“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”

“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!”

“Hopeless courier. On a hot day, cars in the drive windows open, driver could not be bothered to look round back if house to get a signature.”

“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.”

“I have decided not to purchase anymore from the stores who use DPD. They do not attempt to deliver the package. It is just left in the Pickup shop. Now, the shop is closed and i can not pick up the package”

“The worse couriers in the world! Do not choose them, newer and smaller companies are far better than them. They were meant to come and collect me parcel on Wednesday, I had waited the whole day, their deliver lied and tried to say that there was nothing to collect- pure lie, I have CCTV recording that no one attended my address, I was told issue would be escalated and someone would come to collect it the same day. Nothing happened. The next day exactly the same thing happened and the driver lied again, and when the depot tried to contact him his mobile was off apparently. I was told someone will come by the end of the day- I waited till 8pm! No one came once again. When I called them on Friday they said they can’t come now the job needs to be rebooked- so why couldn’t they tell me this before? Instead of wasting my 72hours!! Horrible service- I would never use their service again and would never recommend. Their staff are lairs, they do not know their job roles, and let customers down. Do not use them if you don’t want to get disappointed.”

“Ordered frozen food which should have arrived the next day. Waited in but driver didn't show up. Received an email 'sorry we missed you' - they didn't even attempt delivery! Rescheduled for following day. When DPD eventually showed up the following day, I refused to accept the package. The frozen food had by then been in transit for over 2 days and would have been inedible. Useless service!!!!!”

“This awful company claimed that their driver showed up at my residence for delivery. This is a lie as I sat by my window which is directly opposite a very narrow and quiet road and cannot miss any bike, car or van that goes by. No one rang the doorbell at any point during the delivery window and when I complained, they advised that I should check the app where the driver took a photo of my door and uploaded it. Who cares if he took a photo? Given the amount of things to be delivered, this driver wouldn't have walked down that road as that'd be the only time I would have missed him. Now they're asking that I pick up my parcel as a pick up address even though I worked from home so I can receive my package today. Awful company and I'll never support a business that delivers with DPD as they're unreliable.”

“I awaited a parcel to be delivered by DPD, I have the DPD app and saw they were going to deliver between 2009hrs and 2109 hours. The tracking info let me know when the driver Hussein would approximately arrive, it then said he is in my area and will be about 4 minutes. After a while I thought that was a long 4 minutes! When I checked the app there was a message saying I could not produce proof of age!!!! I had not seen or heard from the driver! It was a downright lie!! I can understand if there was trouble locating me but please do not lie to a customer!!! The next day (today) I spoke to DPD, they told me the parcel was on route back to the sender! And they had not even tried the second delivery attempt!! They would not give me any information and more or less kept me in the dark. They said they would escalate but it would be an in house investigation and I would not know the outcome!!! Surprise surprise!! I contacted the sender who got onto them straight away hopefully tomorrow I’ll receive the returned parcel L, I won’t hold my breath. Previous to this I had another parcel from them but it did not turn up! It said the parcel was delivered to myself, the photo clearly showed a woman’s hand with blue nail varnish. Luckily I located my parcel further down the road when a lady came out and asked if I was expecting a parcel. Terrible customer service no support at all. Clamp up and cover up appears to be the order of the day. DPD a clowns outfit in my view.”
