“The worse delivery company ever. First they tell me my package is delayed. Now, they tell me my package was refused by me. Its unbelievable! Nasty delivery men as well. Dishonest company!!”

“Lost a parcel valued at £150. When I say lost, it went ‘missing’ between collection point and depot. Big bright green parcel. I noticed a problem on the app within 3 days, but when I tried to sort with the call centre, was passed around like a ping pong ball over 3+weeks. Communication very poor, complete system and procedure failure, and £50 compensation. I am now out of pocket by £100 due to the theft of their employee. No action taken by DPD.”

“They lost my package (sent it to another country!) because they switched the labels along the way. Only way to speak to them is on chat and they take 30 min each time to only send me a scripted message asking me to wait fir the investigation. It's been 13 days.. never never again.”

“Asked for parcel to be delivered to a neighbor. Quite clear instruction. I get a text to say no one at home. Neighbor not even seen the driver pull up outside my house and they have been in all morning. Going to redeliver tomorrow....... see what happens”

“Don't take accountability when they get it wrong. Delivered a parcel to the wrong address and even though I had the delivery 'confirmation' photo as proof it was the wrong address, still don't recompense customers - you have to go through the seller as they "don't deal directly with customer complaints". They are a business, which means they have a finance department, which means they should be able to recompense customers when they so blatantly screw it up instead of turning it into a 10 step process and leaving you out of pocket.”

“I was given a 1 hour window for the parcel to be delivered. As in many times before, i got a message, saying that i missed the delivery, which in as many times before, was a lie. No one was even attempting to deliver a parcel at the specific time. As usual, no card was left as they were nowhere near my place. To be honest i gave just about a 20% chance for the parcel to be delivered as promised by the DPD. From now on I will be avoiding buying goods from companies, who use the "dpd next day service " If they can't deliver the parcel, no need to lie to costumers and waist their time. I wouldn't say a word if they can notify in advance that they can't deliver today but will deliver tomorrow.”

“Absolutely shocking "service". Parcel reported as being delivered to a house that has been derelict for over 60yrs, not even on the same road. Bad enough to have to deal with customer service once (a pointless exercise) but the driver has just gone and done it again! Rang enquiring as to my orders whereabouts and told "Patrick" I was just home from hospital after a hip procedure and can't go on the treasure hunt I apparently signed for. His response was "you mustn't be too bad when you can ring me complaining"!!!! DPDs incompetence, ignorance and blatant stupidity is astounding. Will add photos of my new/old house! Advise anyone to find an alternative to DPD”

“Today was the 5th time this month a package has failed to be delivered to my house. Drivers claim that no one was home during the delivery slot, but this is a complete lie. It's the same pattern every time. I'm not sure what the issue is as all other companies deliver successfully on time. My guess is that either DPD drivers are cancelling slots on purpose due to unachievable delivery schedules or that they just can't be bothered. Customer service is equally dismal. I'm not sure whether the blame is on individuals who work for the company or the company itself and the conditions that are set for DPD workers. It seems that DPD as a company that set ridiculous delivery schedules promising the earth and under-delivering, forcing employees to have to resort to these tactics of cancelling delivery slots to keep up with the schedule and avoid penalties or repercussions from DPD. This is simply the worst delivery service and one of the most dishonest companies I have ever dealt with.”

“Driver name “Damian” is extremely unprofessional, rude and unfit for the job. He was acting as a time ticking bomb. Worst ever experience I ever had with any delivery person. People like him sabotage the efforts put in by the company to build reputation. I will definitely not order anything from the company using DPD services.”

“I was initially given a date to receive my parcel on a day that I was working so I had no choice but to upgrade my delivery. On the day that I was to receive my package it was then redirected to a later date "due to an expected error" with no hope of getting it even when I offered to collect it at the depot”

“I order from a company who use DPD so I am stuck with fortnightly delivery from Scott, the driver with attitude who thinks it is ok to drive on my lawn. He first did so in July. I complained but received no contact or response. Again in August by which time I had dug and reserved,again September”
