Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 87 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently encountered severe delivery delays, lost parcels, and items left in completely insecure locations without any prior warning or communication whatsoever. Additionally, consumers reported that customer service agents were unhelpful, extremely rude, and very difficult to reach when trying to resolve urgent problems. Many customers also expressed deep dissatisfaction regarding the overall handling of bulky and heavy goods. Though some reviewers faced significant issues, a small group of consumers were actually satisfied with timely and smooth deliveries of their purchases arriving in great condition. These buyers noted that their parcels arrived precisely as expected without any notable damage or unexpected complications.

The customer service is terrible

The customer service is terrible. I called to get information about my order, and the woman answered the phone aggressively from the start and hung up. When I called back, she kept the same rude and disrespectful attitude. When I questioned her about it, she said I was the rude one and that I shouldn’t be disrespectful to a woman, trying to twist the situation. Then she hung up on me again. This is the worst customer service. People like that shouldn’t be working in this job."

If there was any service, it would be the worst i have ever experienced!

I contacted the company as they misdirected my package. It has been with their Dubbo branch for days. I explained that I needed the package urgently and the only response I got was, there is nothing we can do. I than offered to drive to Dubbo and collect the package myself and was then told, I can not do that. There was absolutely no effort to try and assist me.
So, sorry, there is nothing we can do, it will take a couple of days to sort out, was all I was told

Ordered something over 2 weeks ago...

Ordered something over 2 weeks ago and it has been sitting in the same warehouse the entire time (which is 30 mins from me). Next to impossible to contact them or get anything helpful. Honestly I would pay more in shipping to avoid these clowns.

DO NOT USE! WARNING!

DO NOT USE!! Warning, the bad reviews are legitimate!! Ruined my sons birthday having the item sit in their depot ( in the same town) as i am for 12 days! Had it for over 2 weeks after picking up from where it was purchased it. Unhelpful- buck passing customer service. Endless
emails and text messages saying it was coming and never arrived. Returning back to depot when supposedly 'on board.' Told delivery drivers "don't come out my way everyday" WHY then accept packages from a business if you can't deliver it within a 2 week time frame? 1 box ! Heavy but small and caused so many stories to be told, excuses and buck passing. NIGHTMARE worst i have ever encountered and I buy a lot online. There's no excuse to go in and scan a package daily sitting on your warehouse floor for almost 2 weeks in the same region your customer is in and not give a care how long they've been waiting. Nothing good to report- box was even beat up and almost spilling out.

Hunter express review

This company were supposed to deliver 3 boxes on 17 March (a fairly simple task you'd think). 2 boxes were delivered, and the van returned to the depot with the other box. Again yesterday we were assured by the people we ordered off that the missing box would arrive, but no, on the tracking it was returned to the depot again. There is no way to contact this company, they have no customer service dept or complaints, and from reading other reviews, we don't expect to get our bed anytime soon. If you're thinking about using Hunterexpress.com dont!! There service is anything but express!!

No dramas

Experience was no different to aus post. Have bought a couple things lately that have used Hunter Express to transport. Was concerned after reading these reviews, which is what's prompted me to leave my own after my couple of deliveries. Everything arrived in perfectly good order and condition. No damage at all to any boxes. My deliveries all had multiple boxes to make it together from SA to Cairns. No problems. I know generally only people with really bad experiences bother to leave reviews so here I am to counter.

Terrible service

Terrible service. If you’re a business depending on a reliable courier look elsewhere.
My item is stuck at a depot and when I offered to collect it from there they said that it needs to be communicated to the depot. It’s a pity that they don’t consider communicating with customers in the same manner.
When asked for the reason for not delivering the response was that it’s due to delays. I pushed on as to what these delays are and eventually they admitted that they don’t have any drivers.
How can a courier company operate without drivers? You would think that this would be the #1 item they would have.
Anyway, now that my plans for this week are in disarray my only advice would be that you ask anyone who is sending you products be asked who with to avoid disappointment.

Driver incompetent and customer service as bad

I received a notification my item had been delivered before I left home that morning. It had not been delivered - at least not to my address. I ultimately tracked it down myself to an address 10km away from mine. The driver appears to have got lost (How??) and just left at a random house so he could return to depot. He didn't even advise that home owner that he had left it on her verandah. Fortunately for me her daughter-in-law recognised the property from the photo I put on FB. It took days for Hunter Express to attempt to chase things down with the driver. Why did he not a) deliver correctly or b) return my item to the depot? No one will ever know! For future purchases I will be asking which courier company will be used and if its Hunter Express I will cancel my purchase.

