“Attempted delivery to the wrong address. Claimed delivery was refused by someone whose name does not match anyone living in the property (or in the whole block of flats). Provided no photo. The parcel traveled back to Germany. Atrocious service.”

“AVOID!!! On 25th June I have reported my parcel missing. I’ve provided all necessary information to DPD regards my over 20kg parcel (full description of packaging, content and even photos). Since that time DPD carried over a month investigation (but still I have no answer to what has happened to my belongings). Now, over 2 months later, I still haven’t received any answers and I’m still waiting to receive money. DO NOT USE DPD!! They’ve provided me with the worst customer service!! I will never use their service again.”

“I sat in all day from 7 AM 4 ft away from my front door ( my pc is in my bay window) email says delivery 4-5 PM at 5.05 PM tracking says you tried to deliver and I wasn't home and that you left a card, I have no card and no one came to the house. I check tracking and it shows a photo of a commercial garage near my house. I get an email to say you will deliver tomorrow, so I call and after 25 minutes of waiting, I get a guy who is very not bothered and really doesn't care at all and just sounds fed up with dealing with this kind of thing, but he does tell me it is unlikely it will be tomorrow despite the email. No wonder you now need to warn callers not to be abusive when they are waiting in the queue. It is like a test to see if you can stay calm and not swear as you failed in every aspect of being a courier. Failed to deliver. Lied when you advised you came to the property, lied that I wasn't home, Took a picture of the wrong place. Advised redel which isn't true, kept waiting 25 minutes to speak to someone who can't help. My nan could run a better courier service on her mobility scooter, your 94% 1 star reviews on here are a clear reflection of your ability, you must be so proud. Just shut down and do everyone a favour, the stress when you know anything is in the hands of dpd is too much to take.”

“What a shocking bad 48 hours of incompetence. I chose the option to have my parcel delivered to my local agent for me to collect from there and duly received my notification my parcel was ready to collect. When I was arrived the agent told me the driver had signed in a consignment of 8 packets but couldn’t leave them and took them away again and would bring them back Friday 30th August. Was not too happy and decided after another 3 hours to contact DPD customer service and suggested that communication makes good customer relations, the depot were not even aware that the parcels were on the drivers van for return. I have had promises of re delivery, promises of returning calls and neither has happened. They explained the driver required more training, the agent is being suspended until. further training has been given. I had a text/email to say my parcel was ready to collect the day before and when I viewed it my parcel had been ripped open, yet another phone call and yet another promise of a taped up parcel delivery and none of it was their fault and if unhappy contact the retailer and I would be looked after under the consumer act blah blah blah. Never experienced such a couldn’t care less attitude in my life ! My parcel has now been recalled to the retailer and hooray for parcel force delivering my goods express delivery. What a shambles of a company.”

“For two days I have been waitng for my delivery, I took off two days from work waiting in for it as it was an important package I needed before going away on holiday. Twice the driver said they tried to deliver the parcel when in fact they didnt even try, they also said they left a card which they didnt. I called into your so called customer services and they were absolutely no help whats so ever. DPD is a complete joke I would NEVER use them ever. I had to cancel my order with Amazon and now I will need to travel to get the item I need. I am really not happy and will do everything in my power to let everyone know that your company does not care about their customers, poor service and time wasting. Thanks for nothing!”

“Do not use! Every parcel has an issue- Last week the parcel took 2 weeks longer due to some lost paperwork, this week out of two parcels I had coming to me one was mislabelled and ended up an hour and a half drive away - i needed it urgently so had to pick it up - the second of the two parcels that were from the same sender on the same day is completely lost!!!! Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe this company.”

