“My package was sent to me while I was away on holiday, it went to the pickup shop, even though I specify that they should try a neighbour, the shop they left it in is also not the one that I specified, now the shop that it is left in only does dpd bulls*it when the post office is open, it just so happen that it is bank holiday, so it is closed, and it is last day i can pick up my package. Oh did I mention that in the package there are insulin pump supplies, which is rather necessary stuff? also the hours of opening specified on the dpd page are not those of the poat office, but of the shop, which made me travel there twice. And all would be understandable and all if it wasn't for the fact that there is absolutely no way to get in touch with any human from this company, chat just throws you in the continuous loop of "let me try try to help you first". I will continue posting 1 star reviews everywhere I can, as automated chat has no way of helping me.”

“Extremely Poor Service – Failed Next Day Delivery & Empty Promises, Zero Star. I’m absolutely appalled by my recent experience with DPD. I paid for next-day delivery for an item I urgently needed by Saturday, 24th August. I waited all day at home with four other people, all of us keeping an ear out for the delivery. We even left clear notes on both the front and back doors telling the driver to ring the bell. Guess what? No delivery. No knock. No card. Nothing. To make matters worse, the photo uploaded by the driver isn’t even of my property — it’s a random location that doesn’t match my address. Either the driver went to the wrong place or didn’t bother trying at all. I called DPD at 3:00 PM and spoke to ****, who assured me that she had contacted the depot and requested the driver to return and deliver the parcel. She told me it would be delivered that day. That never happened. No call. No update. No parcel. This parcel was time-sensitive and critical, and DPD completely failed on all fronts — zero accountability, false reassurances, and appalling customer service. Absolutely unacceptable. DPD – if you're reading this: This kind of failure is becoming way too common with DPD lately, and judging by recent reviews, I’m clearly not alone. 📉 Avoid if your delivery is urgent or time-sensitive.”

“If you're considering using DPD, I'd advise you to read this first. After a DPD driver hit my van, breaking the wing mirror, and drove away, I was left to navigate their appalling customer service. Despite video proof, it took two weeks and three complaints to get a response. I was then tasked with arranging my own quotes for repairs and towing. Their final resolution? A cheque, which could take up to seven working days to arrive, for me to buy and fit the part myself. They offer no compensation for the immense hassle or the fact that my vehicle will be off the road for up to four weeks. The lack of accountability and customer care is shocking. Be warned”

“DPD is unreliable, the customer service is atrocious, they offer no real or verifiable soultions. Only that it will be delivered i have wasted 3 days waiting for a next day delivery each time given time slots via phone, email and chat and reassurances by sender and DPD even the complaints team of DPD assured delivery. In the end i cancelled my purchase and let the sender deal with them.”

“Unable to add details of how to deliver when not in which I can with all other couriers - just no way of doing on DPD. They say online to access ‘Delivery Manager’ on website so that we can add details for all deliveries to an address - but impossible to do if sender hasn’t added the option. DPD - instead of asking for each and every delivery- where we want it and can’t input details if sender hasn’t allowed - Please save default delivery details for an address when receiver is not in - it’ll save all your delivery vans trying to deliver and having to relocate to another drop off address or attempting re-delivery. Absolute waste of fuel,time and resources for all involved. Get your system up to speed in line with your competitors!!!”

“Parcel sent to Australia, arrived in Australia ok. Not delivered as I later found out they don't deliver to PO BOXES, I was not informed of this when the item was accepted. Parcel is supposed be on the way back to the UK? parcel posted 16/6/25 it is now 19/8/25. social media contact ignored. Wrote a letter to them 3 weeks ago and still no reply. Parcel has not been returned either, My details are on the cn22 (Import sticker) . No excuses really. First time using DPD and the last!. Minus 5 stars useless company and service.”

“Another "No one was at home" load of old rubbish from a driver who couldn't be bothered to deliver my parcel. He took a picture of the rear doors of Bell Green library and said it was my front door. A day totally wasted. They're going to send the same guy out on Monday to deliver it again. What's the point of that? This is by far the worst and most dishonest delivery company.”

“No attempt to deliver a parcel that I supposedly "missed" whilst sat inside. When I go outside to talk to the delivery driver they say that they're not from DPD and don't have a parcel for me... so within the time that I received the photo and I walked outside the door my driver magically teleported away, whilst a different one happens to be outside.”

“Absolutely appalling service. A package marked 'Fragile' was smashed and thrown away by DPD. They failed to notify me and when I complained that it hadn't arrived, they simply said marking the box 'Fragile' is 'no use' when it's in the vans or on the conveyor belt - presumably because nobody takes any notice. If they cannot treat the goods with reasonable care, they should refuse anything that is breakable.”

“Seeing lots of the same issues as I have had. 2 parcels, 1 week apart, same problem. Driver lying about attempting to deliver, even making up the name of a person in another flat. Photographs of closed front doors that are meaningless. I think the only way is to complain to people we order from as DPD not interested in receiving complaints or trying to improve.”

“Your driver pretended that he had attempted delivery. A different driver, but same excuse the next day. I have CCTV and nobody came here. I phoned you and you admit that the drivers had not been to my house. Three days of waiting. Still no delivery.”

“Terrible Terrible,if I had read the reviews first,I wouldn't have been in this mess,my parcel was delivered to another address and since it was weekend,I had to wait till Monday,but I couldn't because what I sent out was food and it won't be edible by the day they deliver it,so I paid £4.99 extra to get a VIP delivery the next day which is Saturday, they took my payment,but still insisted they can only deliver it on Monday,I just checked the app today(monday),and they've changed my delivery to Tuesday ,I even called that Friday to tell them how important the delivery was because it contains food inside,I'll rather chew a jean jacket than use dpd services again. 😠 😡”
