Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear your delivery was delayed and not received as expected.
As a carrier management company, our service is to provide multi-carrier software, collection and delivery support to retailers however, Whistl do not provide a courier service directly to carry out any deliveries to the end point ourselves.
If you have not already done so, we would certainly recommend reporting this with the retailer you had purchased from however, if you would like to respond our request, a member of our team will be happy to reach out to understand further detail and ensure this is reported through to the responsible courier.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you've received no further updates regarding the delivery of your order.
As a carrier management company, our service is to provide multi-carrier software, collection and delivery support to retailers however, Whistl do not provide a courier service directly to carry out any deliveries to the end point ourselves.
Depending on the courier service that the retailer has selected for delivery, a lack of tracking updates against a parcel may not always be indicative of an issue (where it may have been dispatched via an untracked or partially tracked service, for example).
If you would like to respond to our request, a member of our team would gladly check on this for you in order to advise however, if you have still yet to receive the delivery we would strongly recommend reporting this to Music Magpie, if you have not already done so.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Package Sitting at Depot for a Week
Package sitting at depot for a week. Terrible service. Why do people use it? I did not choose the courier it was the seller. Must be the worst courier out there! Horrendous. Since typing this a day ago I have tried to use the Whistl site. It says we are connecting you to a live operator and then cuts you off! Tried it 3 times. Never ever known such an awful service. Unable to be contacted. Package still sitting there. You can see how much they care they do not even check Trust Pilot reviews! Just tried live chat - ha ha - no such thing. I went through all options and got the bot. Package still stuck. I think I know what Whistl stands for now. Once the package is handed over to Whistl - they blow the whistle and everything stops! Still stuck there (29th March 2026). Collected on 16th March! No help from Whistl because you cannot contact them. They have my item - outrageous no-one there to help.

Thank you for your review. We are ever so sorry to hear of the trouble you've had with your delivery and that you have been unable to make contact.
Contact details, alternative to the Chat, are listed on our main site via the Contact Whistl page however, as we are not a courier ourselves, the deliveries would not be made by Whistl, therefore we do recommend any issues or queries on delivery are best reported through to the retailer from which you have purchased.
Where we provide collection support for retailers, to dispatch their parcels into the courier networks, they are handed over to the chosen courier service within 24 hours at most and it is highly unlikely that any would be held back at our locations for any length of time. However, if you would like to respond to our request, a member of our team would be more than happy to reach out and check this for you and ensure the issue with delivery is raised through the appropriate channels.
In the meantime, we have reviewed the chat function and found that our chat bot is not routing as intended unfortunately so this has now been raised through to our team to investigate and deploy a fix as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Amateur delivery company
was waiting for a delivery then got a message saying package had been posted at 2.20. Nothing had been posted through my door. checked my 'ring' doorbell to find no Whistle delivery van had been down the drive that I live in.No idea where my package ended up. Absolute amateurs when it comes to delivering packages.....surely their drivers know how to use a satnav?

Useless tracking system!
I have to echo many other reviews about the useless tracking. It doesn’t give you any indication as to where the item is, “in transit” could be anywhere! No idea of delivery date. Also when it is handed over to Royal Mail there is no tracking or delivery information from them either. I just have to wait I guess and hope. Which isn’t great when I have live plants being delivered!

NHS letters take 1 month!
Yet again a letter from an NHS hospital department has arrived almost exactly one month later than the "Date typed" date on the letter. As much use as a chocolate teapot.

They sit on collections for days before doing anything.
Why on earth do companies choose these instruments of all the other couriers which are far better, even Royal Mail are bette!

Remember reliable couriers, it's not whistl
Remember reliable couriers? On time deliveries? I do. Not so much nowadays, and most certainly not from whistl. Delivery has been sat at the depot for a week now. Are the warehouse operatives on strike? Hibernating perhaps? Absolutely useless, yet companies continue to use them!

Whistl don't deliver your stuff
I ordered 4 books from Blackwells. Turns out they use Whistl for order fulfillment. One was posted a week ago and I have yet to receive it, two were posted 3 days ago and have yet to go out for delivery. Not the first time this has happened to me usung a company that uses Whistl. I strongly advise that you avoid any retailer that uses Whistl for order fulfillment. I will be from now on.

App is useless
After buying items from temu and them being sent via whistl i realised how bad the app is. Items never arrived with me. But showed as delivered to a neighbour. No neighbour name or house number given, no card through the door.no proof of delivery picture. So going on the app it requested that i contact their driver. Or the sender. The tracking is useless. The seller had to contact me with the info.

In keeping with with everyone else this was appallingly slow service both times. Music Magpie who are normally excellent and reliable are using them now and will be tarred with the same brush if they continue to do so.

DREADFUL
If the company I ordered a book from which I still haven't received had been honest about using Whistl, I'd have purchased elsewhere.
