I have had 17 parcels go missing recently. I have now been told I cannot claim for some even though I first required within 30 days of collection. This company continually fobs me off to delay me being able to claim. Avoid this company else it will cost your business

Spurious overweight charges without any evidence Habit of sending additional handling charges from DPD without ever providing evidence, no mention of what the parcel weight was or pictures.

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.

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!

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 .

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.

Order Details: TP-3926124 Small parcel sent to Australia on 31st October containing gifts for grandson’s birthday. Service quoted 6 to 9 days but took 24 days and missed his birthday. Very disappointed. Have used your service for several years without a problem so very surprised with poor service this time. Contacted your customer service who didn’t provide any explanation other than to advise of delay and to keep checking online tracking.

Horrendous service we still haven’t received our package that they claimed had been delivered and did zero to help resolve the situation I’m shocked any company wants to use them to transport their customer orders

I'm always amused when companies who have delivered the most shocking service fall foul of their own pre-programmed review requests. So, Transglobal, you've asked me "how did we do?". Hmmm, where do I start... possibly with the fact that 21 days in the package is still stuck in France. Or maybe I should mention that I've had to put all business in the EU on hold for 3 weeks while TNT flounder with my shipment. Ah, then there are the compulsive lies and vacuous promises I've been fed by both Transglobal and TNT/Fedex for three weeks straight; the utter incompetence and ineptitude to solve any problems; the inability to take responsibility or offer recourse or compensation. The apathy towards the plight of my business due to no stock arriving. The refusal to process a lost parcel claim until TNT/Fedex classify the parcel as "lost" (which they'll never do). So, to answer your question Transglobal, your service levels have been shocking, your ability to do anything useful at all staggeringly inept. In all of this you have ignored the one thing which keeps your business afloat - the customer. But, you're in good company - from what I can tell this approach is all the rage these days.

Parcel was dropped off at designated drop point but was not picked up until I chased it a week later and it was still laying in the drop location .it ended up being over a week late. Still waiting for explanation as promised by you.

Disappointing. Parcel collected as promised and shipped all the way to destination. Parcel then returned for no reason. Transglobal confirmed address was correct and delivery should have occurred. No tracking on return journey with estimated arrival of 8 weeks!

Collected first pallet fine but on wanting it to be returned to Manchester, packed exactly the same way, was picked up then returned for packing, we repacked it again. It was collected again and the returned 2 days later again saying packing was not good. On speaking to Transglobal it would appear they have no control over collection/deliveries as they out source. I cancelled transport and got it done by Palletways without any fuss.
