GoFo Express- nervous about them delivering my package
Opinions on GoFo Express (Terrible last mile delivery)
What Is GOFO Tracking Number?
A tracking number is a unique code assigned to a package by a carrier, allowing customers to monitor its journey from shipment to delivery.
The format of a tracking number varies by carrier, but it typically consists of a combination of letters and numbers. For specifics, you can check GOFO’s website or reach out to their customer service for assistance.
How To Find My GOFO Tracking Number?
You can find your GOFO tracking number in several ways.
- Shipping Confirmation Email: Check the email confirmation sent by the retailer or logistics provider.
- Order Details Page: Log into your account on the retailer’s website to view your order details.
- Carrier's Website: If you have a receipt or shipping label, the tracking number will be printed there.
How Does GOFO Tracking API Work?
- First, you need to integrate the API into your website or app. Get an API key and follow the setup instructions, which are super easy.
- Once set up, you can send a tracking number to the API. It hits GOFO’s system to get the latest status of the shipment.
- The API then sends back where the package is and any updates so you can notify your customers.
I ordered something from Yun Express and saw that the last mile delivery service is GoFo Express. I’ve heard so many negative reviews about them, but I’m giving some hope with them. The last notification I recieved from Yun Express (surprised they still kept track of my package in the U.S. but grateful for that) was that my package received clearance in customs in a nearby city of the state I live in. I’m hoping the package will be delivered in the morning or afternoon without running into the issues that people have had with them. I live in an ungated neighborhood and gave the correct address and will not need to change the address, so I’m just hoping that they simply put the package in front of the door and leave. I’ll be home all day, so I have no issue with them doing that. I’ve heard of them throwing packages instead of just putting them down too, but my neighbors are always out and about, and my parents have been doing yard work all day everyday this week, so I hope that will deter GoFo express from doing that too.
I’m just really nervous. I know people don’t bother putting in positive reviews about them most of the time. I’m just hoping everything goes well. This is a stretch to ask with all the negative reviews about GoFo Express but has anyone happened to have a positive experience with them?
Apparently Aliexpress Shipping (their separate shipping arm) and YunExpress use these nincompoops for last mile delivery. They are the most incompetent last-mile delivery service I have ever encountered.
They absolutely refuse to deliver to PO Boxes, or UPS stores, or any mailbox stores - Residencial deliveries only ... except they will send their delivery-monkey to a UPS store address, repeatedly, only to mark the package as 'undeliverable - unsupported delivery location' or 'inaccessible delivery location'.
They do not provide ANY means to contact them - I had to track down their email address via some searches - and then cite some 'policy' of not delivering to such locations, and insist on your residencial addressor else' they will return the item back to the sender (which in my case is back in China).
Communication with them is via email only, and running into a serious copy-paste language barrier (all you get back are copy-paste messages). So, even when I had another package arriving, and I contacted them pro-actively to alert them of the different delivery address - they initially confirmed, then proceeded to send their monkey to my UPS store, and refuse delivery, only to then inform me that they do not allow for change of delivery address and the package will be returned to the sender (after they had already delivered 3 other packages to me directly).
Only my shipper, contacting them directly and probably yelling at hem in their native language resulted in a new email assuring me of redelivery several days later.
What is frustrating is that all of these packages had been shipped via express delivery, and while they all arrived within days at the airport, these nimrods delayed arrival each time by up to an extra week.
Anyone else have experience with GoFo Express that mirrors mine?
