I sent two packages with Couriers Please that were reported as delivered, but they never arrived. After raising a complaint about the lost packages, I was left stressed and chasing answers with no clear resolution. I expected reliable service, but instead I had to push for either delivery or financial recompense for items I was depending on. It was incredibly frustrating having to escalate something so basic. - Toni

My Couriers Please parcel was marked for delivery, but it never showed up, and correcting a simple address issue turned into a drawn-out complaint. I kept trying to get clarity, but the communication was poor and the AI assistant wasn’t helpful. Lodging a formal complaint felt like the only way to get confirmation that my package would actually be delivered properly. - Yanwyn

Couriers Please left my parcel outside in bad weather, even though there was a safe place available. I had to raise a complaint because the delivery put my items at risk of damage and showed a real lack of care. I rely on safe handling, and instead I was left anxious about whether my purchase would even survive being left exposed. - Danielle

I was charged by Couriers Please for six boxes, but only five were processed, and one box never arrived. After repeated follow-ups and delays, I had to lodge a complaint to push for a refund and an investigation into the missing parcel. Being overcharged and left without clear answers made the whole experience feel careless and unfair. - Zhou
