Reply: Google search the box dimensions for EFS54FC-SEB. Don't worry about sending me a copy of the call recording as I'll be providing my copies of the recordings to the police, ACCC and bank for the three cases I've opened with them.
2 jobs lost during their transit. They know nothing about the tracking.
They got driver came to pick up the 2 jobs from us on 24/9/2024 and 26/9/2024. The both jobs are booked with DDS in their system. However both jobs are lost. Customer didn't receive them till today(22/10/2024). We sent enquiry form to them. They don't know when the parcels have been picked up. They even don't know where the parcels are located. They don't know when the parcels can be delivered or the parcels have been lost permanently by their carrier. They know nothing with their job.
Very disappointed with their unreliable service with the name of DDS. This carrier should not be allowed to run in the industry.
If their can find the parcels and return back to us. And refund the freight we've paid to them, we are happy to go back and change the review.

Booked a shipment on Tuesday, it's now Thursday & even after sending 3 emails we still don't have the labels. We booked pickup for today which is now going to mess our entire delivery up & cause issues with clients.
Terrible and expensive experience! Their customer service were not apologetic about the failure to deliver my item and still had the audacity to charge my credit extra for an error in sizing!
I found C&F via google and it looked like a good easy service to return an online package. It was not!!
A month later, the box appeared back on my doorstep! It looked like it had gone through a battlefield, they told me the addressee didn’t accept the delivery!?! Strange considering this was an online shopping clothing return.
C&F also then charged my credit card with an extra payment because the measurements were incorrect, the measurements on the connote were not the ones I entered on their webpage, I still have no idea why they would say the 500g weight was 2kg and the box was 2cm high??? When The box is big enough to hold a pair of padded ski pants and clearly not these measurements!
I now have to pay more to have it re-sent, Australia Post would have been 100% better and using them from now on
