Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,850 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently complain that deliveries take weeks to arrive without any updates, while customer support completely ignores messages when issues arise. Customers also reported receiving completely wrong items or finding their parcels left outdoors in unsafe locations. However, some people mentioned that their packages arrived promptly and tracking notifications were clear and helpful. A few reviewers were genuinely happy with convenient local shop drop-off points, helpful staff, and polite couriers during collection. Others noted that their orders were successfully delivered right on time with zero issues encountered along the way.

Vinted order got mixed up by Relay. I ordered a nice white jumper, I got a coffee pot. It's like a random gift generator, rather than a courier service. First time I ever used them, terrible. Delivery... See more

Incompetence at it's finest

Placed two orders with Shein, one was "attempted" on Monday but failed due to an issue with my address. I checked and everything is correct so I have no idea. Now, three days later they're still not trying to deliver order #1 despite Shein showing as issue resolved (even though nothing changed)
I do not believe they even tried as nobody else has issues finding where I live ... even Evri can find it and don't lob deliveries in a random gardens.

Relay are by far the worst delivery company I’ve ever come across. They received my parcel as myself and the retailer have evidence they picked it up. But they stole it and cancelled my order, I wasn’t able to claim back delivery cost. They stole a precious gift for my grandson. Disgusting customer service and ignored every email I sent.

Terrible lost 6 of my parcels this week.
Tracking is awful the worst ive seen.
Updates take days to update if it even updates at all.
Parcels may not even arrive...
Customer service is non exisentent...you submit a request through email and your told it will be reviewed in 72hrs and someone will get back to you....they absolutly never do.

AVOID USING THIS DELIVERY SERVICE
VERY BAD.

I NOW REFUSE TO USE THIS SERVICE TO BUY OR SELL ITEMS. And will now use every service but this one.

Use at your own risk of loosing your parcels. 0/10 trash service

A blind, one winged carrier pigeon could do better

Wish you could leave 0 stars.
No one responds when you "create a ticket".
Vinted need to cease trade with this shambles of a courier.
You've taken on more than you can chew Relay!

They make Evri look incredible!

If you are about to buy anything from Vinted, check if the courier is Relay and if so...DO NOT BUY. You wont receive the item.

I think I'd trust a blind carrier pigeon with one wing to do a better job

This company is terrible

This company is terrible. Packages just stop moving after being picked up from the collection shop. I have paid them to deliver my package. If they are a delivery company that is what they should do.

Shocking - avoid at all costs

Absolutely awful. Had a package with them being delivered from the USA that I ordered mid August. It got to the end of September and the tracking status still said "on its way." I sent numerous complaints and messages and only now have they admitted that the parcel was lost and they will get me a refund. But it's not just international shipping, even parcels shipped with them from the UK seem to get lost or take 3 weeks for a delivery that was supposed to be 3 days. I should've learnt my lesson the first time and just avoided them. Delivery that cheap will never be good.

Terrible company!

Terrible company, I cannot believe anyone would ship with them. Ordered from Vinted and they’ve messed around with the parcel and provided mixed information, horrid communication. No idea what’s happening!

Absolutely shocking service from Relay

Absolutely shocking service from Relay. The delivery staff have repeatedly arrived at the student accommodation complex I manage and, rather than bringing parcels into reception to be handed over safely and securely, as every other courier does, they simply dump them around the grounds for anyone to pick up.

This is completely unacceptable. Residents pay for their items and trust that their deliveries will arrive safely, yet I’m left dealing with upset residents who have had parcels go missing because they have been left unattended in communal areas.

This is not a one-off incident; it is a recurring issue. It shows a complete lack of care, professionalism and responsibility. Parcels should be delivered securely, not abandoned for anyone to take.

Relay urgently needs to address this issue and ensure its drivers follow proper delivery procedures. Residents deserve better than this.

Paid for home delivery. Got collection point delivery instead. THREE TIMES.

Three times Relay has failed to deliver my Vinted parcels to my home, instead taking them to an inconvenient collection point without my consent. Their excuse? They couldn't find my address, despite having successfully delivered there before.

I've paid extra for home delivery, not an hour-long round trip to collect my parcels.

Complaints to Relay have gone unanswered, while Vinted has been equally unhelpful.

The worst part isn't even the inconvenience, it's the complete lack of accountability. Customers pay for a service, don't receive it, and are left to deal with the consequences.

Appalling service, zero accountability and absolutely no respect for customers.

Absolutely diabolical service

Absolutely diabolical service, if packages actually do arrive, they are always late, even when marked as out for delivery, for multiple days, some times even get that delivery was attempted, even though CCTV proves otherwise. The company is NOT fit for purpose.
