I paid about $120 for shipment of goods worth about $110 I ordered from Amazon which should have been the first red flag. I never saw one of two packages that were released for shipment. It was never picked up from the hub by a courier for a month now despite having the tracking number assigned. I can't claim refund as Borderlinx claims that package was never, technically, lost so it's impossible to claim refund. They also can't do anything to send the package that is supposed to be at the hub for a month, waiting there for a courier. Don't use this service.

For the last two months, Borderlinx has been giving me a harrowing and torrid time. 3 of my apparel purchases had been successfully sent to and received by a staff from Borderlinx at the Ohio address as confirmed by the stores that I had contacted. But each time, Borderlinx will say that they have no idea where the packages are! And it has been weeks and months and they still have no idea where the packages are. All the live chat agents tell you are the same obnoxious response that the warehouse team team will look into them. This is tantamount to ransom. I hope the authorities will look into this and not let such malpractices go on unnoticed!

Customer Service Clerks are very RUDE too!

Chatting to customer service using the LIVE CHAT will only result in receiving INSULTS! I would suggest you change it to INSULT CHAT instead of INSTANT CHAT!

I need my package, not corrective measures!

Dear Yaser,

If you can share the Chat ID or your Suite number which you didn't find customer friendly, we will be able to review further and take corrective measures. Apologies again for the inconveniences.

Best Regards,

I have released and paid for my shipment out of the HONG KONG warehouse on the 12th of October. Today is the 20th! The shipment hasn't moved! Despite repeated LIVE chat complaints, etc. No Progress! Is this company going bankrupt? Facing Financial Issues that can't dispatch parcels held in their possession? Is this company facing serious Operational Issues! I demand full refund and immediate dispatch of my products.

My ticket number is: *******

Parcel was signed and delivered to the US warehouse in OH on Oct 05th, but up until now, the parcel is still not yet updated. All of my other parcels were updated within 2 working days in my suite and i do not understand why this expensive item is not updated in 15 days. I checked with the customer service everyday and got the same answer "We will send a request to the hub and you will have a reply very soon via email". Since the item value is high, i am very concerned. Can somebody step up and take care my case? Or else i will report to the police for record of this case. All my items under $30 were received, but the high value item is not updated?! Ticket number is *******. I need help. P.S.: If you see the item in my suite now, this is not the item i am talking about. I am now waiting for my expensive item to be updated and deliver all the items at once. Please do not say you see my item is updated on my suite. Please check the ticket number - *******.

Update: Oct 23rd, 2017

I received an email that my case is closed because my shipment was released. This is ridiculous! I wonder did they check my request in these 17 days?! The shipment which i have released are the other items! Totally not the one i am now waiting.

Update: Oct 31st

Still no news at all! Where is my item?

Update: Nov 06th

Still locating my item...

Update: Nov 10th

Finally! I have received my item! Even though it takes a month, i am happy to have my item at the end. Thank you for the help especially the manager!

Extortionists!
October 19, 2017

After waiting almost a month now and having tried multiple times to find tracking information about my package from Borderlinx US, the operator each time has provided the same rehearsed response. I have paid for an express delivery service in DHL had to inform me the shipment was sent back to the shipper for some reason and now, Borderlinx cannot find it. It was a package that I needed urgently and certainly, I WILL NOT BE USING THIS COMPANY'S SERVICES again. When you speak to someone there, it is simply an overseas call centre who can't do anything. I HAVE WASTED MONEY PURCHASING MY GOODS AND MONEY ALSO WASTED ON PAYING FOR NO SERVICE. IN A NUTSHELL, BORDERLINX PREFERS TO STEAL MONEY RATHER THAN PROCURE ACTUAL SERVICE.

And to add insult to injury, apparently "half" my package has been sent back to Borderlinx and REQUIRES MY PAYMENT AGAIN JUST TO RELEASE IT. I've never heard of a policy of having to pay twice just to get service, certainly not in their terms and conditions. And don't try the online chat, they just DISCONNECT THE CONVERSATION WHEN THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION! I'm asking them again (for the 6th time) and see what happens...

Worst service
October 19, 2017

Shipment order (*******) released on 7 Oct 2017 for 4 parcels. Only 3 parcels sent out after 1 week delay. As of now, the last parcel is still in the warehouse and unaccounted for. Checked with Customer service everyday, and all I got was standard answer of backlog and waiting for warehouse to get back to them.

Paid premium for 2-3days shipment, all i got was 2-3 weeks delay instead.

Very disaapointed with borderlinx.

