“Pitney Bowes Does It Again!”

Anwar J.
4/14/24

Briefly, many of the remarks being made against Pitney Bowes would simply not be accurate. For one, its relationship with the USPS does not guarantee a smoother operation for either Pitney Bowes or for any location where post office services are offered (authorized shippers). Any issues with the USPS are a shared responsibility with the customer, the carrier, and the authorized shipper or service. Also, the new Pitney Bowes "Amazon" QR system has put Pitney Bowes on the map in a rapid way. This transition too makes it a more efficient company and to offer such a critical system for returns is absolutely noteworthy.

“Procrastinating Company/ Unreliable.”

Every time I order something and the company uses "Pitney Bowes" i already know its going to take longer than the date the actual company gave. Like if you order something and it says its going to get there on May 10th be prepared to wait til next month. Terrible service. I dont know why companies use them as a carrier. Horrible decision ever made.

There are other options for shipping and USPS rates that are not Pitney Bowes. The contract terms are not in your best interest. The fees when the contract is over are exorbitant. They will charge your card without hesitation. As a business owner of many years, this company does not offer a great product but instead traps you into paying fees on fees on fees.

It's a shame Fabletics is doing business with a sham company. Pitney Bowes has had control of my package now for a week past the date it was supposed to be delivered and hasn't handed it off to the USPS for delivery. As far as I know, it's still multiple states away with no end in sight to my wait. This is the first time I've ever heard of PB and hopefully it's the last as I won't be ordering from Fabletics until they stop doing business with Pitney Bowes.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t.

A website that I order from frequently has started using Pitney Bowes as a delivery partner. I have never had such an awful experience receiving a package. The tracking information hasn't been updated since the end of November and it is now December 19th. I still haven't received my order. I can't get in touch with anyone at PB who can update my order location or when I can expect delivery. I am going to have to cancel my order and get a refund because I am not confident I will ever receive my items. From now on I will be willing to pay extra to ensure my items aren't delivered using Pitney Bowes. If they are the only option for delivery, I will not buy from that website or business.

Called PB for an update on a package that hadn't moved from the same location in 2 weeks. I got the run-around from the fist agent I spoke with who eventually transferred me to another person. The second person spoke down to me like I was an idiot and told me they can't speak with customers directly because they are not a customer service business. She advised me that she could only talk to the retailer I purchased the package from. She then said she had other customers to talk to and hung up on me. Thank goodness for the retailer. I called the retailer and they apologized and shipped me a new item with overnight shipping. PB lost my package and then refused to even talk to me to help find it. If I could give negative stars, I would give negative 5 stars.

I ordered shoes for my kids for going back to school. I am a single mom with 4 kids and 1 income. They got shipped through this company and they never arrived. So I called the company to get help and I got cussed out and hung up on. They hung up on my 3 times. It's been a month since the estimated delivery date and still nothing. The site changed the estimated delivery date from the date to "on its way". And I have not got an update on my order for weeks. They don't answer calls. They are VERY unprofessional and have really terrible customer service. They won't let me know where the shoes are. All I was told is that they were "probably stolen by an employee". They are an absolute garbage company. I now am out school shoe money and my kids have to wear their old shoes that barely fit because the only money I had for school shoes was spent and then quite possibly stolen "by an employee". $#*! this company.

Don't lease a postage meter from this company. My husband had leased one from them for his office. He was the only person who signed the lease. My husband passed away and they want me to pay over $700.00 as a settlement in order to return the postage meter to them. They keep telling me that I am obligated to pay this settlement. Worse company in the world. I just wanted to send them the machine back since he passed away.

Every delivery experience I have had with this company has been horrendous! My latest experience was I was told that they made 2 supposedly delivery attempts when I was home
But my buzzer did not ring or I did not receive a phone call. I don't appreciate your staff lying that they've been here! I called Amazon as soon as I had a notice on my phone saying they tried and I explained to Amazon that I was. My previous delivery a month ago they left my package on the street outside my gate for anyone to steel. Thankfully one of my brought it for and again I was at home.

I have an Amazon order originating in Kent, WA, coming via Pitney Bowes. It sat in Vancouver for 2 weeks, customs cleared. I'm in Edmonton. It was expected yesterday, April 27/22. Now the window is April 28 to May 5. The website excuse is COVID. Amazon and others they have delivering Amazon parcels on their behalf are able to make their commitments. Pitney Bowes is a disgrace! FYI, I was in transportation and tracking for 13 years.

We've been fighting PB for nearly two months. We changed checking accounts. Made the changes in ALL the places their CS people told us to. Closed our old account. PB keeps using old account. Now the USPS has locked our machine due to non-payment. 6 phone calls later we are told by a supervisor's boss, that the only way to fix it is to send the USPS a CHECK. No way to do it online, by CC, nothing. Overnighted a check that was received 24 hours before I posted this and still nothing. We have a huge mailing that has been on hold for nealy two weeks. Horribly frustrating.

