We are incredibly moved by your kind words, Elisabeth.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. We are so glad that our Morningside team could support your family during such a difficult and stressful time. Ensuring those urgent changes were handled quickly and with clear communication was the very least we could do to help, and we are heartened to know we could provide some peace of mind for your husband’s service.

Dear Kenneth,

We are very sorry to hear about your recent experience at our High Wycombe branch. It is disappointing to learn that our service did not meet the standards you expect from our brand, and we apologise for the frustration this has caused.

Regarding our pricing, while we strive to remain competitive, costs can sometimes vary depending on the specific services and logistics involved. However, we take your feedback regarding our customer service very seriously and will be addressing this with the team to ensure we provide a more welcoming and professional experience for all our customers.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to get in touch with the branch directly so we can look into what happened.

Best regards,

The Team at Mail Boxes Etc. High Wycombe

For the first time used the service.

For the first time used the service.
Dropped parcel on Monday but did not collect untill Tuesday evening.
The shop was so messy and I was worried if they mix my items with anything.
The staff did not have knowledge of customs or any charges.
Please use official site and store of known delivery services not this kind of third party.

Dear Dola,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your first experience with us did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the organisation of the shop and the advice provided.

Regarding the collection, we typically have scheduled daily pickups, but we apologise for any concern caused by the timing of your parcel's departure. We also take your comments about the shop's appearance and the team's customs knowledge very seriously; our staff should be able to provide clear guidance on international shipping and ensure all items are stored securely.

We aim to offer a professional and reliable alternative to main sorting offices, and it is clear we missed the mark on this occasion. We will be addressing your concerns with the Huddersfield team to ensure our standards of service and advice are improved.

Best regards,

The Team at Mail Boxes Etc. Huddersfield
