    Fast friendly and efficient. They work really hard and sometimes we are impatient LOL. Sometimes we are the problem sometimes we already upset about our package before we get there and we take it out on them..LOL

    If I could give it zero stars that would be better. Package lost for over ten days past the expected delivery date and when it arrives the box and contents destroyed. Contacted support days ago and Birmingham still never reached out to me. Another facility did.

    My package was due at the latest 8/6. The order was placed on 7/20. My package has been to Birmingham twice (where it is due to be delivered, with it arriving 7/30) , then to Missouri, Chicago , etc. and the whereabouts are still unknown. School has been in 3 weeks and my daughter is still missing quite a few of her clothes due to this. This is ridiculous! I am having a difficult time placing a claim/refund! How does this even happen?

    Packages never arrive on scheduled time. Always a couple days late, not to mention one time my package was in Alabama at Birmingham distribution center then the next day it was in Maryland?!? Get rid of the deli hires and get quality help!

    Great place and fast to load and unload. Use the entry gate on 3rd Ave N for truck entry. Don’t use the gate on 5the Ave N.
