Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the delivery service, highlighting promptness and efficiency. Many consumers appreciate being kept informed about their parcel's progress through tracking updates and notifications. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff, particularly the delivery drivers, are frequently commended. Reviewers often mention specific drivers by name, expressing gratitude for their courteous and helpful service. Consumers appreciate the punctuality of deliveries, with many noting that their parcels arrived within the specified time slot, sometimes even earlier than expected. The flexibility of the service, including the option to have parcels delivered to a neighbor or left in a safe place, is also valued. However, opinions on the location and product aspects are mixed, indicating a lack of consensus among reviewers.

My parcel which contained food was left by the conservatory door in the pouring rain. There is a covered area right next to it so cant understand why it wasn't placed there where it would have been dry. The box was soaked and ripped.