“When delivery works, it's fine. I have had some successful deliveries with DPD. However, this is the only courier where I have on several occasions been at home all day, then received a message saying my parcel could not be delivered because I was not available. This happened last week. In all day, the intercom never rang and I received a message with a photo of my block saying delivery was not possible. I thought it was only me this happened to but it now seems I am not alone. I suspect there must be a loophole in their policies for delivery that other companies do not have. Perhaps the driver gets paid for a missed delivery, maybe the same as for when the parcel is actually delivered? So it makes it more worth it for them to pretend they have tried to deliver, collect the fee for that, then come back another day and try the same or actually deliver that time - and collect twice the fee instead of just one fee. That would be my only explanation to this kind of behaviour. When deliveries work, they are OK, overall. But when something goes wrong, its hard to rectify the situation. Talking to their AI chatbot is not always very useful. Getting through to a human is possible and then it's a bit hit and miss as to what service you receive.”

“The worse experience can be, especially if you need the delivery fast. They just take a photo of the front door, which by the way is not mine as it is the door of my neighbour on the same street number and the same yard. They just don't care even to knock the second door to ask as they face 2 doors in the same house 6 meters distance between them. I chat with them (as I got a text message about a delivery that no one was in)just 10 min after the time they tried to deliver, and they said that the driver can 't come back. The main is that the shop I bought the item I was expecting to be delivered, obviously paid them extra charge for a Sunday delivery as they respected that tonight I am travelling abroad for my holiday.”

“Worst experience ever with a company who gives you the complete run around, lies and ignores you! My shipment from overseas got lost, had to pay more in the UK for delivery of one box, and worst of all 16 of my precious item were not just broken but smashed! The overseas companies ‘professional packing’ left no much to be desired and no fragile stickers on the boxes. I have been chasing both companies for damaged (it is insured, have it in writing) but DPD who deals with the claims are not paying up. This is even after I have been asked for receipts for the claim, meaning I had to purchase items in order to get paid the insurance, I was then told they are liable and would pay the full amount until I pointed out the full amount included box 6 which was of s much larger amount. Then suddenly they didn’t want to deal with me anymore and the claim form they said they’d send is not forthcoming! I’ve been chasing this for four months as the amount involved is not something I can afford to lose! Dreadful company who should simply not be trading. Truly stressful and upsetting experience from start to finish....and still going on!!!”

“Shame you can't rate 0. If you want to be ignored by the complaints team and left without help then use this company. If you want your parcel delivered to the wrong street by Craig from Snetterton, who then tells his boss he delivered the parcel... This company is for you. Craig kindly fraudulently signed our signature, a signature dispute raised but no call from complaints dept, this is definitely the company for you. Head office tracked my parcel to an address and sent me there to beg the homeowners for my parcel promising to call straight after to check I was OK. Still no call from cplants team. When chased I am told they will go back to the sender with an answer.. Which is unacceptable as it is OUR NAME that was fraudulently signed. My address my parcel my privacy. Surely GDPR should cover this guys. Utterly ridiculous. Oh and as you call in there is a warning message saying you may wish to complain please be polite.. An indication that something is severely wrong sinead.. Right. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY DO NOT CARE!”

“From the moment you get on the website to arrange parcel delivery, you are being ripped off. Its slogan: 'The Delivery Experts' an outright lie - especially if sending abroad - as I did. On his promotional spiel, the CE, Dwain McDonald (dwain@dpd.co.uk) claims that the company won GovUK sponsored 'The Queen's Award for Enterprise' in 2017 - it did not (though Carillion did!). He also claims that the company profits exceed £1billion. I'm not surprised! Total ripoff, Review on other websites are 1 star and reviews about working for the company are equally unhealthy. AVOID! As for 'customer service', once they know you have a complaint, they blank you on phone and website, so you can't contact. My story of trusting DPD to do the job advertised has ended in tears, both mine and my grandson's!”

“This is the second time DPD have done this to me. The tracking information says attempted delivery but no one was in to sign for the parcel even though I've been in all day and received another parcel from a different courier. Once they delivered a parcel that looked like in had been in ww3 and the box was sodden wet (electical item) DPD service is so bad that I've started to look to make sure there not used when shopping online. In this case the courier details wasn't provided. Never known a service this bad, 5 items brought online at same time, including from ebay and DPD are the last to deliver yet again. I have a feeling the delivery drivers just can't be bothered and say they have attempted delivery. Avoid DPD whenever possible would be my advice. Hate requiring to give them 1 star.”
