“This is an absolutely dreadful company and service - every time they are used there is an issue. Waited in today and after the time slot enquired where parcel is ,they said the driver missed us ! On to chat for over 1/2 hour no response at all! Apparently to call them is £6 a call”

“Never actually manage to deliver to me without incident. Had to chase one delivery down the street to get him to give me my parcel, despite waiting in all day with the front door open. 2nd delivery didn’t even make it into my street before telling me I’d missed them. Absolutely useless, use DHL instead is my advice”

“Waiting for a delivery today and given a time window wife waited all day never came. Somehow I see this company going out of business eventully. Wife got on the chat and nothing resolved in fact the rep said she had to go as other people are waiting, what a circus DPD is. Bad service. Look at the % only 5% reviews that's bad news for any company.”

“The DPD delivery driver crashed into my car and drove off without leaving contact details. The depot are refusing to compensate for the damage despite us providing full car reg, the driver's name and photos from an accident. I'm appalled at their attitude. Just want my car fixed. One star is too much but there's no option for no stars. Absolutely criminal.”

“Absolutely useless! Turned up at the address when someone was at home, said no one was at home. Didn’t leave or contact the concierge. Came back the next day, again, someone in the flat and the concierge waiting in the front of the building as I tracked the driver. App said 15 mins to arrival warned the concierge who said he saw a dpd van pull up take a photo of the front of the building and drove past. I then received the photo saying sorry we missed you, you must have been out. Outrageous service and will never use them again, nor will I use the vendor if they continue with DPD.”

“Dreadful service, after saying that my parcel was arriving at 14.00 on a Saturday, five days later I'm still expecting the parcel, no reply, no information, the app doesn't help at all, my parcel is held at a depot, it's a valuable item and nobody explains what's going on. MB”

“Shocking company, drivers always thrashing vans around trying to get 100 plus deliveries done in a day whilst staying inside a calculated Eta window. Would never use this company to deliver a parcel of mine as the app is useless and tells you they have been to your address when they clearly haven't. Avoid !”

“Useless company should only use hermes or royal mail if you want a parcel delivered or sent”

“Absolutely useless delivery service. Customer service is awful too - expect to be lied to over and over. They didn’t deliver an item next day after I paid for next day delivery. They then tried to make me lodge a complaint against the delivery driver as opposed to offering me a refund for the extra delivery cost charged. Then to top things off they promised a supervisor would call back to get me off the phone… and of course I never received a call back. Waste of time and money.”

“Terrible experience with DPD. I refused a delivery and told the driver expecicaly to send it back to sender only to have it redelivered again next day. I missed another delivery and called them to rearrange to have the items redeliver them, I was told they would be delivered yesterday, I am still waiting for the delivery....as of today”

“If I could give zero stars, I would. I have had two collections booked. The first, they never turned up but marked it as ‘when we arrived we were advised the items were not ready to collect’ which is an utter lie. I then had to wait a week for a rearranged collection, and they once again never arrived, and marked it as ‘when we arrived we were told there was nothing to collect’. Customer service advised me the driver said he was ‘in a rush’. Perhaps in a rush delivering a baby? In a rush to deliver guns to a scary arms dealer? In a rush to go to the bathroom? All fine reasons, we are all human, but don’t lie and say ‘nothing to collect’, ask to reschedule. They have lied twice about things ‘not being ready/nothing to collect’. So, in summary, DPD are ridiculous liars who don’t do their job, proven twice in short succession, and I suggest you stay miles away from this company as it’s useless for its intended purpose of collecting and delivering things. An update: I spoke with someone on the phone earlier today at DPD who said the driver would come back later today to collect, and the person on the phone said they would ring me to give an update later. This didn't happen. At 5pm I rang DPD again and was advised that under no circumstances was the driver coming back as he ended his shift at 2pm! How ridiculous! So, I was lied to THREE TIMES BY DPD.”

“Pretty much the worst tracking site. Each search gave a different status with one of them saying that the item was returned. I am awaiting a suspense filled delivery”

“An absolute joke. The driver tries to deliver to the wrong address - the street at the back of my house so it shows the correct area on their gps - takes a picture of that building and, when I enquire through the app, keeps sending me the same picture over and over. No other way of contacting them: the phone has a message with no option to speak to someone, What'sApp: a person was supposed to message me 26 minutes ago... still no answer. I had to call the supplier - who were brilliant - so they could cancel the delivery and send the goods back to me with another carrier. Absolutely appalling.”

“Parcel was posted on the 27th of July to arrive on the 28th of July. 4th of August the track Parcel website said it had been picked up and delivered to my DPD pickup shop, no info on where this was. This is in effect useless info. Further attempts to track my parcel revealed the parcel was in Nottingham, nowhere near my DPD pickup shop in Scotland. An attempt to call the company on a mobile number cost me £6.39. To get a warning that it would cost £ 6.00 for the call plus local call cost, this call was all of 5 seconds. On line help desk gave about five options of answers, none relating to a parcel that hadn't been delivered for the first time without a one hour delivery slot being given. I asked to speak to somebody that could actually help. I was then put on to a supervisor who told me nothing more, no reason for the 12 days it had taken so far or when it would be delivered for definite. It seems the company do not want to deal with complaints or help their customers, they would rather give them the run around. The first Mobil number I was given was an independant company who charges £6.00 to pass you call to DPD. This is to discourage phone contact with DPD. Absolutely the worst customer experience with any company I have ever dealt with. Expect it might arrive after 14 days but not holding my breath.”

“They dont even attempt to make the delivery. I purchased an item for it to just have a journey in a van for a few days with no attempt at delivery. A truly abysmal company”

“DPD delivery service is just terrible. Perhaps they often hire very incompetent delivery guys. I hope none of serious companies (e.g., Samsung, Apple, etc) use this company.”

“Absolutely disgusting driver shouting at my 12yr old that if he sees my dog he is gonna kick it. When he was repeatedly told to get off my premises he repeatedly shouted he will kick my dog and then swore at me”
