They don't deliver

They don't deliver, they take parcel straight to a distant pickup point, using the excuse "as agreed with you, it is being taken to a pickup point", which is a total lie. This happened 3 deliveries in a row. Before that, they never delivered, claiming I was out. They are without a doubt, the worst. All they do is take the package from one country, to another, and let you go and find it. Never use them !!!

Worst courier company

I ordered tires for my car, and dealer made the mistake of sending them with GLS. Courier say they went to the address twice and couldn't find anyone, even though I waited for them from morning until evening. Then they returned the package, without leaving an email or a paper saying they were at the address and that I could pick it up from their warehouse. The worst courier in Austria.

Worst delivery company ever

Worst delivery company ever. They say they will deliver on a given date and then ALWAYS delay by few days, if not weeks, making up excuses and lying on the reports they send to the company you bought goods from. Once they even said we did arrange for a different date, except they never spoke to me about it. Tracking link inexistant, their tracking number does not correspond to the purchase number and they never say in the email which item is on the way. Once a piece of furniture arrived broken, the parcel was mishandled by them.

False delivery attempts

On October 9th, as instructed, I was at home all day to receive my order and unfortunately, the website showed a notice that it was not possible to deliver because there was no one at home , Clearly an untruth, expecting to receive it on the 10th my wife did the same and no one came to our door, Our doorbell is fine, the neighbors were also aware and didn't even try to call.

LOST PACKAGE AND IGNORING ME

I have ordered a package on 22nd of August and as for now it's 8th of September and it still hasn't been delivered. I have a post office right behind the corner and I was at home while at the time of attemped, alleged delivery, but no one showed up and I just got a notification that I wasn't at home. I requested a new delivery 10 days ago, but still haven't got my order. I completed a form on GLS website and sent them an email, but no one responded for 3 days now. I just lost my money.

In my 32 year old life I have never encountered such a terrible delivery company, for almost 30 days I tried to contact the company and in the end I did not get the package. Their automated chat does not help and their phones does not work. 4 different friends try to get a hold of them every day and no response, no response on email either. Truly the worst.

I am waiting for a order since a week. The delivery status tells the last stop in Madrid, for 5 days - no updates.
Get in contact the customer service but they are sending the same message again and again, that I got to contact the company.

I find this very incompetent. Unfortunately I often got no choice over the parcel service.

Untrustworthy and deceptive…

They waste your entire day and take the parcel to their pick up place.
Looks like it is company policy, this way they do more parcel disregarding customers.
I hope companies will stop using them, there are outstanding curriers that do the proper job
