****DO NOT USE THIS CHEATING SCAM OF A COMPANY!!!!!!!!*****
Before I even start, no one will answer calls, no one will reply to your e-mails, messages, etc. unless of course there is an issue on THEIR end. Seriously unprofessional attitude. They lie and lie, and try to cheat out of money at every opportunity.
I originally ordered 2 maxi boxes and paid for next day delivery. I was told the fee was due to it being a 3rd party delivery service. The day came and it turned out to be EdEx themselves delivering the box (LIE NUMBER 1).
I let it go. Packed my boxes. I called them for next day delivery and they said they would charge £25/box for this service because it would be UPS picking up the boxes. But the guy on the phone proceeded to tell me that there have been issues with UPS so sometimes the delivery guy doesn't come. I didn't want to take the risk because I had a flight to catch. I decided to e-mail EdEx and ask if it was okay if I changed the pick-up address to my aunt's address in the UK. I had no reply for a week or so. I couldn't wait for their lack of communication so I decided to go on their website to see if there would be any problems with a pick up from my aunt's address.
EVERYWHERE on their website states that they offer FREE PICK UP FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UK. Even in capital letters (screenshots attached). So after not hearing from EdEx, I sent the boxes to my aunt anyway, with the intention of having EdEx pick up from there. Monday the 2nd of Sept came round (my initial intended pick up date) and I got a call in the evening. It was EdEx, ready to pick up my boxes. I told them I had already e-mailed to inform them of the change of address. Clearly there is ZERO communication even within the company. But see, again it was EdEx picking up the boxes so they lied to me when they said I had to pay £25/box because it would be a third party picking up the boxes. (LIE NUMBER TWO)
EdEx then proceeded to tell me that they would be charging £25/box for pick up from my aunt's address because her address incurred an 'outskirt charge'.(LIE NUMBER THREE). Nowhere on their website states anything about this, and everything on their website about "FREE PICK UP FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UK" leads the customer to believe that in fact, they do offer free pick up from anywhere in the UK. I sent them the screenshots as attached here. I asked them to please show me evidence of where it says 'outskirt charges' on their website and they never did. Their FALSE ADVERTISING MISLEADS CLIENTS TO THINK THERE IS FREE PICK UP FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UK --- totally against ASA standards and I will, of course, be making a complaint there and with the ombudsman.
I packed my boxes based on a reliance on their advertisement of free pick up from anywhere in the UK and this turned out to be a misleading statement and a complete lie. After a bit of back and forth (as much as possible when they take their sweet time responding to customers), they called me. I argued and again asked them to show me evidence from their website about an outskirt charge. He said he would call me back in half an hour (obviously never did) but I knew what they were doing -- they were quickly changing their website. I visited their site after the call and received an Error message. How pathetic and funny.
DO NOT USE THIS CHEATING, LYING, FRAUDULENT WEBSITE. They currently do not have a trustpilot page but I will create one and please people, post your reviews on there and make your complaints to the ASA, ombudsman (both in the UK), and FMFF (Malaysia).
Oh and by the way, I ended up using Seven Seas Worldwide to ship my boxes instead. They are super professional, offer 24/7 customer service, immediate response to queries and phone calls and all for the same price that this cheating company offered me.
