Delivery for subscription fail

I have a subscription and I've nver received even the seler Wild trying to resend it 3 times.
For another subscription with Youmove same problem. So I wouldn't trust Whistl as a delivery service.
I'm receiving other products and also my products size would be delivered at the post box...

A delivery firm that doesn't deliver

I placed an order with musicMagpie not realising that they use this firm. To my disappointment the DVDs have not arrived two weeks later and now there is all the hassle of trying to chase this up. If time and delivery of an order is of any value to you, avoid Whistl.

Dreadful

Dreadful. Multiple packages reaching a depot and… that’s it. No delivery, no communication, no updates, no way of contacting a person. Useless chatbot that goes round in circles. Neither sellers or receivers can do anything. Whistl, like most other services in the uk (yesI’m talking anout you Evri, DPD, UPS, Yodel, Royal Mail, FedEx) are equally bad. Whistl is one of, if not, the worst. Get your act together Whistl!

zero customer support

no tracking updates, no way to get assistance, no help whatsoever, their website says to chat to them via a button that does not exist. Awful awful company and service, becoming as bad as Evri, which is as bad as you can get.

Worst company going

Worst company going. Just put attempted delivery even though it wasn’t. Phones/offices always closed even during the times they say are open.

Absolutely Awful...Poor Quality...Late Delivery

Absolutely Awful...I had to re organise my work schedule 2 days waiting for a delivery that never arrived on its due date. They basically lied about when it was in transit but clearly this was a lie...cheap and awful courier company ...DO NOT USE.

Zero stars.

Zero stars.
Package has been at depot a month (obviously lost..) and no way to contact them.
Luckily I’ve been refunded by the seller.
With al these bad reviews why are companies still using them??
Surely it’s not cost effective to have to refund customers constantly?

May as well Whistl a deaf Dog.

Tracking is beyond useless. Every package ends up stuck at depot for days on end or gets deliveredtothewrong address. I will stop using Music Magpie altogether if they continue to use Whistl. I've had Orders from the USA & China arrive much faster then items from within the UK!

Lost Item With No Tracking Updates

USA customer here, I ordered an item through Walmart via musicMagpie (I love them). I placed the order back on September 17th. Over a month went by and I started to wonder what was going on. I was confused because the first time I ordered from mM, their shipping was perfect, even with me being in another country. I reached out to them and a customer service rep named Paul said it was shipped around that date. He included the tracking number. It was there that I discovered that the problem is Whistl. There were only 2 tracking updates over the span of a month. What happened? Where is my package? And perhaps the best question of all: What are they doing with everyone’s packages once they get them? Hoarding them for themselves? Completely unacceptable. What a horrible move for Magpie to switch to this abomination of a company. I will NEVER order a thing from them again until they ditch Whistl. Point blank, period.

Music Magpie now unusable

Never had any issues ordering from Music Magpie on eBay, but it seems they've recently switched to Whistl as their courier and now it's an absolute joke. I've had two Music Magpie orders gone missing in the last month. One was claimed to have been delivered on a day when I was at home all day - having searched around my property nothing was there. A second parcel was claimed to have been delivered at 3 AM - total fabrication - who's delivering at that time? I now have another Music Magpie order, tracking shows the item has been stuck at their warehouse for the last week. Doubtful I'll receive it. What are they doing with these parcels?

Appalling service

Appalling service, parcel picked from vendor 12 days ago and no further updates.
I cannot fathom how they can be in business

Last 3 items not delivered

Have come to the conclusion they don't deliver to my address in London as the last three items sent with them have not arrived. If you find a company using them then just a matter of counting down the days until asking for a refund.

Dreadful experience

I had a message to say my parcel had been delivered but it hasn’t . Nobody had been to my house all day. I know that because I have reviewed the footage on my security camera . Dreadful service

How do they remain in business ?

How do they remain in business ?
Have had 4 packages not arrive recently on as many occasions. Tracking says delivered. .. untrue .. no knock at the door etc was in all day on those occasions. Totally hopeless as others before me have said. I had no choice with Whistl as they were the preferred choice of the retailers I was purchasing from. Too many poor performing companies in the UK. ...