Case number: *******

My item was delivered to the German DC on 27/10 (almost 6 weeks ago). After repeated emails and contact saying they would 'get in touch with the warehouse and advise ASAP' they have not located my parcel and have stopped communicating with me entirely. This is the worst mail forwarding company, it's hard to fathom how they are legally trading as a business.

Like many other customers, Borderlinx is leading me to nervous breakdown. After receiving my package on the 22nd of sept, they still haven't registered it to my suite. The Customer Service on online chat proved completely powerless (what can they do if they don't have any updates) simply because the warehouse team is not following up or just not doing their job well enough. Sure they gave me a $15 sorry promo code, but after almost three weeks of waiting and more coming, I am appalled by the weakness of their logistics team. Reading all the feedback on this website made me deeply regret trusting them with my packages. I still hope I will get them by 2018 though although I'm now afraid they get bankrupt anytime soon...

Deare Greg,

The current situation is an absolutely one-off incident. Being humane, things do not always go as planned like the recent warehouse move. The delay in operations was unexpected which resulted to subsequent backlog and we continue to work hard to clear it and be upto date.

At this point, though we failed to provide the standard service, we're known for being prompt and reliable. And thats what we are and once things settle out, you can expect the same high standard level of service while using Borderlinx. Please accept our sincere apologies for this delay and inconvenience caused.

This is my first time using forwarding service - I learned to avoid Borderlinx next time by all costs. This company is operating at a level I have rarely seen - and I am a lawyer. On the main site they warn you that they are experiencing a backlog due to moving of the hub. They also explain that it will take them a couple of days more than usual to ship the items. However, it is clearly not so. I bought my item on eBay and had it shipped over to them. Borderlinx received the parcel on the 30th Sept. It has been 1 week now (not just a couple of days) and they still dont know when my item is going to ship, and I have to point out I paid extra to have it shipped as soon as possible. The last answer I got was to wait at least another week (so in total 2 weeks or more), for a job that takes 15 minutes. This is really bad bussines practice and very clear case of customer misleading. As other rewievers pointed out, their customer service is useless, they have no clue as to where the item is and when it's going to ship. Uterly useles. I also recieved tracking number (*******XX), but whats the point of having a number if nothing is happening? Moreover, if I want to return the item, I have to pay additional costs (20$+), and the time it's going take to ship it back is the same (due to the backlog, of course) if I just let go and wait for the parcel to ship as originally agreed prior to the refund. My advice is - stay away from them. They are bordering to a scam, no doubt about it.

42 days ago my parcel was departed to my country, through USPS. In september 18th I asked them to make a claim to USPS once the Post Service of my country said to me that the parcel was not in the country.

Since them Borderlinx seems to be cheating about it, saying all the time that the parcel is going through custom clearence costum process. But it is not. My counstry's Post Service says it would be on tracking events if that was the case.

After I insisted with them Borderlinx said it would get in touch with their shipping partner. But the answer was the same: custom clearence process. But it is not. Again my country's Post Service says if it is not in my country.

I supposed Borderlinx don't even bother to make a claim do USPS, and is saying the same thing expecting I will stop making the claim somehow.

The don't give a damn about you parcel once it was posted.

I will not work with Borderlinx anymore. It is not trustworthy.

Problem with company.
1. In Multi Quantity shipments, they miss 1 or 2 items, and there is no whereabout for that.
2. Wrong Shipment value is updated in all shipments.
3. Wrong Weight is charged in Shipments.
I am yet to release my shipments, waiting from last 15 days to get response from them, but no benefit.

Dear Atul

Thank you for your note here. Let us try to address your concern:

1. In Multi Quantity shipments, they miss 1 or 2 items, and there is no whereabout for that.

- We will normally scan the invoice received inside the packaget and update the system accordingly. If the items are few we may even manually check them. However, teh items will be as shipped and delivered by the seller- possibly a discrepancy in the data updated? We can investigate if we have your Suite number and shipment tracking.

2. Wrong Shipment value is updated in all shipments.
- In the event a shipment is delivered at our warehouse without the seller invoice or this is not visible, our warehouse has to estimate the value of the items. You simply need to contact the support team who can make necessary correction immediately.

3. Wrong Weight is charged in Shipments.
- The information updated to the account are transparent and correct. It will show real/dead weight and the package dimensions. We use cubiscle to measure these data and is accurate. You can always verify them with seller and on delivery to yourself. There is no room for any discrepany really.

Hope it helps and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Best regards,
Borderlinx Team
