One star, only because no stars is not an option. Quite cheap but there is a reason. Unless you have a package which you don't mind getting lost and never arriving at its destination, I recommend you avoid this company. More details of the painful experience: They didn't collect from the London pick up as agreed as they failed to pass pick up details to the driver, which meant I had to take my envelope containing important papers to their drop point which lost a day. They then lost the envelope which I only found out about when I asked the recipient in New York if they had received it. When I phoned to ask where the envelope was I was told DHL had lost it. It turns out TransGlobal is a freight forwarder which means they don't actually do any deliveries, they just get a lot of packages together and use volume to get a discount from a proper courier company like DHL. It then took almost a month before they accepted that the envelope was lost. Apparently they have to give DHL time to look for it. Their excuse for the time it took was that Christmas came in the middle of all of this. They didn't accept any responsibility for losing the package. I had not taken out additional insurance as there was nothing breakable in the envelope, just legal papers which had been notarised at a cost of £270. I did not expect TransGlobal to lose the package. So when it came to compensation I received the standard £50 plus the cost of the freight. Nothing for the additional cost of second notarisations or my time in getting the papers renotarised, or anything for the opportunity cost of the delay. I am reminded of John Ruskin's quotation: There is hardly anything in this world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey. Do yourself a favour. Use a different courier

Customer service representative (Scott) was unhelpful and not humble enough in reply! Incapable to understanding the issue and trying to cover up with general excuses.

As usual, no problems whatsoever; will continue to use Transglobal!

A terrible experience with this company. My 4-5 day shipment took 8 weeks. Little or no help was provided by Transglobal Express. When I said I wasn't happy I was told (very sarcastically) that I should follow their internal complaints procedure. The shipping process is not made clear from the start and the delivery estimates are very inaccurate - but most importantly the customer service is appalling!

Arrived in good time. But the parcel seemed to have been tampered with - opened and closed. Luckily nothing was missing.

First time using this service, and I was extremely impressed! My package was delivered to South Africa from the UK in like 5 days, with multiple updates along the way. Will definitely use them again in future!

Having used Transglobal on two occasions, I can say that their service is excellent! Competitive prices, great and most helpful staff. It has been an absolute joy using their service.

The booking process on the website is simple to understand and if you have any queries you can call the helpline for in-person guidance. Unbeatable prices.

A very efficient service. I placed the order and my parcel was collected less than 2 hours later. I was able to track its journey and it was delivered safely to New Zealand, with my son getting notification of the delivery.

Collection almost a week late. Had to call repeatedly to get the collection done. No exception reporting with their couriers. Bad service. Need better systems as an online broker. Cust service person very polite on phone but kept telling me they don't have manpower to track missed collections. Then told me they only had about 1 missed collection a day..... really?

I paid £26.27 for next day delivery from UK to USA and the item took nearly 3 weeks to get there !! I could have used Royal Mail and that would have been £9.35 and taken 5-10 days. When I emailed about this and asked for the delivery cost to be reimbursed, you ignored me. Not very impressed .

The service offered was efficient, reasonable and effective. No problem with pick up or delivery time. However, I would have preffered an email advising that delivered. thank you

Appaling service as bad as i have ever expeirenced to be fair. I paid for next day delivery of my essential parcel and DPD picked it up. I knew it would go to a depot so knew it would be next day plus 1. However when i asked the driver to sign the form transglobal asked me to print he flat out refused. When i contacted the number on the website they told me it came in the depot at.13.15. and left at 15.20 i asked where it was. to be told hermes coller=cted it and they did not have a contact for them only an email address. i called every day to be told the same thing hermes had not replied. ^ days later it arrived with the next day delivery sticker covered over . to late for my client and there presentation. PATHETIC, AND NOT EVEN AN OFFER OF A REFUND.
