The day before the delivery was due I appreciated being invited to leave alternative instructions in the event that I couldn't be at home during the allocated time slot - either in a safe place, with a neighbour or at a local pick-up point. So no need to hang around at home waiting for my delivery if the timing was inconvenient. First thing this morning I was notified by text and email of a one-hour time slot for my parcel to be delivered, and it duly arrived during that time slot. Although clearly very busy, the driver, Matt, was courteous and friendly. People tend to only leave reviews when things go wrong, so to be fair to DPD I'm leaving a review to confirm that they delivered my parcel efficiently.