Substandard is their motto

Dear Hunter Express,
As you deliberately make it impossible for your "valued customers" to register issues through your website, I am using the only method of contact you provide.

Contrary to what your website boasts, I have found your organisation to be anything but customer friendly.

In regards to consignment CHPxxxxxxx:
The disregard for other persons property on display by your organisation is not acceptable.
1.There is and was someone home at this address, the driver was too lazy to check, so the terms of the ATL have been breached
2. The parcel which weighs 30+kgs was left out on the street, ie, the driver couldn't even be bothered to take it onto the property, so again the terms of the ATL have been breached as the delivery was not left in a safe place,
3. The person who lives there (permanently on the property) is an invalid and there is no way she can carry/drag a 30+ kg parcel from the street to the house which is about 50 metres away, let alone drag it up stairs.

This is not the first time we have had substandard service from your company. Pride in your work is clearly not part of the company motto. I will be passing this feedback onto the company we purchased the goods from.

Beware of Hunter Express

Beware of Hunter Express – A Shady and Irresponsible Company!

Last month, I received a delivery from Hunter Express, and their reckless driver demolished half of my sandstone wall in the driveway. Since then, I’ve made countless attempts to contact the company to address the damage and compensate me, but they have blatantly ignored my letters and multiple emails. Their complete disregard for responsibility is appalling.

To make matters worse, when confronted, the driver claimed he didn’t even have a license! Miraculously, he "found" it only after I threatened to involve the police—highly suspicious behavior for a supposed professional delivery service.

This company’s dishonest tactics and shady operations have now forced me to take legal action. I urge everyone: DO NOT trust Hunter Express with your deliveries. Their negligence, deception, and refusal to take accountability should be a massive red flag for anyone considering their services.

DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! EXTREMELY Poor Service

DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!
Delivery 3 weeks late. Arrived yesterday with 2 of the 3 boxes, they had no idea where the 3rd box was. Took the 2 boxes back and stated can't leave if the order is not complete. I called them, they said they'd escalate to Manager and get them to call me and never heard anything. Called again today, they said the driver broke down and left us message - total lie, because I spoke to the driver myself. No message was received at all.
2 out of 3 items delivered today while I was on the phone to them (despite saying they couldn't do that yesterday!!! They hung up mid conversation while I was clarifying with the driver about the 3rd box.
Now trying to say there is an issue with the scanning of the 3rd item and they will try to get delivered, but not sure how long that will take. Let's see how ling this takes. Very Poor Customer Service on the phone and blatantly lied to me to cover up.
Asked to speak to a manager - they refuse to make contact with us. Have escalated to the Ombudsmen to get delivery fee back and potential compensation for missed client business as a result of poor service from them.

DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!

ATROCIOUS!

PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM! They'll damage your goods then deny you of any compensation. Packages go missing then appear weeks later, broken. Their response is pretty much 'Oh well, sucks to be you' because you didn't take all the special warranty which doesn't cover your goods anyway. The back of the delivery vans look like a bomb went off in there, fragile packages thrown all over the place, disgusting company.

This is the worst of the worst…

This is the worst of the worst companies to ever use for any Delivery nationwide. They don’t know how to deliver and their drivers are incompetent. Do not use them whatsoever. You get your Delivery promise to you but three weeks later it hasn’t been delivered. The drivers don’t know what they’re doing so word of advice. Do not use these people.

Hunter NON express!

Worst experience with a courier company in my life! Firstly, they lost part of the package (excuse - they only received 1 of 2 packages - not true, then the driver could not find my address (excuse - new driver), then they delivered half of the delivery after my constant harassing with phone calls (this time regular driver who was told the rest was already delivered - not true), finally after nearly 3 weeks - I have received the full delivery. PS Harry who was the regular drive was great and ensured that the final package was delivered first in his run - thanks Harry

Rude pathetic delivery service.

I had a mattress delivered bought through BIGW on Sunday morning without warning. Driver just rang door bell and dumped it and ran off. I tried calling out to him to ask if he could help me bring it in as I have just had spinal surgery but he just shouted get a neighbour to help and drove off.
