“Their systems of communication don't work, asked for deliveries to be left with neighbors on 3 separate occasions, automated confirmation replies but the driver didn't get the message. Tried to contact their customer services after each time and got no reply.”

“Absolutely useless! Somehow how managed to ship my package to Suffolk when I live in Nottingham. No explanation as to why and no apology. If possible avoid at all costs.”

“They tell you your parcel will be with you the next day and even promise a time slot. Then say its at your local depot waiting to be delivered then ten minutes before they close change the delivery day to the next day so the the bullshit stars all over again there absolutely crap don't use them.”

“Friday: Asked for my parcel to be redelivered the next day to a pick-up shop (saturday) to which the system confirmed as going ahead. Saturday: The package didn't arrive so I wasted 30 minutes on their phoneline, for a gentlemen, who just lied to me about a driver not being available and then rebooked it for the Sunday at the same place (with some pretend email verification). Sunday: The package didn't arrive on Sunday so I wasted 30 minutes on their phoneline, for another employee to tell me that next day service doesn't work on Saturday or Sunday so both their online system and the previous employee were either purposefully obscuring the truth of the situation or it's just another excuse. Monday: The package didn't arrive so I wasted 30 minutes on their phoneline, for a gentlemen to not give me a single reason why yet again they have failed to deliver it, having lead me on the whole weekend. Another pointless email saying it will be delivered the next day oh and they have raised a complaint... yeah right. Dishonest. Slow. Incompetent. Don't use this company.”

“Literally the worse delivery experience I have ever had. Bought an expensive designer coat from a trusted website who use DPD as their courier. I selected the timeslot 14:00-15:00 and took an early finish at work to make sure I was in. I then had a text saying it had been delivered to a safe place and a photo of a shed somewhere!? I did not select for it to be left in a safe place and there are no sheds on my street! I then phoned DPD who seemed helpful enough and said Phil, the driver was last located about 20mins away from my house and has now finished for the day! And that he will try pick up parcel and return tomorrow - which was no good as I am working and not finishing early again! The next day comes and I hear nothing from DPD so decided to drive to the address I was given, only to be told that there was no parcel delivered there by the young man. Still have heard nothing back from DPD, I have now contacted the shop that I purchased the coat from to try and get a refund.. Reading these reviews it looks like this happens a lot! How is this company still running!?”

“ordered something for next day delivery, due to arrive Saturday. I was in throughout the entire booking slot they gave me, and recieved a text saying I wasn't in and they'd left a calling card. There was no calling card and the picture the driver has taken of its location was a blur, so I'm assuming he didn't even attempt to make the delivery. I called dpd to sort this out, and was hung up on after waiting 10mins without even getting through to an advisor. When I finally spoke to someone she assured me they would deliver it as a priority the next day and call if any issues. However, no delivery the next day and when I called again to ask what was going on I was told no space for my parcel in the van (for a small parcel that weighed barely anything!). If I hadn't have called they wouldn't have been in touch to let me know about the delay. I decided to collect myself from depot. Very disappointed. I was told to go directly to the company I'd ordered from for a refund so I'm still waiting on a that. will not be using again.”

“Appalling customer service. Driver failed to meet delivery slot and day. DPD contacted driver and said he was out of driving hours. They later confirmed he was not out of driving hours - it was a blatant lie. As a carer for my father, I incurred costs of £60 for someone to look after my father so I could stay home the following day to await DPD delivery. Despite requests for some help to cover the additional financial burden, they were not interested. Told me to approach the sender. The sender was in no way at fault, but DPD do not resolve problems caused by their own failings. Do not deal with this company if you have any other alternative. Contacting their CEO will not help, as she is also not interested in helping resolve financial losses caused by DPD.”

“i have been waiting for a parcel from DPD for 3 days ,They have sent emails to me stating that they have tried to deliver my parcel on 2 occasions when i have been at home waiting by the window for my delivery and no dpd driver insight .They posted pictures of my front door and on both occasions the photos were not of my door and were different doors on each attempt. They then promised me an express delivery the next day at 10:30 it is now 11:30 and it still has not arrived.I have been phoning DPD and they are telling me i will have to wait to 13:30 to receive my parcel . That if i am lucky enough that he doesn't go to the wrong address again, What a crap delivery service ,do they even care about their customers?”

“Blatant lies from DPD! Two days in a row they claim to have been unable to deliver my parcel as I wasn't in - both times I was at home waiting for the door bell to ring. They also claim they left a card - they didn't, they couldn't, as they have been nowhere near my house! Why lie to your customer DPD, what does that do for your company ratings?! I would rather you had said that you couldn't be bothered!”

“Paid for next day delivery from "Jo Loves" fragrance- I was unexpectedly out so I reorganised for next day, 3 days later parcel turns up opened and crushed. Very poor. I asked for a call back (they were too busy when I called) they called me back 7 hours later than promised, no apology, they confirmed parcel had now arrived, but when I collected it was in the poor condition I described ! Hopeless.”

“Awful. They regularly do not show up. A complete "can't be bothered" attitude from everyone - from their drivers to their depots and the middle and senior management. They have no concept of customer service and have no appreciation for their customers' time, which they are happy to waste. Rude, unhelpful arrogant. Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!”

“i downloaded the app to explain which buzzer it was etc and also left my phone number AND wrote that they can leave my package with any neighbour. I was in when they 'attempted' to deliver, I phoned dpd and they said they had no notes of the instructions I was given, she left instructions and said they would come back 'later this afternoon' and of course, they have been back. My boyfriend also ordered something which was being delivered by dpd and they 'attempted to deliver' on two days, but 'couldn't get access to the building', and he ended up having to get his parcel from a shop. Most of the things I order are from amazon and thankfully, they usually don't use dpd, but dpd are consistently terrible. All other delivery companies ring the doorbell, but this doesn't seem to be part of their 'expertise'...”

“Failed to deliver my parcel today when we were in and they did not leave a card despite saying they had. I conclude that there was no attempt to deliver the parcel. Very poor service and almost impossible to contact to complain.”

“Appalling Despite, previous messages they delivered a parcel to my home address, this was in spite of my reasons why they should do not do this given they had previously delivered to my front hedge. The package was left with a neighbour yesterday and when I retrieved it from them it was damaged and covered in 'RESEALED BY DPD with care' tape. No explanation of why this happened When I opened the parcel only one of the two FreeStyle Libre sensors was present. One of these expensive, delicate medical items has gone missing. The enclosed delivery note stated 2 sensors were dispatched. This really isn't good enough”
