivered friday, absolute joke when this was none of my fault. Said i would appreciate if something could be done to get this delivered Wednesday 2nd april, woman was going to make a few calls to arrange then get back to me. Never heard anything so phoned back again at 1653 and the girl went home and no one else in the office has a clue about my messed up order. So now a lottery if it will arrive tomorrow, Friday, never?

Absolute shambles. Ordered this nearly 3 weeks ago.

Delivered my suite

Delivered my suite. I was informed that it would be delivered set up and they would ensure that it was working (electric recliners) I was also told I would be contacted 34 hours before delivery. Was called 30 MINUTES before delivery. They arrived dumped my sofa ( 4 seperate parts) and promptly left. I did ask if they were going to build it but they just laughed and said no we are just to deliver. On contacting the company I was told that no they were to build the sofa and ensure all was correct.
Now left with no access to sitting room or dining room as the sofas are blocking both. I am nearly 70 years old with dodgy hip and no family nearby. Brilliant service...NOT.
