Super packing and delivery service for Antiques
Staff were very helpful in organising the pick up of Antiques from an auction house. They were very very well packed and super care was taken to ensure they arrived with me in one piece. They weren't easy items but care and attention to detail was definitely a priority. I have no hesitation in recommending them. They kept me informed through the process. Thank you so much - Mags

Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for the wonderful five-star review!
Antiques from auction houses often require specialist care due to their unique shapes and fragile nature. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our team's attention to detail and professional packing ensured your items arrived completely safe and in one piece. Keeping you fully informed throughout the journey is exactly how we try to give our customers peace of mind.
Thank you for your high recommendation, and we look forward to assisting you with any future auction or antique shipments!

This store is never ever open on time
This store is never ever open on time
I sat and watched 8 people walk away in the space of 6 minutes this morning, they open whenever they get there, the service in store is great and the staff are lovely but it’s so frustrating to have to wait for up to 20 mins in the car outside until they turn up. Many people try to post parcels on the way to work and then have to take the parcel away
Frustrating 😞

Hi Katie, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear your kind words about our in-store service and lovely staff, but we believe there may be a case of mistaken identity with a neighbouring business or Post Office. Our PACK & SEND Guildford store opens exceptionally early at 7:30 AM every morning to specifically accommodate commuters, and our team is routinely on-site and open by 7:00 AM. Furthermore, the high volume of early morning foot traffic you described does not align with our usual morning patterns. We pride ourselves on our punctuality, so if you could contact Charlie directly at the store or via guildford@packsend.co.uk, we would love to verify the date of your visit. If this was meant for another shop, we would greatly appreciate it if you could amend or remove the review. Best regards, The Team at PACK & SEND Guildford

Packing perfection!!
The platters that were shipped were extremely breakable and they were packed very well with great care. The shipping was fast and easy, but most importantly, the platters were packed professionally and all arrived safe and unharmed. They were packed in a sturdy wood box with metal enclosures. I really appreciated the care that was taken with the packing.I recommend this delivery service - 10 out of 10!!

Disappointing Experience
What disappointed me most was not only that my parcel took 12 days to arrive instead of the advertised 2–4 days, but the company's response when I complained.
I paid £110 for an express delivery service, yet when the delivery was significantly delayed, I was told that delivery times are not guaranteed and no compensation would be offered. The explanation provided was simply based on the courier's comments, and no responsibility was accepted by Pack & Send.
The recipient was also charged an additional £20 upon delivery, which Pack & Send stated was the courier's responsibility rather than theirs.
My main concern is that the advertised delivery timeframe was a key reason for choosing this service, yet I was never clearly informed that it was not guaranteed.
Overall, I was left with the impression that the customer bears all the risk while the company accepts little accountability when things go wrong. Unfortunately, this experience means I will not be using Pack & Send again.
I used Evri for the similar parcel £45 for a week delivery and they delivered on time, there was no extra charge on recepiant

Hi Morteza,
Thank you for your feedback. Following a thorough review of our booking records, tracking systems, and accounts, we have no record of any customer, transaction, or shipment matching your name, the £110 amount, or the details described in your review.
As PACK & SEND operates across multiple independent service centres as well as an Online Self-Service platform, it appears you have left this review for the incorrect location.
Because we cannot verify this transaction at our Spitalfields branch, please contact the specific service centre or platform you booked with directly, so they can direct your query to the correct party.
