Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the high quality of the boxes and the efficiency of the delivery service, often noting that items arrived on time or even earlier than expected. Many appreciate the constant updates throughout the order process and the helpfulness of the staff in ensuring timely deliveries. However, some people were dissatisfied with the delivery service, particularly regarding "next day delivery" claims, which occasionally resulted in significant delays. There were also instances where product descriptions were considered misleading, with some boxes not meeting expected quality or strength, leading to issues like collapsing under weight or arriving damaged.

The company needs to be a bit clearer about what "next day delivery" means on their website. They have a description in their Ts and Cs which is fine, but they don't display the same detail du... See more

Complete disappointment

In the build up to moving house, I placed two orders for moving boxes and paid for next day delivery on both orders. 3 days later, I receive notifications stating both orders had been delivered.

When I got back home, only one of the orders had arrived so I contacted the customer support email. I have since been ignored so I have requested a refund for the order that hasn't been delivered.

Overall a pretty useless experience, I will not be using them again. Moving house is already stressful as it is without this adding to it.

Not exactly having good experiences

First, we chose next-day delivery, but customer service said they could not locate our address, so we not only didn't receive the parcel the next day, but we also had to collect it ourselves in a convenience shop. For the record, I have already made sure that the address is correct. So, we do not understand how our address cannot be found, as this has never happened to any other parcels with the same address from different websites.
Secondly, the quality of the boxes is not very strong and sturdy. The wall was very thin and easy to break. We used the boxes to put our stuff in to move houses; it couldn't last long.

Great product

Great product and good communication regarding shipment and delivery. Next day delivery paid for but it took two days to arrive. This was the only problem.

AVOID

I ordered boxes, bubble wrap and packing tape on 27/12/24, it arrived the next day. However, all the boxes and bubblewrap had a damp/musty smell, not good if packaging clothes. I even tried to air them outside my flat door overnight! I complained on 30/12 and I received a rude response, implied that I was lying, agreed to give me a refund which has never been received. I have wasted time repacking so I can use the boxes, but a lot are torn or pieces of cardboard missing. Was my order made up from a reject pile by a temp ? Regardless, very poor customer service.

LATE DELIVERY…

I paid for next day delivery and received items weeks later. Item was delivered but couldn't serve it's purpose because of late delivery.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I wanted next day delivery but accidentally paid for 3-5 working day delivery. I emailed and asked if I could pay the difference and still get next day. They responded straight away and said that they’ll send it next day at no extra cost. Will definitely use again, great customer service!
