Thank you, Dr Knorr! We are absolutely thrilled to be your "new champion." Going from an initial enquiry to a completed pickup and packing in just two hours is exactly the kind of gold-standard service we strive to provide for our auction clients.

We really appreciate the 1000 stars—our team will be celebrating this one!

It is fantastic to hear that our Leeds team provided that personal touch you were looking for, Dr Hughes!

Collecting artwork from an auction house requires careful coordination, so we are glad to hear the entire process—from the initial quote to the final UPS delivery—was completely hassle-free. Ensuring your picture arrives in great condition through professional packaging is our top priority.

Thank you for the "without hesitation" recommendation!

You sign up and pay

You sign up and pay, then they take you through 3rd party company verification more than a bank. It glitches and nobody can help. Then you cancel and it takes many messages to get SOME not all of your money back. Terrible amateur service.

We are sincerely sorry for the frustration and the poor experience you had with our verification and refund process, Tabo.

It is clear we fell short of the professional standard we aim to provide. We would like to investigate why the system glitched and why your refund was not processed fully and promptly.

Please reach out to us with your details at marketing@mbe.uk, and we'll look into resolving this for you.

Items arrived damaged and insurance is for nothing.
The service is expensive and I paid extra for insurance. But they are not responsive for the insurance claims, dragging things for two months.
I asked for insurance information multiple times, but all attempts failed. Now I seriously doubt that they actually purchased one.

We are deeply sorry to hear about the damage to your items and the frustration you have experienced with the claims process, S Shin. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide at our Cheltenham branch.

We understand how stressful it is when valuable items are damaged, especially when you have taken the precaution of purchasing cover. We would like to clarify that our "Enhanced Cover" is a professional service we provide directly to protect our customers, and we take our responsibility to resolve these claims very seriously.

Two months is far too long for you to be waiting for a clear update or information regarding your claim. We would like to escalate this immediately to ensure you receive the responsiveness and transparency you deserve.

Please contact the branch manager at Cheltenham directly, or email our head office support team with your tracking and claim reference numbers so we can prioritise a resolution for you.

Best regards,

The Team at Mail Boxes Etc. Cheltenham
