“I have had enough with this company. We live above a row of shops and yes we may be a little tricky to find but every other delivery company seems to find us just fine with no issues. DPD however don't even try to attempt to deliver to our flat. They are lazy and useless and EVERY SINGLE TIME I've had a DPD delivery they have given it to the shops below us. The shops have very kindly taken our parcels in but they are getting as annoyed as I am about the laziness of the staff. I have tendinitis in my wrist so carrying heavy items is a no no, yet I still have to carry it up to my flat in pain! I have complained about this before but nothing has been done. I dread every time I see that DPD are the ones delivering. If I could choose not to have them, I would opt out every time. Useless.”

“DPD is the only pacel delivery company who does not want to reach to the customer. No phone call, no attempt to leave the package in the garden in a safe place. They are dumb and rather they return the package to the seller. What a terrible service!”

“What an awful state of affairs !!! DPD failed to deliver again today. Gave a 1 hour time window for delivery - message saying driver was delayed but would be with us shortly - then message saying he missed us, with a picture of just a grass roadside verge. I WAS ACTUALLY OUTSIDE WAITING FOR THE DELIVERY FOR OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF.”

“Absolutely useless. We are in a large complex with a reception office. Driver apparently arrived, made no attempt to contact us (We had provided a contact number to Dyson - it was a collection arrangement to pick up a faulty machine); and he simply drove off again. Cannot get through to anyone at DpD - recorded messages only. Total waste of my time - waited in especially. Not even worth the one star I have had to give in order to leave this review!”

“the parcel has been sent out twice and been in the Morley depot for 2 days each time and on both occasions it has been sent back to the sender - no reason given either time. Never had problems with other delivery companies or DPD before. No reason given for non-delivery. No option to collect. After this experience I will not order online if the item is going to be delivered by DPD. I do not want to give 1*”

“Did is the worst company in the world, the drivers are clueless, they can not be bothered to read the delivery address on the parcels and then when they decide to read the delivery address they don’t bother leaving the van because they are so tired to walk and ring the bell then they decide to deliver it to a pick up shop on the other side of town.their mobile App is a Joke you can not re arrange a delivery because they made the choice for you. Dispointed by their service.”

“I ordered a hamper to be delivered to my father today Father’s Day and it has been delivered to a property in a different county. AWFUL service. Reading should be a prerequisite for a job in delivery.”

“You say that you care about environment. Why then you burn fuel twice delivering the same parcel. When your courier can simply make a call ten minutes before he is in the place. In my home country Lithuania DPD does that. That saves your time and fuel , my time as well , and environment you say you care about. I would give a zero if there would be such option”

“A new idea. Having paid the Amazon supplier for delivery DPD advised that it was not enough and if I want delivery I would have to pay more. A nice scam I haven’t come across before.”

“Not an option to put minus stars!!! 2 days ago was waiting at home on delivery all day then got email in the evening saying they had tried to delivery but I was not home!! changed the delivery address to a shop so this time I was thinking they would have to do the delivery, got email early afternoon my parcel had been delivered, I called the shop and they said they had not received any delivery and had been in contact with DPD and they would deliver next day. I called DPD who assured me it had been delivered, complete LIE!!!! This morning get an email that they were unable to delivery to my chosen delivery address so they delivered it completely the other end of town to some random shop!!!! I called the shop owner and he had been told that the original shop where I had requested to deliver had been closed for the last week...MORE LIES!!! Called DPD again, worst customer service and experience I have ever received from any delivery company. COMPLETE DISGRACE!!!!! Needless to say I will never order again from any company that uses DPD as a delivery service!!!”

“I had the worst experience today... I had the worst experience today... I don’t know how you can treat your customers this way.. driver called me that he is outside with my parcel the moment I walked out he was gone.. I tried calling him but nothing. I arrange to re-delivery 3pm same day. Had to take off day from work so I make sure this time driver won’t run away after 1min of waiting. I called couple of times to DPD customer service TO MAKE SURE He is still coming since I’m waiting all day and it was already after 3. Lady on the phone said he is on his way.. almost 2 hours of me waiting I called back again and I was informed that driver finished his job and won’t be coming.. thanks for letting me know. So disrespectful I have no words. They have no regards for their customers.. I am so disappointed with the staff and the way I was treated.. my whole day is ruined”

“One star because no stars does not seem to be an option. Was told my delivery and collection would be between 11.59 and 12.59 today, so I waited in all day. At 14.24 I received an email saying 'we've missed you' and, bizarrely, a picture of a hedge. It is virtually impossible to actually get in touch with DPD or talk to a real person, so now I am hoping that tomorrow the delivery will actually happen. or perhaps I will just get a picture of another hedge.”

“My negative experience would be longer than War and Peace. I would avoid at all costs. Lies upon lies sadly even from the Escalations team (Alison). My parcel was ‘skipped’ promised delivery next day (lies from managers of Middleton branch Luke and Jack). One employee told me it’s easier to get hold of the pope than Middleton. Parcel ended up at a shop miles away that I can’t get to. They wouldn’t redeliver. Gift to a very supportive friend for her birthday missed. Now have the nightmare of getting the parcel back to the company so I can get a refund. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD THEY SAY, BEING A GOOD LIAR IS AN EMPLOYMENT NECESSITY. STICK TO UPS OR DHL IF YOU CAN.”
