Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 32 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the tracking information useless and inaccurate, with estimated delivery times constantly changing or being completely unreliable, leading to prolonged waiting periods. People frequently reported issues with communication, stating there was often no prior notice for delivery attempts or updates, and some experienced multiple failed deliveries without notification. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the delivery service, praising the drivers for being helpful, friendly, and professional, often going above and beyond expectations. These positive experiences highlighted drivers who were able to expertly maneuver heavy loads, place items conveniently, and provide good communication prior to arrival.

Spot-on delivery

Spot-on delivery. Quick and reliable. Driver friendly and very helpful. Kept informed of the progress of my pallet which was delivered safely (It included glass!)

Incompetent

Incompetent delivery company had my delivery at there depot for over a week before delivery probably would still have it now if I hadn't contact the company I purchased it from.
Gave it a 2 instead of 1 as delivery driver was good.

I wish I could no give any stars for…

I wish I couldn’tgive any stars for this joke of a company but in order to write this review I had to leave 1 star. Do not use this company under any circumstances! Totally unprofessional, the driver was very rude and had my sister in tears and when I complained, the person at the end of the phone didn’t care. Absolutely appalling.

Highly professional

Sorry for those who've had a bad experience as mine was completely different. Blown away with the level of care from Dave via email, who was so accommodating in my request. All departments spoke to each other so there were no crossed wires. My request was passed onto Dave, who passed it onto the delivery driver. Super impressed! Didn't have to repeat myself once!! Thank you so much, Keeley

ABYSMAL and UNPROFESSIONAL

ABYSMAL! UNCARING! UNRELIABLE!

I had people booked to install some equipment but TPN never bothered to uplift a 7 grand order they'd guaranteed to deliver today. They didn't bother to contact me either. I only found out by digging.

If your company relies upon a courier, find another or risk them ruining your business. The dole is crying out for these people!

Unhelpful and wasteful

Driver rang my phone from the kerb side, had to be cajoled to bring the package, complete with pallet through the front door and then he promptly left everything and scarpered. We now have to dispose of a perfectly serviceable pallet and in addition the outer cardboard packaging was completely sodden.

I’ve had numerous deliveries by the pallet network. Nearly always the same delivery man. Polite, on time, professional and helpful. Always a good experience, thank you.

Great service

I have just received a large item delivery from a very polite and helpful young man named Ryan from depot 079. He went out of his way to make sure my item was placed securely and safe. The delivery was on day and time as promised. I am elderly and live on my own and appreciated his efforts. Thankyou

Liars. Liars liars.

If I could give zero or minus10, I would. Company lies through their teeth. 3 pickups scheduled and each time I waited. No sign of them. They lied each time with excuses that were silly bordering on farcical. Do not trust them. Take your business elsewhere.

A guy named Andy…

The most personal and friendly customer service! Such a lovely guy named Andy delivered our pallet and went above and beyond to get it to where it needs to be. Very grateful!

Above and beyond - lovely friendly personal service

Telford Branch could not have been more helpful. The company I ordered off had made a repeat mistake and the Telford depot sorted it out for me the first time and drew my attention to it the second. Bloody brilliant!
All staff I dealt with actually cared and were very kind and helpful.

The driver was the rudest most arrogant person I've ever met. Most unpleasant man on the planet. Shouldn't be working in a customer facing role. The pallet network really need to look at some of the drivers it's providers use.

Complete joke of a delivery company

Complete joke of a delivery company, they don’t even deliver on the day they are due, then make up excuses, sad thing is that the company’s that use them are getting their reputations tarnished by this rubbish company

Failed delivery

Paid for before 10:30 delivery of a commercial dishwasher to a WC2 address. Waited all morning on site from 07:30. Contacted my dishwasher supplier and was first informed that in actual fact pre 10:30 deliveries can’t be carried out in the area and it should have been before 12:00 pm. Waited until 12:00, no delivery. Further phoned the supplier and was told driver was on route and would be about 20 minutes. Waited until 12:50 with still no delivery. Was forced to contact supplier and cancel the delivery until another day as restaurant now open and half full of customers.
This cost me a lost days work and now having to re arrange everything for the intended installation on Monday. Yours Les Frank
