I remember when dpd was a reliable…

I remember when dpd was a reliable delivery company so this pains me to say , 1st of all my parcel was left outside of my flat block and marked as delivered , when I returned it couldn’t be found (my item was weighing 20kg so I don’t expect anyone to carry that up the stairs although it is the job as delivery driver it’s not my fault my house isn’t on the floor. Anyway my parcel was stolen , arranged it to be reposted . The txt from dpd at 9:30 was to say my parcel will be delivered between 16:30 and 17:30 , then it changed to it will be delivered but is running late , then it gave me gps of the driver clearly parked at his house in the town I live , to then all of a sudden get a sorry we missed you message (drivers name) won’t be available until the 13th. I’ve waited in all evening for it not even be attempted to be delivered

Terrible experience with DPD

Terrible experience with DPD. My parcel was supposed to be delivered to my home, but the driver (Phil) didn’t even try to contact me. He didn’t call, didn’t knock, just marked the delivery as failed and uploaded a random photo of the house from the wrong side. Our address is clearly visible in big letters, even attached to the window, yet he didn’t bother to check.

I then redirected the parcel to a Pickup Point, but again it wasn’t delivered on the promised day. No calls, no updates, nothing. I ended up waiting three more days after the original delivery date they promised, constantly changing my plans for nothing.

Unprofessional and unreliable service. I cannot trust DPD anymore.

The worst of all the couriers

The worst of all the couriers, if you are a business using DPD to deliver your parcels I would strongly recommend you consider alternative carriers, Personally I will avoid purchasing any item if I know it will be delivered by DPD and I have started requesting that all suppliers that deliver to my business find an alternative or we will take our business elsewhere.

Simply the best delivery company in the UK - always have been on the right day and within the right time slot, polite and professional - what's not to like.
I wish more retailers would use them and not the pale imitations that are around (but no - please don't l- et's keep this a secret so they don't get TOO busy!)

This delivery person Martin is always friendly with a ready smile. Remembers your problems & joys. Doesn't tarry as he's got lots of parcels to deliver but still manages to make you feel special. Worth his weight in gold, you should be very proud to have him as an employee.
