“Was waiting for my parcel to be delivered this morning. Delivery driver never attempted to deliver the item. Didn't even ring my door bell. Will cost £6 if I ring to complain. Wouldn't touch then with a barge pole”

“Do not use this awful company. The parcel I sent was not delivered, they say it has come open but I know how well I packaged it. I now do not know where it is, and impossible to speak to a human being. Hours spent trying to sort it, large sum of money wasted and very upset that my friends did not receive the beautiful gift I had made for them”

“Terrible service and absolutely zero help from customer service. I was waiting for this delivery all day, I stayed at home and constantly checked the map. When I saw that my delivery is coming next, my boyfriend went outside to help the driver to find the property. My boyfriend saw the delivery driver who parked about 100 m away from the property. He tried to reach the driver, however the driver wasn't planning to deliver the parcel, he left his car for about a second, he looked right and left and then sat back to his car and left. He hasn't even tried to deliver the parcel. I'm absolutely shocked about DPD service. I would never deal with this organisation as they are not trying to deliver good customer service and I don't think they even care. This situation has happened to us twice and that's the reason why my boyfriend left the house in advance to help the driver. Awful. I wouldn't recommend this delivery service to anyone.”

“my delivery date was 29th Nov, as of today 1st Dec still no delivery. Even with delivery instructions and my phone number still no delivery, Dpd CEO escalations team have tried but even they are unable to get the Swansea depot to deliver to me. This delivery was a surprise bouquet of flowers for my Birthday, they are roses which are probably dead by now. If you wish to have flowers delivered dont use Dpd, they arent good at delivering, but really good at spoiling a Birthday.”

“Completely useless, but it seems I am not the only one. Waited in for a delivery and got a message saying they couldn't deliver as I wasn't in. No delivery card and no photo. Difficult to find any support but got through to a support chat and they confirmed that the driver hadn't even attempted a delivery. But they couldn't do anything about it. Finally told they could not give out any sort of links for a complaint. Would give 0 stars if the system allowed it and will never touch DPD again.”

“Hi, I live in a block of flats, in Swindon town centre (Sn1 postcode) The building is called the David Murray John Tower. I have experienced first hand dpd and dpd local not bothering delivering parcels here because it takes a while 60 seconds to get to the very top floor! Today, December 1st 2020 at approximately 10am I witnessed a dpd delivery man, walk up to the building, some 20 foot away from the entrance and take a photo. No parcel was in his hand. I am disgusted with this, it happens on a regular basis and this is NOT acceptable. I have informed all residents off this and previous experiences and warned them off using dpd in the future. I acknowledge some 50 or so people will not dent dpds income, however in this day in age where everything is bought online word of mouth travels fast especially with the likes of social media. Also, please note this takes away the very good work most of your drivers who do their job properly. Who I have myself and my wife gave fantastic feedback on your app. I will also be sending this email to the director of customer experience. Terrible.”

“If I could do zero stars I would. I never really leave reviews, but wanted to warn people the customer services of this company is absolute shambles. Because of covid I was unable to see my newborn nephew. Long story short. I sent him a box full of clothes and books. I made sure I sellotaped the whole box so it wouldn't get damaged. It arrived squashed, a great big hole on the corner. Everything was ruined, my sister had to bin the lot. What annoyed me the most is DPD refused to take responsibility, the delivery driver purposely took a photo of the undamaged side if the box and left. When asked what happened, he replied not my problem. After weeks of filling out claim form which wouldn't submit, I gave up. The stress this caused was immense.”

“Terrible company, unreliable, disgusting attitude. Never use your service again. NOT RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE !!!!! i feel powerless how one company treats people`s personal property so carelessly, destroying people`s personal things without bothering to inform the owners of the package at all. Without asking if you want to get your products back , whether they are okay or not. you take them and just destroy them. I ask why??? Don`t you think that I have doubts that you actually took my expensive treatment preparation and you are trying to convince me at the moment, that you do not know what happened etc??? I really want to see some evidence, is it a picture or some kind of testimony, that my packaging was damaged and things were broken inside and you haven't taken them. I want some evidence of what happened to MY things, what you innocently destroyed. You said that some liquid came from there, which is a lie, because there was nothing in my belongings that contained liquid. I can confirm with the papers that the package that came the previous day from Texcom was delivered to the DPD post next day. Also I have confirmations of bank statements. Is your company so unreliable that if I dont insure the contents in exact amount, it wont arrive or will be destroyed? Send me a picture of my products before you started to destroy them!!!! In addition, I have a question as to why, for my part, I must begin to investigate, where my consignment is located without you bothering to inform me, that things had already been destroyed by that time? We investigated the status of our package, not that you signaled it yourself. My child's health has been insanely affected by this whole situation, and you must take responsibility for your action. I have never experienced such problems with other companies.”

“The delivery drivers are more often than not professional and on time. DPD's problem lies with their warehousing. No one cares about your parcel and the amount of times I've received a damaged product due to mishandling in the warehouse is utterly disgraceful. Honestly, my heart sinks whenever I see that this incompetent company will be delivering my parcel.”

“Cheerful, friendly service from Leon, carried my heavy parcel inside for me rather than leave it on the doorstep. On time and courteous, can not fault him.”

“Worst service ever. Never ever posted a bad review before but here goes.. The driver came to deliver and insisted I accept the parcel physically which I informed him was not correct due to Covid-19. He got annoyed and walked off angrily along with our parcel even though I was standing by the door. We are in a global pandemic and the guy was insisting we accept the item in person. After ringing DPD customer service to let them know about his behaviour, I was told the item was being sent back to the supplier by a second driver who didn’t even attempt to redeliver. Unbelievable!!! We needed the item especially given that a member of the household has been shielding (due to an underlying health condition). The driver’s behaviour was unacceptable but the follow up customer service agent I spoke to (which was nonchalant at best) and also refused my request to speak to a supervisor. Not that DPD care about members of the public but I will now find an alternative provider / reliable delivery service. Family & friends have also been warned.”

“Missed delivery even though I was in at the stated time. Was relying on delivery on my day off and cannot call them as they charge exorbitant rates for calls. To add insult to injury they even sent a snapshot of my front door claiming they were outside at 0905 while we were both in, one in the kitchen twenty foot away, one upstairs at the front of the house with window ajar. Before buying online in future I'll check who they use for delivery and avoid”

“Second time in a month I missed my delivery. Absolutely disgusting sick of waiting in all day for them to not even bother to try & deliver my parcel. Showing photos that are clearly not my address disgusting. You now on par with my hermes the worst courier in the UK. Congratulations As you can clearly see from the picture can't even be bothered to take a picture of the address he has supposed to have been to my house does not have horrible stones outside first of all.”

“Ordered my item, next day delivery, driver couldn't find the house. ( Only courier firm that ever has problems locating me). I was patient and waited another 2 days for delivery, the item was delivered to the wrong house and the photo that was taken was so blurry it looks like it was taken by someone having a stroke on a digital camera from 1901. It's not my house but after wandering around my village trying to find it I managed to recognize a neighbour's doormat in the photi, the item is gone and the service department were about as much use as chocolate teapot, no info or advice, just hours on the phone waiting whilst staff checked their OS maps as they obviously don't have any computers or have an understanding of gps!”
