Scammer

Scammer, they should not be in the market. I wish Fair Trade could be engaged in investigation for this service to help protecting buyers right.

worst company ever

worst company ever. Rude and full of it. Should know when their phone message is all about how they will hang up on you if you have a crack at their employees. Lazy pricks. If you want to lose money and annoy your ex customers, use this mob of useless imbeciles!

I purchased a E-bike from Sydney

I purchased a E-bike from Sydney. Unfortunately Hunter Express was the courier. During my shipping I noticed all the bad reviews about Hunter Express in Melbourne. No good with Bulky items, I notified the seller about this and he took action to find out what was happening with my delivery because it was held at the depot for several days that got me concerned. On delivery day the seller contacted me because he saw the picture of the box badly damaged and informed me not to receive the item and send it back to him and the seller said he will refund my money back. I spent $1881 and thanks to Hunter Express for this big headache. Make sure you check and disagree with sellers who use Hunter Express. My tracking number was TBP164134

Our 35kg parcel was delivered to the WRONG address. ABSOLUTELY disgraceful and incoherent service. Unable to contact the company quickly, no response from emails, staff were constantly giving excuses for fixing the situation. MYER Online should dump them as a courier service.

They have my order just sitting at the depot for around 2 weeks. With absolutely no update. None of their contact details work and it is extremely annoying to not have my parcel delivered within Australia. Disappointing! They look like a scam.

Zero stars if I could

Zero stars if I could. Absolutely gutted. I ordered a dining table one month ago from Amart. Their site said 14 day delivery (it was coming East to West). It’s been a month but yesterday I finally got the email saying your driver will be there in an hour. We have no table so I was excited. Finished work early. No delivery. Tracked the driver and his vehicle sat solid in Armadale for over 3 hours. Then around 7pm it said my package went back to the depot. This morning I have emailed and called and spoke to a customer service person who said the driver must have run out of time and they would prioritise my delivery today and someone would call back. I’ve had no call back or communication and no delivery. It’s almost 5pm so I assume it’s not coming. It’s not on. The ups and downs of it’s coming to now zero communication is awful. I’ve waited long enough and will now have to faff about next week when they do decide to deliver. Do not recommend

Absolutely aDo NOT use Hunter Express – Brisbane Depotppalling service from the…

Absolutely appalling service from the Hunter Express Brisbane office. Our item has been sitting in their Brisbane warehouse for over two weeks with no delivery, despite repeated calls and us remaining patient and polite throughout.

We were advised there was a supposed “attempted delivery” a week after the item first arrived. This is categorically untrue. We have multiple cameras covering our driveway and letterbox, and an intercom system that records and rings multiple mobile phones. There was no truck, no attempt, no contact.

After querying this, one genuinely helpful staff member confirmed that their own tracking showed the van never even made it to our suburb—it stopped about 8km away. We were also told that deliveries to our suburb only occur on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Fast forward to this week: we were assured yesterday that the item was “definitely going out today.” When we called today to confirm, the response was a blunt “Oh, that’s still here… might go out tomorrow.” Which, if the earlier advice about delivery days is correct, is complete nonsense.

To make matters worse, today’s customer service representative was extremely rude, dismissive, and downright obnoxious.

We have escalated this through the company we purchased the product from, with no success so far.

This company is disorganised, unreliable, and misleading. If you value your time, money, or sanity, do not use Hunter Express. We certainly never will again, and cannot recommend them under any circumstances.

Appalling Unprofessionalism, didn't bother to collect my package

I booked my pick up, left very clear instructions and spent the day sitting at my front door, which is all clear glass.

The driver never bothered to collect my package, never even got out of the car.
Just sent me an email with a picture of their car dashboard, saying "Today's pickup has been unsuccessful" well of cource they will always be unsuccessful if you never bother to show up to collect the package.

While Alvina was very helpful

While Alvin's was very helpful, Ill never order through Hunter Express ever again. They should research the companies they are delivering for and work together in providing the delivery time that is stated when customer is paying for the merchandise and delivery. 1-2 day delivery not honoured and why my package went from Sydney to Newcastle and the tracking said bound for Gosford. I am 20mins north of Sydney cant understand why? Driving a package up and down the east coast sounds rather stupid as I live in Umina on the Central Coast, not apart of Newcastle, you actually sent it further away. Horrible customer service.

Poor service

Delivery was supposed to arrive Friday. I received email to say a card was left, because I was not at home to receive the item. I was home. Used website to rearrange parcel to be left at address on the Tuesday. No delivery was made. Tracking showed item never left depot. Called customer service. They couldn't explain what happened. Customer service person emailed a request to the depot , and I was told to watch my emails. I received an email to say the item was being redelivered the following day (Wednesday). Again, no delivery, item carded. I called customer service. Very curt customer service advised me no delivery was made because I live upstairs (first floor) and a phone call was made to me by the driver. I explained that I don't answer calls from unknown numbers, but driver could have left a voicemail message. I was rudely told I should answer my phone and I could schedule for redelivery after after the following Friday. I said I’d like it tomorrow. The customer service person just kept repeating that they could reschedule for any day after Friday. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was curtly told I couldn't speak to a supervisor because "this is not an escalation". I repeated that I wanted to speak to a supervisor. The person hung up. The person I spoke to was defensive from the outset and at times quite rude. The person kept speaking over me and repeatedly threatened to terminate the call every time I tried to speak over her.

I had to send an ebike back to a melb company from sydney i used hunter express. I kept ringing and the package had not been received. Finally after alot of phone calls they had mistakingly sent the package to perth, can you believe that. But it gets worse. Instead of sending the package to the correct address in melb they brought it all the way back to sydney and had to start the process all over again. It still gets worse. The customer received the package and it was damaged
These guys are totally incompetant and ill never use them again

DON'T USE THEM!!!!!!

Seriously if i could leave 0 stars I would. There is absolutely nothing Express about Hunter Express. They have had my delivery for 2 weeks. There has been 2 public holidays so lets say 8 business days. Every time I call, its scheduled for delivery but the next day I get the same thing. Their customer service is a goddamn joke. After following up again, after it wasn't scanned for delivery today, it will now be up to another two days. Lets see what they have to say on Wednesday. Bet I'll calling again

Do not ever use this company even if they are the only courier in the whole country

Item ordered from Big W Marketplace, shipped with Hunter Express. Last tracking scan was 12/12/2025 with expected delivery 22/12/2025......item is now lost and can not be found anywhere.
Hunter Express customer service staff are rude and have no interest in helping at all. I am starting to think my item has been stolen and I will never receive it

Part of order was never delivered

Had two rugs that were meant to be delivered. One was delivered late and they told me there was a delay with the second rug and it would be here the following week. More than two weeks later and no rug, no communication. Tracking says it has been delivered. Useless

I would give zero stars if I could

I would give zero stars if I could. I don’t know how this company can call themselves a logistics company when they cannot even deliver and meet quoted expectation timelines. My order is more than weeks late and every customer service agent tells you to call back the following day, essentially having you deal with someone else.
