“Had three deliveries from Gusto, two were DPD. Both were delivered to wrong addresses. When I phoned DPD to ask where they were I was told they knew where they were but could not tell me, other than they we near, so I should go out and look around to see if I could find it. If not contact the seller, then he laughed.”

“The worst courier company in UK. The driver just put on the photo of his hand and showed 'we missed you' when I am waiting the whole morning at home. This is the second time I encountered this problem with DPD out of 3 deliveries I got but I never had such experence from other courier companies. It seems this is a very common problem with DPD judging from other users' comments. They should take it more serious toward the drivers who did this.”

“Dpd driver a liar as sent photo of road with little snow on?? What a excuse for not delivering, I’ve had half a day off work, to sought out other deliveries today which I’ve received from Amazon and also my shopping delivery from Tesco and Iceland drivers who managed to deliver to me,, i have ring doorbell evidence of these deliveries, but yet your dpd driver is a liar, jobsworth, that cuts corners and cannot do his job, why not employ someone that can do the job, will be putting full complaint in to dpd and also putting it on the internet and going to local press”

“I have been waiting for a parcel that was already delayed by a week. I wasnt at home but spoke to the driver on my Ring doorbell and asked him to leave it in my ‘safe place’ and i told him where my safe place was. He would not leave the parcel even though i said on camera that I took responsibility and would be home in 5 minutes. He still didnt leave the parcel. I phoned customer services and told them, they told me that it has to be logged on the system for the safe place and told me that the driver wouldnt return even though he would still be in the area. Not impressed with dpd on this occasion!”

“What a disaster! Delivered to the WRONG TOWN!!!! After my first notification, I called them, spoke to them, explained they had the wrong address. No problem, they said, we'll fix it. And today, I get notified it has now been delivered - to the earlier wrong town. Each time I expect a parcel from DPD, it is a disaster.”

“The worst delivery service available. A shame for the name. This is how they drivers show that "they've missed you" when all the family was at home and he didn't even rang the door bell. Disgusting”

“The rating should be in the minus not plus for this company! Here I am waiting for my Smart TV to arrive and get a text to say address query problem with the courier! Will probably never see my parcel this side of the new year if ever from DPD! Got the first parcel from them on time in the Summer okay when I had a parcel delivered first but,the second time was a nightmare! Near on four times they said the driver had turned up and I wasn't there and I was outside on the driveway the whole time they said he had passed by in the van!?!? They are beyond a joke of a company! When the driver did eventually near on two weeks after I ordered my parcel online later show up with my parcel he remained in the van didn't even get out! And to say he had manners would be a understatement! I never want to have a parcel delivered by them EVER again! Never again after my experience with them,and if your reading this take my advice... Avoid big time!”

“My Samsung phone is still no where to be found after their driver reported delivered to a neighbour. He put a photo of 2 legs of man standing against white door frame on what looks like a terraced house. He put a first name Mark, no face , no address for me to go and get my parcel. None of my neighbours have a white door frame, non ars called Mark, our houses are detached. 5 days gone and DPD Cant even get their driver to go and retrieve my phone. Driver knew my parcel was a phone. Totally unacceptable and left without my phone up to now. Beware of DPD.”

“About 4 months ago a driver out of the Liverpool Stonebridge depot, called Stephen, delivered a 4 kilo parcel to a wrong address, took a signature from them, and photographed the delivery. Wrong people, wrong address, wrong signature, unknown photo. I caught the mistake, midday, rang within 30 minutes, and was told not to worry, they’d send him back to get it. £27.79 lost. The seller was a TikTok private seller. I was furious, so lodged a complaint. That was the start. To date, nineteen deliveries by DPD driver Stephen have been ‘lost’ , ‘ refused’ , ‘ undeliverable’ or ‘ no one home’ …. That’s a joke, I’m housebound disabled…where was I at the time? Paragliding? Mountaineering? Latest batch was 5 items from George Asda. 4 items were Black Friday deals. They’ve been returned to Asda, and if I want them again? They’ll cost me 40% more. I looked for an ombudsman to intervene. There isn’t one. This terrible company are employing thieves, malcontents, lazy dilatory scumbags , and we have only ONE recourse….. to sue them in the small claims court. But we can’t even do that. You can’t sue for terrible service, it has to be for financial loss. For now, where possible, check if the seller you buy from uses DPD. I now email every company I’m thinking of buying from before I order. No more Amazon I’m afraid. Terrible, terrible company.”

“My parcel should have been delivered to my home address but your company took it upon yourselves to have it delivered to the Post Office in the next village. The item in question was bulky and due to my having mobility issues the whole idea was for it to be delivered to my home. This is the second time this has happened to me. I tried using your app to chat to a customer service personnel but when it came to my turn to chat the app wouldn't allow me to. Kept saying DPD was not responding. An absolute shambles. Before I order anything from a company on line I shall check if its with your selves. If it is I will not order the goods.”

“Their deliverymen consistently dumps the packages in public areas without ringing doorbells. 2 of my 3 orders I found at the entrance of apartment block by sheer luck, but the 1st one is definitely stolen. I have been in contact with them for over 10 days now. They sent me a "your parcel was delivered!" email even though there was neither a note nor a parcel delivered to me (I was at home the whole day). There was even a fake delivery note with my name written incorrectly and fake signature, a few days later the fake delivery note disappeared from system.. A few days later they claimed the parcel was delivered to a neighbour and gave an address on another street. I went to the address and unsurpsiringly the resident had not received anything in my name. Finally they just sent me an email advising me to tell the seller to open an investigation... The seller is ColumbiaSportswear, which will probably take another few weeks to process. It was a Black Friday item for winter and even if i get a refund (probably in about 2 months) i will have lost a lot of money. From now on i will NOT shop online from companies using DPD, so columbia sportswear is off the list too.”