This company straight out sucks! Your package will be barely tracked you'll get updates only when they feel like it and your package will take 4-5 weeks for something that should've taken a day or two…. Have been waiting for an Ebay global shipping for a month an a half but wait for it! The item was in Greenville, South Carolina and was to be shipped to Toronto Canada. With a car that's about 19 hours of driving and according to google maps it takes 11 days of walking… so basicly it would've taken me less time to walk to 815 Miles to go and 815 miles back which would have taken 22 days according to Google Maps. So yeah there's your answer if you were looking for one tho I'd imagine you're hear looking at reviews because the same the happened to you. So take it as is but you could walk accross the country to take your package and it would take less time than to get it shipped from Pitney Bowes. Pathetic….

I was worried about receiving my package, I thought it went to Canada post, but it didn't. Saturday, some 'citizen' came with the package. I had just checked the sites and no update. It's 3pm, and after delivery, I check the site it says 5pm today. Nothings broken. Happy.

I'll never use this company again. They way over Harfe for import tax. When questioned they make up nothing but excuses. I refuse to buy items when this company are used. A good example is I made a purchase and was charged over 33% tax for import. I spent the same amount nit using this company and I was charged 12.5%. Big difference. Postage tome is hardly express. Not a company to be trusted.

Fabletics is now using Pitney Bowes as the delivery carrier, and Pitney Bowes is the worst porter service. Tracking my items it has taken 3 weeks to received my shipment from california to NY. I could drive to california and back to NY in less time than that. This company is the worst. Then i'm tracking items that are to be returned to fabletics through Pitney Bowes, and it has taken 16 days for my package to travel a whopping 3 miles!

Our lease on our postage machine with Pitney Bowes was over on 3/9/2021. We informed them we were not renewing and returned the postage machine. Due to we had the machine for the first quarter of the year, we are now responsible to Pitney Bowes for the entire year of property tax. You never get rid of them. I do not want this company to ever call me, message me, send me snail mail or email or send a representative on any property I own.

Tip for consumers:
Just do not get in business with them. Horrible from start to never ending.

It's a total pain in the $#*! to do business with company. Of all of the venders I use for my business this on is the worst to do business with.
Overpriced, horrible customer service and very over priced.
You sign a contract and if you try to get out early they charge you full amount of the rest of your contract. Ok I understand that but the thing is when your contact is over it's like pulling teach to get out and they charge you to sent the piece of crap machine that you had for 5 or more years just to take it back.
Just go to the post office you will save hundreds of $
Total scam
Stay clear.

I had 2 monthly subscription boxes I ended up canceling because they used Pitney Bowes. My packages were ALWAYS late. ALWAYS. Every single month. Several times the package never came and the company had to replace it. I have no idea why they even give tracking numbers because they never update the tracking. Not ever. If a package is late or lost, they couldn't possibly have any way of finding it since they don't update tracking. No idea how this $hit company is still in business.

After several attempts to update my business name over a period of at least a year I finally cancelled my service.
Well I think I cancelled my service. I could not understand the first two customer service representatives. I told both I have hearing issues that prevent me from understanding them. My hearing is deficient in hearing certain pitches and more. I ask for a representative whose first language is American English. I was transferred to Mike who I understood and he cancelled my account. When I ask to speak with someone in Billing whose first language is American English he told me he could no promise that could happen. I ask that he inform his supervisor of my handicap and have my call returned by someone I could understand. Nope. I explained that I was being discriminated against due to my handicap. He got very agitated and transferred me to a voicemail. I hung up in frustration.

Management don't know what they are doing. They make a Sunday overtime and take us away from our families then through that week they will send us home early and we loose out on our time and a half. They make rules up as they want! Managers don't talk nice to employees! That place will ALWAYS have a revolving door until they get good management in there or a UNION! DONT WORK HERE! It's horrible!

They've had my package since March 3rd. It is now March 15th. Even with the tracking number they refused to look for it so basically they stole it or lost it which makes them thieves or incompetent they never. Delivered it to the Post Office to deliver it to me Utah warehouse. Yes a den of thieves

My package was to be delivered by them and it has been days and I haven't received it, it said delivered and I was at home the entire day waiting and checking my front porch and no package, I called the customer service the guy I spoke to had an attitude because I choose to call and asking me why did I call and not go straight to the tracking site. You guys should not be in business if you're not going to care about the customers and its so unfortunate I can't even get a refund for something I didn't even receive. I'm so mad right now like wtffff
