“Dreadful Service Avoid”

Written on: 15/05/2013 by angelac100

Ordered an electrical item from Freenet electrical to be delivered the next working day Freenet use Interlink Express for their deliveries. Parcel should have arrived between 16.45 and 17.45 but no one arrived. Received a text later that evening saying no one was in and left a calling card in the post box - guess what no calling card was left and the number we had a premium rate one at that was automated so could not speak with a person. The next day rang Freenet who contacted Interlink... (read more)

“Great service, tracked UK to Belgium, delivered fine”

Written on: 13/05/2013

This is in relation to interlinkdirect (which I believe is part of interlinkexpress). I've used them twice now. The first time was about 5 months ago. It was a UK-UK delivery. It got there fine but my concerns were that they didn't collect on the day, I had to wait for the next day and I had to email to chase up. Also the tracking on the website didn't seem to up to date but the email reply I received from them made up for this. Last week I sent a box from the UK to Europe. Service... (read more)

“UK staff polite but terrible service to Europe ”

Written on: 10/05/2013

Having ordered an item, and paid for delivery by 01/05, I followed tracking and could see the item "out for delivery" on multiple successive days from their French Brive depot. They made no attempt to deliver it throughout the week and I finally contacted the DPD team in the Uk. I was told that they had contacted the depot and that the item would be delivered that day preceded by a phone call to me. Later in the day, an event was posted against the consignment saying I had requested to... (read more)

“Avoid like the plague!”

Written on: 30/04/2013 by redfibee (3 reviews written)

I arrived home to find that I had missed a delivery. Not surprising really, since they only sent the email with the delivery time 2 hours before they delivered. There was no note through the door saying where the parcel was. Went in to the Interlink Express website to look at the tracking, and found that my parcel had been delivered to my house and signed for, at a time when no-one was in, by a name that I didn't recognise. Contacted the Interlink Express Customer Service, and was told... (read more)

“Hoorible service, never again, total lack or responsivity.”

Written on: 26/04/2013 by m.a.n. (1 review written)

I ordered some goods, worth approx £170 to be delivered to me. The weight of pack was more than 30kg. Happy driver, as I have looong driveway, "delivered" the parcel to neighbour, not the nearest one, but the one with shortest road for carrying the parcel. Of course, he had no authorization to do this, but this is a detail. Effectively, I do not want to meet a new friends in my neighbourhood, so I kindly called them to make them aware that they did not delivered the parcel yet. Will wait... (read more)

Written on: 23/04/2013 by MB12234

As a service that I am paying for, it would be helpful that I get what I am asking for. I understand that they have lots of collections to do but when I have had confirmation on email from Customer Service dealing with my request to collect my parcel after 3pm as there will not be anybody home that is what I would expect to happen. But instead the driver has been in the morning and left a 'sorry we missed you' card. I then call Customer Service who said all I can do is re-arrange but they... (read more)

“Almost put off by other reviews, but great service!”

Written on: 17/04/2013

These guys were by far the cheapest for returning a parcel to France from the UK, and although cheapest isn't always best I was very happy with the service. I didn't actually realise I was booking through these guys as the site is branded as Interlink Direct, not Express. However, the collection happened on time as stated and the delivery fulfilled within the 5-day time slot so I can't complain at all. People normally just rant about bad experiences on these sites so I thought I should give... (read more)

They might have done the same in France with my parcel at their depot, but the only day that is a holiday in France was Easter Monday. Good Friday is a normal working day.

Update:
Saturday, 13 april, yesterday I was sent the telephone number of the local French depot. No reply since I tried late yesterday afternoon. This morning still no change on both the DPD and interlink Express tracking websites, my parcel is still classed as being at the depot.
That makes it 17 days since Interlink have had my parcel, and for 14 days it has been in the dpot.???

Ordered 2 items from Kiddisave. Tracker said 2 items, the note on the parcel when it came said 2 items. I was expected to sign for 2 items even though was only delivering one. When I said I wasn't signing for 1 parcel when it said he was delivering 2 the driver became very aggressive telling me if I didn't sign for this one I wouldn't get this parcel or my fcuk ing other parcel either. Very aggressive and abusive. Now I have a 1 year old daughter and my wife is 31 weeks pregnant. They don't... (read more)

You need to phone Interlink Express head office in Birmingham and they are some company for DPD and ask the switchboard to put you to Chief Executive and they will help you.

I had few problems with Interlink Express Depot in Nuneaton and I phone to they head office and they help me and sort the problem for me and I got my parcel and incident happened in February 2013.

“Making promises they can't keep”

Written on: 13/03/2013

Interlink were supposed to deliver my package(s) today. I woke up at 8am to a text giving me a "delivery window" of 8am-7pm. Great start. At 9:30am I received an email stating that the delivery had failed. Pretty odd; I had been awake since the first text one hour ago and the doorbell is very loud (we also have a huge door knocker), so I can only assume that it wasn't pressed. Went to the porch and found a calling card. Great. Phoned up the local depot and explained the situation to the guy... (read more)

I have, unlike many other reviews, had great experience with Interlink Express. I received my parcel today during the allocated hour time slot, with a 5kg steel pan costing me only £4.95 delivery (Next Day!) I would certainly use Interlink Express again. Great service, great value! (read more)

Our package was delivered to the wrong house, even though the correct address was on the package.

He called back and was told they would speak to the driver and get it resolved. It wasn't resolved. I called back later and they said again they would call the driver and call me back.

“the worst services I ever had”

Written on: 01/03/2013 by jomloda77 (1 review written)

All the reviews from other people speak for themselves, mine is no different. Few words to describe :Liars, rude, not responsible, lazy and so on and on....In my opinion it has to be some reason behind this that they been in your address when they were not. Because it seems that they do not deliver on purpose. I think it has some connection with petrol money, they just lie to go there again and again. I don't know but it must be some reason that they act like this. (read more)

“Unreliable and dishonest”

Written on: 25/02/2013

Interlink gave us a one hour slot for collection of a parcel which needed to be returned today to avoid paying another month's rental. We waited in and looked out for them but they did not turn up, and sent an email saying that we were not in when they came. We may now have to pay an extra month rental for the item. I cannot contact them by phone. I will now have to use another day of my annual leave to wait in for them again. (read more)

I've read numerous bad reviews about Interlink & was expecting the worst when I found out that my goods were being delivered by them. However, the item arrived exactly within their 1 hour time slot.

The next time, the driver called me as he couldn't find my house (we're not the easiest to find),... (read more)

My brother's Christmas present arrived today, I never gave my permission to anyone to go into my garden, the delivery men unlocked my back gate then proceeded to open my shed and I can only assume they then threw the parcel in there as there is a giant tare in the box. I am incredibly insulted and want to contact their management, if there is any damage to the present they WILL be refunding me completely. (read more)

I don't know if the delivery men are missing stops or just can't seem to work the doorbell. When this happens once it's ok, when it happens 2-3 or more times you start to get annoyed.

Interlink Express look efficient, sending an email telling you when they are comming. However the time passes and then they send another email saying they couldn't deliver because you were out, and that they left a card. As with other reviewers, I wasn't out, and the dogs would certainly have barked if their van had pulled up. Unlike other reviewers, I wasn't even left a card.
