“Like other uses. I have waited in to be advised they attempted delivery and missed us. I was outside the front and no DPD van drove past let alone came. Today waited in for a mobile phone, to be told they couldn’t find the address. Again, outside no DPD van drove past. Now I have to cancel my phone otherwise it would leave me without a phone for a few weeks due to a trip. Why are they lying?”

“Worse delivery service about. Drivers lie, say they attempt to deliver parcel, yet CCTV shows they haven't. This has happened on many occasions. Cardiff depo lies, when I contact them they say the driver is on way back yet never do, you pay alot of money for a service you don't get, even customer service is also a waste of space. I don't recommend this company service to anyone.”

“Booked a pick-up and received confirmation. Driver didn’t arrive. Re-booked and received another confirmation. Driver didn’t arrive. ‘Chatted’ to on-line ‘help’ - they are clueless. And don’t bother trying to phone them - life’s too short. To cut out the stress - use a different courier. AVOID THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE INCAPABLE. ‘Minus five stars’ - is too good for them”

“Me enjoying the DPDs "on time", "undamaged", "not lost during the process", "perfectly updated and communicated" delivery of chair parcel.”

“Failed to collect an important large parcel. I was on the doorstep but had to check that the parcel (very expensive) equipment was going to the right place. I'm phoning my boss to check as my boss answers the DPD courier guys say' You are wasting my time' then walks away! He was at my dorstep for less than 2 minutes before leaving without the parcel which was in my house. He posted that the parcel was not redy for collection and drove off.”

“I was supposed to receive a parcel today between 11:21 and 12:21. The driver showed up at 11:27. The delivery was an exchange. We were about to do the swap, when the driver suddenly told me that he could not deliver my parcel, because he was supposed to proceed to his "number 11" delivery, while I was "number 27". The driver claimed he had to do the deliveries in the right order. On my phone, the app said that he was currently at delivery number 24 (and not 11, as he claimed). I insisted and asked him if he was really sure he could not deliver to parcel (and take mine in exchange), and he confirmed that he could not. The driver then told me that he would be back in half an hour. Yet the app said that the driver was on a tight schedule and would not be coming back today. Here attached is a picture of the driver with his package and me with my exchange item, just before he refused to deliver the parcel. I have contacted DPD and they said that the driver indeed was not supposed to come back. If I did not have the picture, the driver could easily claim that he came and no one was there. Why he did that remains a mystery to me and is extermely frustrating as I stayed home today and cancelled other appointments just for this delivery.”

“I always rated DPD as one of the better couriers but a recent 'attempted' delivery has changed my mind. Delivery due 16.8.22 and I received their usual email with a 1 hr time slot. I then received an email with a photo of someone's house, not mine, saying they had attempted delivery and would try again the following day. I used the DPD chat line to advise that I'd been notified of an 'attempted' delivery but they really couldn't care less that the driver had lied - just advised it would be delivered the following day. Judging from a lot of the other reviews you can probably guess the final outcome...Email received the following day with 1 hr time slot; stupid pink flamingo showing on DPD's tracking map as a handful of stops away...then a message stating driver running late...then a message stating driver had attempted delivery. My message to driver Ilian (Iliyan) working from the Maidstone depot - you lied... you didn't attempt delivery on either day. Thanks a bunch DPD/Ilian, my parcel has now been returned to sender after '2 failed delivery attempts' which never happened!”

“My parcel was originally supposed to be delivered on Wednesday 10/08/22, I didn't receive it as it was sent to the wrong address, I called they apologized and was meant to be then sent on Thursday and they sent email to confirm this, I yet still didn't receive it and I called again and they sincerely apologized once again & was confirmed for my parcel to be delivered on Friday, and again on Friday I still didn't receive anything and they said sorry on Monday, I still didn’t receive anything on Monday, at this point they make me crazy and make my blood pressure very high. I spoke to them again on the same day and I said to them, you cannot keep lying and they sent a email and confirmed through the phone as well that if they fail to send it by DPD on 16/08/22 we going to use City sprint and yet again nothing happened. Now it is Wednesday and I called and they said someone will call me back from Southall depot but they did nothing”

“Horrendous service, 2 nights in row I have stood outside my place of work, watched the van drive past, then got the message they missed me, stood for over an hour the second time so I would not miss them, gave my phone number in case they couldn't find address, I am beyond livid”

“Driver dumped my parcel at the door and disappeared before I walked five steps to open the door. The parcel was marked ‘heavy’ and I would have liked him to lift it over the doorstep for me. If I had it been in, it would have been soaked by the rain. I tried to leave a review of the delivery on my DPD app, but they are obviously not interested, as I was not given the option to do that. The notification said ‘delivered to LOLO’ what’s that supposed to mean? Valentin was HIS name.”

“They failed to turn up for a collection. When we chased up with DPD they told us they would get back to us. had to chase it up ourselves and got put on hold for 25 minutes only to be transferred over to Liverpool customer services who refused to help as it wasn't their district and put us back on hold. We were then transferred back to Liverpool twice before they just hung up on us.”

“Outrageous! Don't use them. I've changed my delivery address to a pick up point using their app, paid for my parcel to be delivered next day and got a message to say sorry we've missed you. Then contacted customer service quite early in the day and all they had to say was that they understand and they sense that I'm upset but can't do anything about it and they don't have a refund service either so have to wait until tomorrow. What a pathetic company and service! They should not be allowed to operate and be held accountable!”

“The Driver, Osman sent an alert that my parcel had been successfully delivered to my address in Swindon. I was stood outside waiting for them when they sent an alert with a corner of a door. Nobody turned up and nobody delivered to my address. Shocking behaviour. I'm still pursuing a redelivery but I might have to fork out another £150 to replace the lost school uniforms that Osman has gifted to someone else who might not even care. DPD is rubbish. Unfortunately I can't score them the big fat ZERO that they deserve.”

“I received a message (from DPD and Amazon) that the driver had attempted to deliver my item but I was not in. This was a blatant lie. I was looking out of the window at the time they claim and there was no sign of any vehicles. Attached is the photographic "proof" that they provided of the attempted delivery. Avoid like the plague! If I'd known that Amazon were going to use DPD I would never have made the order.”
