Right, where to begin with the absolute shambles that is DPD? If you value your time, your sanity, or indeed, receiving your parcels, steer well clear. I've had the distinct displeasure of experiencing their "delivery service" twice in as many weeks, and on both occasions, they've claimed attempted deliveries that simply did not occur.
Let's focus on the most recent debacle, shall we? A "delivery" attempted by a driver named Marian. Apparently, the simple act of using a telephone to dial a number - a feat managed by most toddlers - was beyond this individual's capabilities. Instead of a quick call, I received precisely nothing. No parcel, no call, just a phantom "attempted delivery" notification. One can only assume that the complexities of modern telecommunications were simply too much to bear.
Frankly, I've encountered garden snails with a greater grasp of basic instructions. DPD, you've demonstrated a truly spectacular level of incompetence. I wouldn't trust your drivers to find their way out of a paper bag, let alone deliver a parcel. Avoid at all costs.
