Dodgy routes

For some strange reason my parcel coming to the UK from Spain, which is already late, has gone to the Netherlands first? That's a bit illogical considering if it came to the UK it could've been with me already.

Dear Josh,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We understand that the routing of an international shipment can sometimes appear unusual, particularly when it seems to move away from its final destination before continuing its journey.

Spring GDS operates through international logistics networks, and parcels may pass through sorting hubs in different countries before being handed over to the next carrier or delivery partner. While this routing can occasionally add transit time, it is part of the distribution process used for many international shipments.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your experience.

Sorry folks another terrible review

Sorry folks, yet another terrible review. I'm still waiting on a package from Italy to Ireland that has now been in transit for 20 days and I'm resigning myself to it never arriving.
I contacted the vendor for the item I ordered and they've suggested it might come by the end of this week. I'm not hopeful.
To put it another way. I went onto Google maps and worked out that if I walked from Italy and for the sea going portions of the trip, I used a rowing boat instead of taking a ferry, I'd have the item by now.

Update 29/12/2022:
The item finally arrived today, after being in transit for 24 days (Italy to Ireland).

The term broken, doesn't even begin to describe it. It was utterly destroyed.

Well done. You had one job to do and you managed to fail to do that on every level.

Dear Liam,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how frustrating it can be when a shipment takes significantly longer than expected, particularly when tracking updates provide limited visibility and expectations are not met. We also regret to hear that the parcel arrived damaged after the extended transit time.

Spring GDS serves business customers shipping internationally, and transit times can sometimes be affected by transportation networks, customs processing, and handovers between delivery partners. However, we understand that this does not lessen the disappointment caused by delays and damage to a shipment.

Horrid service

I can see now that parcels arriving in 2 months time or never is a normal thing. I don't even know why I am wasting my time writing this. I am expecting a parcel from Trekkinn, the order was placed on 4th Dec...... still waiting for it.
I have no words for you...
Thanks a million for ruining Xmas for me!!!!!!!

Based on other reviews my situation seems to be normal. Looking for an update as my package has no update from Dec 5th when it was in the Netherlands. LS580067356NL

I ordered it on Dec 2 for Christmas and that should be plenty of time to arrive in the US. Any update?

Dear Molly,

Over 6 weeks now and still no parcel

Over 6 weeks now and still no parcel. It just goes from hub to hub and has already visited 3 hubs TWICE?!?!?!?! Why has it gone back to a hub it has already been to?
This order was from Crucial Technology and I wish I'd just ordered from Amazon for the £10 extra and next day delivery.
Edit thank you for your reply 3 and a half years late hahaha what a joke of a company.

This people are horrible

This people are horrible. I have been waiting for my parcel all day long, they don’t even provide you with estimation time. At 16 the message in a tracking website appeared saying that i was absent. I can’t describe my anger at this point, spending all day home with no ring on the door just to read “ops u were absent”. When i tried to find a customer hotline or anything to reach out to this people - 404 not found on all their pages. Literally the worst delivery company i can imagine.

Dear Alexandra,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how frustrating it can be to wait at home for a delivery, only to see a delivery attempt recorded when no contact was made. We also appreciate your concerns regarding the lack of estimated delivery times and the difficulty you experienced when trying to find support.

Spring GDS serves business customers shipping internationally and, in many cases, works with local delivery partners for the final delivery stage. Delivery updates and attempted delivery notifications are therefore dependent on information provided through those networks.

Avoid any company that uses this courier

Avoid any company that uses this courier.

At the moment a package that was sent by Crucial from Prague in the Czech Republic took three days to arrive in Holland en route to the UK. Slow, but acceptable, and at least the tracking details are good and detailed. On the same day that it arrived in Holland it was marked as being dispatched, presumably towards the UK. I have to assume further that the means of transport was catapult, since now, four days later, it has simply vanished, with no indication as to where it is.

To add to my frustration it is simply not possible to contact Spring. Any attempts to link through to their main website and/or contact details bring up a message warning that the website address in question is not safe.

Crucial are no more helpful, since they are no more able than I am to retrieve any information. At least they have assured me that, after 10 business days the package will be assumed to be lost, and they will give me a refund.

Update on 2nd December.

Still no delivery, and no indication that Royal Mail, to whom Spring were supposed to hand over the package have received it. It supposedly left The Hague eight days ago.

Crucial, who engaged this courier, have not been much more helpful. They insist that I wait until ten business days have passed before they will "help" me with a refund. Oh, and ten business days does not mean from the date that I put in the order; it means the date from which the item left their factory.

No wonder Amazon can make so much money!

Extremely slow

Sadly, I have felt the reason why so many people gives Spring 1 stars reviews.
My sad story:
5 days (!) from parcel created to accepted (Spain)
5 days to arrive to country of destination (Denmark)
7 days to deliver

17 days in total from Spain to Denmark?

I can only recommend companies finding alternatives to Spring to send their stuff, or they too will get bad reviews and losing customers due to this sluggish service. This is not what you expect in a modern Europe.
On the positive side, the parcel eventually arrived...

Unreliable, Super Slow, Inaccurate Tracking Information. Purchased on Spacenk twice, August 8 and August 26, and both orders went missing. How lucky I am! I spent a whole month just getting my money back for the first order, and now I am afraid I have to go through the same bureaucratic process the second time around.

Missing birthday gift…

Ordered a gift for a family member on Siroko 26 August. Still no package. Simply says, “en route to final destination.” I mean, aren’t we all? Having lived in NL for years, I know the PostNL is notoriously horrible. Had I known this Spanish company was going to use this service, I would not have ordered this gift. No responses to any messages- and no updates since the 9th. They can do better. Wasted money. #LS558130780NL

Parcel arrived today. Feel slightly bad leaving review now. If I'd been told by BikeInn that it would be ten days for delivery then I wouldn't of been so stressed about it. 1star to a 4.

Without doubt the slowest delivery company I've ever know , it's taken over a week for my package to move a few hundred miles from Prague to the Hague ,,then according to their tracking it sat there for 24hrs and has now been in transit from the Hague to the UK for two days but the royal mail haven't received it ,, are they on foot or swimming across the North sea or something ,,after reading the reviews here I'd advise not ordering anything from a company that uses this delivery service you'll either not get it or it'll turn up massively late ,, if I could actually get in touch with them no doubt they'd have some sort of lame excuse I'd give them a minus review if I could

Has been 3 weeks, no delivery

Has been 3 weeks, my package didnt arrive. In tracking it seems like they attempt delivery but have not enough information to do it. Which is nonsense because they did deliver me the exact same package a month ago. Anyhow, this is status from 21.7. since then nothing. I have sent 2 email, 2 attempt contacts thru “app” and also contacted them on FB. Noone did reply except on FB and I was said he is “social media” person and cant help.
