“DPD is the WORST company I have encountered throughout my entire life. NEVER USE THEIR SERVICES! I had 4 luggages sent out from the UK to Spain. To my surprise, one of them never arrived on the first place. After reclaiming for over 2months, dealing with 4 phone calls, talking to managers and 3 people on their live chat system, they simply said, the courier search was UNSUCCESSFUL. In other words, they lost my belonging worth over £2000, and the best thing out of it, it took them nearly 3 months to tell me this!!! I'm prosecuting the company to the full extend of the law and make sure legal actions are taking in place. If anyone else has had any experiences like this, I am sure there is, it could become a class action suit against the company. To me, what's clear is that they stolen my belongings, which already proves malpractice and lack of service from the company. They have violated my consumer's rights by providing lame excuses, and getting out of the period's provided to get my answer from the courier. Not until, I provided pressure in the company, they suddenly found out it was UNSUCCESSFUL the search. It is inadmissible and unacceptable, the way they treated me as a customer and they way they handled the situation as a company. I will make sure my experience reaches out to all media outlets because DPD needs to suffer the consequences of providing this service.”

“One of the WORST companies i have dealt with this year!!! I can ONLY assume my 4 15kg of pet food was DUMPED outside the garage door because i complained about their RUBBISH automated so called CHAT when you are NOT chatting you are typing to a dam computer that said it was well trained but it had NO idea what i wanted! Well i had to drive many miles to pick up the same day as my old mother could NOT open the garage door or MOVE the 4 heavy boxes!!!!!!”

“Very unprofessional company full of promises that are never kept. Very bad drivers too. One crashed into my parked car and when I phoned dpd all I was given was a number 47660515. No apology or recompense. So discourteous.”

“Absolutely pathetic useless delivery service. 3 different drivers on 3 different days managed to mess up the "delivery" then lie about it afterwards. They take pictures nowhere near your door and just drive off. No phone call to say they are outside and cant deliver despite the fact they have my phone number as they text me on it to give me a time slot. I rang this fraud company twice now (costs money) and gave them a very specific set of instructions to gain access to a complex of high rise flats and they assured me the driver would be supplied this info. The intercom system for the main gate is manned 24 hours a day. I watched one driver not even press the button and take a picture behind the gate and then the following day he gets in but parks up in the car park and just takes a photo of my flat block from his van then drives off. The third drivers picture is 100 yards up the road. If you contact their website they give you an option for a possible redelivery but will be left on your doorstep or with the nearest shop like wtf? Anyway eventually on the 4th attempt it arrived faulty so i had to waste more money ringing them. its a new phone i entered into a new contract with the phone company. They are saying its not their fault but DPDs (i agree) but DPD are claiming the item was faulty when recieved. The whole thing is a nightmare”

“AWFUL! If I could give them no stars I would. Leave parcels on the doorstep and drive off. They don't bother checking anyone picked it up or anything! Least secure way to deliver parcels to anyone!”

“Paid £10 extra to get it delivered yesterday between 5-10pm, got text and email to say it would be delivered between 5.27 and 6.27 by Peter, no apology no further information last night and it did not arrive, why? . You must stop telling business's you can deliver on time when you clearly cant and customers like me are getting charged for a service not provided”

“Yet again driver lies about attempting a delivery, when no attempt was made. I'm sat by the front door. He detent come here. The company places the drivers under such insane pressure they have to miss deliveries.”

“Parcel is late - None of the tracking numbers supplied in the various email are recognised on their systems. Experiences like this remind you to always check who the courier is at the point of sale, that you can request someone else. Anyone else..”

“I had a cut-up orange waiting for Lateef; thinking he was going to be as professional and kind as Takunda. I told him I had no feelings in my arm - he left me struggling with 25 kilograms - he did not ware a face mask. Most unpleasant. I could not catch-up with him to give him the orange. Please send Takunda in future !”

“A parcel was sent to us with one digit wrong on the postcode, But otherwise a full address. Our village is the only one of that name in the country! Did DPD deliver it or send the parcel back to Germany? Could not even get close to a customer service member and their automated response was pathetic. One star too many!!!”

“The parcel was slit open very carefully, then left outside the house. Going by the delivery time, position on photo etc it could only have been the driver/assistant.”

“They simply don't want to deñiver the package so they invent that nobody was at home. They don't call you don't send you SMS saying that they are coming and they have a non working phone number where if you say that there is a problem with delivery file a complaint online. This is for Czech Republic DPD”

“DPD are now on the same level as Hermes and Yodel. Their service use to be next to none and totally on form. Paid extra to have a replacement phone from 02. Was told it would be here on 23rd Oct in the morning which changed to 6:11pm and 7:11pm, never arrived then received a message stating unable to deliver and parcel had been returned to depot, although we sat outside waiting for them. Following day called 02 was told it would be delivered on Sunday 25th, nothing again. Called 02 and was told Monday as DPD do not deliver on Sunday. Monday 26th came and no phone again. At this point blood is boiling. New delivery 27th before 10:30am, and messaged received stating 8:30am - 10:30am. 10:40am messaged received being delivered to another address......back to 02 again no it's coming to your requested address. Reminded them it was due before 10:30 it is now almost 11 and nothing has arrived, only to be told that they cannot guarantee a time slot. it is now 15:38 and although I have seen the DPD van drive by twice the phone still have not arrived. DPD DO BETTER...YOUR DRIVERS ARE BRINGING YOU DOWN!!”

“Pitiful excuse for a delivery company. A)parcel containing £1.6k of computer equipment was delivered to a completely different postcode,signed by a man with a different surname. B)Called DPD after seeing their “your parcel was Successfully delivered “message.They contacted the driver to retrieve the parcel which he was luckily able to do.I expected him to deliver it, but was told he had to take it back to the depot,”Because it had been scanned as delivered “. C)Requested the parcel to be delivered next day(Saturday).Waited until midday and called customer services,was then told “We Cant deliver it as it’s a next day delivery which is only Mon-Fr.Then told it would be delivered on the Monday. D)Monday midday and no parcel.Ring customer services and was told they would speak to the depot(Portsmouth)and call back.When customer services called back I was told the delivery would be in the next hour.Another call 1/2 hour later and was told “Sorry that was for a different customer and I can’t tell you when you will receive your parcel”. E)Start smoking again. F)Still waiting you incompetent 1/2 wits.”
