“Their driver didn’t even ring my doorbell when he tried to deliver my parcel. I have ring doorbell he didn’t even come to my door. The customer service is absolutely shocking you manage to speak to someone who you can barely understand or who can understand you and just get told there’s nothing we can do. Get a phone call from the dunstable depot answer it it cuts off trying to ring back sends you to two different depots then try again and it tells you it’s closed. I will never use this service again or any company that use them to deliver parcels. Unpick couldn’t give no stars”

“Always delayed, terrible information updates, poor service, rubbish bot answers on their website when you want to speak to them. Just garbage.”

“What an awful company. I was out when an unexpected Saturday delivery was attempted. The message was it would be taken to a pickup location, one that is not convenient, but has in fact gone back to their depot in Reading. I then had the pleasure (not!) of using their chat system to attempt a redirection to the correct address which they pointedly refused to do as their systems can't do that (that was after the first advisor just ended the chat). Instead if they fail on the first delivery it will go to a pick-up centre within a TEN mile radius. Not for me. Have cancelled the delivery with the supplier and advised unless they change from DPD I shall never use them again.”

“Driver did not ring bell or use door knocker. Van seen outside through window. Opened door to find card on the stone slab outside. Van departed. Called out to driver but the driver kept on going. I will never ever buy from any seller that uses Dpd again.it appears they con't know how to use a door knocker or use a door bell. No point in booking redelivery if they don't.”

“Dpd treated my parcel like a dead beat dad. They took it out the depot everyday for a week promising to deliver. Then sent it back and blocked me.”

“they are monumental at messing up orders and customer services being ABSOLUTELY clueless i genuinely almost never leave online reviews for negative experiences, but dpd warrant it and more. how this company can call itself a reputable delivery company is beyond belief having sent ONE shipment of 12 boxes abroad with all the relevant customs, they broke a box and sent the entire shipment to the UK to an old address which we no longer lived at and had no one to accept the parcels they agreed to change the return address to find out that the agent did nothing and let it go back to the old address - the boxes which didnt get lost that is several boxes went to our old addres.. several boxes went to the requested address, several went to some random address in the vicinity.. and 2 were lost now we are trying to reschedule a collection for the boxes which went to the old address and they continuously just dont show up for collection for "unknown reasons" to quote customer service every time they fail to show up they make you reprint shipping labels which is completely outdated as no one owns printers in 2023 they are not willing to address any or their errors and their support agents just try and get you off the line, pass you to another number, or dont respond in support chats this company needs investigating and shutting down”

“Waited through the hour timeslot only to get a message saying the driver was running late, tracking was then unavailable from that point onwards. An hour later I get a sorry we missed you message without so much as a notification it was even close. Shambles of a company.”

“I would not prefer any one to DPD, if you are buying any thing from online then just make sure they dont used DPD for the delivery. Its not sure on DPD that you will get your delivery on time. You have to run as there timing still it will not be sure that you will get your delivery on time. On my case they didnt give me address change option and they send me the delivery time , i take a hour gap from work and come home for the parcel. I was waiting fir the parcel and on the end they mail me that they are not able to deliver on the date so they will come back later. It means if you are waiting for delivery then make sure to take 2-3 days off from your work. Even if you pay £4.99 also you have to work as per there timing. Totally shittyyyyyyyy delivery service”

“DPD is the worse company you can work for. Underpaid drivers , long hrs from 7am to 7pm because of wait in depo. They treat drivers like slaves. Drivers wait for hours in the depot for loading and unloading. my husband works at DPD Southampton Hedge End and the managers treat drivers horribly and expect a lot in return for nothing.”

“Every time I am expecting a delivery from DPD I am let down. I specifically arranged for a delivery today on the 5th of June as I will be at work all other days and the package cant be opted for pick up from a depot. And the driver has taken a picture of the bottom of the steps outside the flat and said missed it. I left specific instructions on how to find my front door and he didn't even bother attempting to enter the building, every time shocking company.”

“Luckily you can ban Amazon from using DPD to send to you. Appalling service to our village, many instances of non delivery or incorrect delivery, do not tell truth DPD have a long history of non delivery in our village in South Glos. The Cardiff depot are the problem apparently. You can ban Amazon from using them thankfully, I think I did it over the phone. However yesterday someone tried to use them to deliver an important prescription. We waited in, DPD when they were a stop away said it was delayed in transit. Then the next day even whilst having a safe place specified they said sorry we missed you. We were all here waiting. The doorbell history shows no one rang and we were sat out the front of the house. Appalling service and very frustrating to deal with as its all recorded messages. The only truly dreadful courier there is, all others seem to range from OK to excellent.”

“Paid extra to get a delivery on a Saturday. Got my hour time slot for delivery. Following driver on GPS through their app and he's about a mile away when I get a notification "We couldn't deliver to you" and a picture that is 95% black with absolutely no other details. Instantly call customer support who confirm he was about a mile from me and never even got near my road before claiming he couldn't deliver to me. Driver ignores calls from customer support. Customer support claim driver has been sent my details and will redeliver today, he will call me if he can't find my house..... Hours pass and I hear nothing. I call customer support again. Driver has taken my item back to the depot. Thanks for wasting a day and the cost of delivery. The guy literally has one job and cannot do it.”

“What an absolute joke!!! Pay good money for VIP named delivery day to guarantee you will be home and get your parcel - then they say it will come tomorrow! Been sat in their depot for a week!”

“They failed to deliver my parcel and said to me that they will deliver the next day. The next day their driver who's name is Hling or something went to a wrong address in a different area and updated the app to say I wasn't home. That driver must have 1 brain cell if his lost with the parcel. DPD office then told they will inform the driver to come round again to redeliver but the driver didn't. I needed the parcel and DPD are asking me to collect from my local Matalan!!! Honestly the worst delivery service in the world. Such a horrible service and garbage company!”

“I have now had 10, yes I said 10, deliveries/collections failed by DPD. Most recently was today, I paid extra for next day delivery yesterday, before 12 as the person receiving the parcel is leaving for Spain early hours of tomorrow morning. The driver collected the parcel yesterday as booked, the online tracking system updated showing that they had received the parcel and then it went wrong. Recent update states, delivery delay and will be updated in 24 hours. This is NOT good enough, the person receiving this parcel will be in Spain by then. I contacted DPD to establish the issue, only to be informed that they can not help me and to wait 24 hours. I even offered to personally drive to the local depot, collect the parcel myself and deliver it. Only to be informed that I can not do that. I can not collect MY items and deliver them. I have paid for a service from DPD, the service that this company is meant to fulfil and they have once again failed. I will never use DPD again.”

“We were in waiting for our delivery, instead of ringing the bell on our front door the driver decided to wander up the back garden path and seemingly just take a photo of the porch and go away again taking our parcel with him. Instead of receiving our parcel we got a stupid "oops we missed you" message. Contacting customer service is a complete joke, the phone number is simply a dead end recorded message and the "chat" is completely ignored. We hope to actually get our parcel today by one of us staying by the front door and one of us stationed in the back garden, we do not have high hopes for receiving our parcel even then. We are disappointed that Vodafone is using such a cowboy organisation to deliver our new router.”
