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.

These company is the worst in England…

These company is the worst in England and the whole of Europe, I have never ever seen rude driver in my whole life, they were trusted to deliver my furniture by dreamhomestore.co.uk, one driver came I think his name was Martin and he dumped the furniture outside in a pallet, I said to him this furniture has not been delivered because I can't take it inside by myself, when I bought it, the pic showed 2 men job, just one turned up with a forklift, I had to refuse delivery ,he asked me to sign, I thought I was signing to say I had refused it, so I did, the driver took the furniture back, load it and go, but he reported it has been delivered to me and I signed for it. Mean while Dreamhouse refused to refund my money back because they said the furniture had been delivered.Luckly had recorded everything so am going to expose these idio*ts and also report them to the governing body. This company is a scam

The worst customer service I’ve ever received

Spoke to a “customer service manager” named Emma. I don’t know her second name as she refused to give it. The company said my street wasn’t wide enough to deliver when I blatantly is. They wouldn’t even drop it at the end of the road where they apparently drove to. I don’t think they even bothered to come and just looked on a map and thought “nah can’t be bothered”

Emma’s customer service was abysmal, kept talking over me and just being blatantly rude. Avoid this firm like the plague

So bad I genuinely thought it was a wind up.

Company rang 2 weeks after order was placed but never left voicemail. 2 days later had an email from the supplier saying I was going to be charged £5 a day for storage! Sent tracking that didn't work. Had to speak to a horrible old boot to finally arrange delivery... tried to call me elusive!

Day of delivery.. could they redeem themselves? Guy showed up and complained there wasn't a drop curve on my street so would have to leave it in the road...he promptly did and drove off. Had to drag the parcel in with help from a neighbour. Unbelievable!

Mark he is the MD

Mark he is the MD
Robert is a warehouse boss
Philip is a warehouse boss

After speaking to all of the above regards a pallet there network tampered with and this was on CCTV they choose to play games with me

Game ON

Avoid and do not use this firm or this network.

A parlce of mine is booked via a webiste called speedshift they then use the pallet network to collect my parcle who use a company called jonen to collect the pallet....

Anyways the pallet is damaged during delivery ( this happened twice )

The responsible party did not report this as a damage and decided to deliver the pallet.. (that's not professional is it)

Well thank god for CCTV

Mark the MD never got back to me not sure why
He really needs to get off that high horse and acknowledge the fact they f'd up.

After reading this make your own choice

Mark I'm still waiting for your call
How was the holiday....

What a useless company

What a useless company. No tracking details available. Had to rely on product supplier to ring them to get eta. All were false eta. Still waiting for delivery 4 hrs after original eta. Do not buy products which rely on on this company for delivery

I've had to lots of pallets delivered

I've had to lots of pallets delivered, contacted them via phone on the day and both arrived around 3-5pm in windsor.
One on a two day service and one on a three day, for the price, it seems very reasonable and so far a great service delivery 7 pallets.

Truly shoddy

Even by the shoddy standards of the parcel delivery industry they are stand out dreadful. From missing delivery dates, unanswered calls, a message service on their website that won’t send your message, an app that won’t download and a customer service number that isn’t customer service. P!ss poor

poor service

poor service, they have no idea on when your pallets will be delivered. Hope for the best if your sub-contractors have used them!

Awful Service

We booked the pallet network to deliver our product due to our usual haulier being too busy. Awful experience from the get go, driver was joking about how bad the depot was and they don't take care of the pallets etc. which turned out not to be a joke as they depot destroyed a pallet of our product due to their lack of care. This was at the beginning of July, 2 weeks later the client phoned us asking where their goods were so I chased up their delivery however had no response from TPN. I chased up for weeks to finally be told the goods had been damaged and were just sitting outside their depot, I then requested a refund mid August as the goods were deemed undeliverable. I have been chasing up the refund every since! 10000% DO NOT recommend this company.

No complaints from me!

Very friendly driver put my sofa and chair as close to the door as possible. He removed the pallet for me, no complaints from me.

What a disgusting service

What a disgusting service. Given promised delivery dates twice only to be disappointed after waiting in. Promised an update phone call. You guessed, no call.

Paid for next day

Paid for next day, got it 4 days later. No apology. No refund. There is nothing more frustrating than a company who will go to extreme lengths to make you feel that you are in the wrong for complaining rather than going the extra mile to deliver on time.

Spot On

Great service. My pallet was delivered next day, exactly as they said it would. Sounds simple but other companies that offer the same thing have failed miserably!

Friendly and professional driver who ensured the pallet was left where I wanted it.

Spot on!

Very helpful & pleasant driver

The driver that brought our aggregate could not have been more pleasant he went out of his way to be helpful and got it all on our drive leaving room for our car. The reason for the missing star is because probably because they are busy our order was not on the date promised but this could have been due to the company using them

If I could give this a minus score I…

If I could give this a minus score I would. Pallet collected on a next day service last week to arrive Thursday. Didn't arrive - promised Friday Didn't arrive Promised Saturday -Didn't arrive. and again today. You get the drift and it goes on and on.
Online Tracker says delivery attempted Sat am .. UTTER LIE !!! I find today the pallet is still in a hub in Birmingham and it should be in London. They are overloaded, cant cope yet still taking business and lying about the situation.
Problems happen sometimes LYING is always avoidable. This firm cannot be trusted with your goods !
