Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,356 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. A significant number of consumers report extremely poor service, stating the company is absolutely useless and lacks accountability. Reviewers frequently mention issues where parcels are lost in transit or never arrive, often without adequate tracking updates. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the service was exceptional, noting great communication and a very polite courier. However, some people also felt that delivery drivers neglected instructions, leaving items in full view of the street instead of a safe location. Other individuals noted persistent difficulty in obtaining assistance, such as when customer service emails went unanswered or offered no solutions.

Wrong address multiple times

They have delivered my parcel to the wrong address three times despite being given the right address. Somewhere between me ordering the parcel and them getting the parcel from the vendor, they change the address to a house four doors down. I have complained three times and they’ve done absolutely nothing about it and even had the audacity to blame me even though my correct address is visible to see on their website. Ridiculous company.

Late delivery and battered package :-(

I didn't choose Relay, it was what the seller used and i'd never heard of them before.
Email received in the morning to say that it would be delivered some time between 2.40pm and 6.40pm...and it was delivered just after 9pm!
The box was completely squashed, but thankfully the stuffed toy inside survived the battering...not impressed with Relay if this is how they treat customer packages :-(

Parcel left in unsafe place despite instructions to deliver to a neighbour

When I was informed that delivery would be on a date when I'd be away from home for the weekend, I chose the option to have my package delivered to a (unspecified) neighbour as I did not have a safe place. On the delivery day, I received an email saying the my package had been delivered. I looked at the delivery photo to see which neighbour it had been delivered to. I found that the package had left in my small front garden in full view of anyone passing on the road. Fortunately I was able to contact my nextdoor neighbour who was in to collect the parcel. The delivery driver did not follow instructions to deliver to a neighbour )several neighbours we at home) and they left my parcel in an unsafe place. What was the point allowing me to choose to have delivery to a neighbour when I wasn't in, if the delivery driver was going to leave the parcel on an unsafe place?

Terrible service

Terrible service. Parcel went missing then after cut off period for collection they returned parcel to sender. Several emails exchanged trying to locate parcel but no positive response other than "looking into the situation and we'll get back to you when we have further information#. After a full week so called missing parcel was returned.

absolutely awful

absolutely awful. it's been the only shipping option for a couple of things. one they've helpfully redirected it a 20 mins drive away (they show many collection points closer in my city). the other they have delivered to a place that is permanently closed- so no idea how- but they've said they've delivered it so aren't responsible.

Joke firm

Just received a text saying my delivery (no idea what it is, I order a lot on line), was being delivered to a shop. I don’t want it in a shop, I want it at my house. If I’d wanted to go to a shop I would have gone there and bought it.

There’s a reason this company is 1…

There’s a reason this company is 1 star. Hiring incompetent people to deliver parcels.
Left my parcel on the door (I’m on a main road with a bus stop) but what annoys me the most he left it NEXT TO MY PARCEL BOX !!!! It’s there for a reason ! Honestly no care at all. Won’t be choosing this company again and if I buy and it’s this company I won’t be purchasing.

If I could give relay 0 stars I would

If I could give relay 0 stars I would - courier left the parcel on top of the mail box in full view of the general public - unsurprisingly I have come home to no parcel !!!! Couriers clearly have very little care for the job and why anyone would continue to use a delivery service with a trust pilot score of 1 is beyond me - abysmal
