“Event - DPD delivery at 13.14 on 12 Dec (all recorded on security cam) No early morning DPD notification of any kind of a pending delivery. No DPD notification that delivery has been completed. It's as if no DPD event has occurred today. It has however, rained heavily all day long. We went out and returned late afternoon, to find a "CARDBOARD" package sitting in front of the garage. It was in the rain, and on the ground which was soaking wet. In the box was a Christmas present for our son. It's going to look awful when we hand it over to him. Do DPD care --- absolutely not. DPD drivers seem to be brainless morons who don't give a damn what happens to customer's goods. Whatever happened to REDELIVERY?? No chance, they're not returning --- it's all our fault for not being at home, even though we weren't told !! And when we are at home, we get 5 seconds to get to the door. Our last delivery a week ago, was like this. Doorbell rang. I rushed downstairs to get to the door, and saw the driver opening the front gate and leaving, and our package was left on the doorstep. I called out to him, and he (begrudgingly) returned. I told him that customers should be given more than 5 seconds to get to the door. He replied -- "we're only allowed to wait 5-10 seconds at the door, then we have to go". WHAT!!! And what if I had rushed downstairs to try to get to the door even quicker, slipped and fell down the stairs?? I rang DPD, and was told that the driver lied .... they're given up to 1 minute to wait at the door for it to be answered. Sounds like DPD drivers do whatever they want. At one time DPD were the best, they are now close to the bottom of my list. What a complete waste of time DPD have become!! What appalling service!! I shall be writing to the retailer to advise them how unprofessional their courier is, as well as posting my comments on review sites.”

“Appalling service, paid for a Sunday delivery for four items, one was delivered on Saturday! Nothing on Sunday, so I chose a new delivery date for Wednesday, the driver then delivered the other three items to my neighbour and didn’t even knock at my door. I hope I never have to use DPD again, they should be ashamed of themselves.”

“It's true. This company are totally useless. Every time I see that DPD are the delivery company, my heart sinks. We get loads of deliveries from other couriers, never a problem. The problem seems to be because our house has a name and not a number DPD drivers can't find it. I think the drivers are that thick they can't read.”

“My parcel was supposed to be delivered on Friday we have a shop the driver went to a house even though the address clearly said shop, they said they would redeliver on Monday its now Tuesday and we still have not received our parcel and to top it off they want us to pay £6 for the privilege to phone them to find out when they are going to deliver our own parcel which they should have delivered already, we have now completely missed our deadline, never again I have instructed all members of our staff not to order anything from any company that uses a delivery service from the dpd”

“They gave me a delivery day , took day off work then they inform me that it will be the day after. So as compensation they will deliver my parcel on a day that suits them but i will get a text on the morning of the delivery how great when i am at work.”

“If you’re attempting to live a stress free live, I strongly recommend never using DPD. The first warning you have of the service you are about to (not) receive is the message when you call their customer service number, it asks you not to be abusive towards their staff. Strange message, why would you ask that unless your service is so appalling bad that this is a common occurrence. I was arranging a collection from a shop in a main street in London, hardly a challenge for DPD but.. The first collection was arranged for a Tuesday, I got the lovely text telling me when they would be arriving, but no one turned up. I contacted DPD (after spending 20 minutes on hold, which I was to discover is about par for the customer service number) they apologised, and the collection was re-arranged for the following Tuesday. The happy day arrived, but once again DPD forgot to turn up. I once again contacted DPD, they apologised profusely and the collection was re-arranged for Thursday afternoon, but now as a “priority one” collection. The happy day arrived, and by now it was no surprise when they didn’t turn up. When I contacted customer service (oxymoron) they advised that they had attempted collection but we weren’t in. The shop was staffed and open for the whole day, so that wasn’t true. During this conversation they’d given up on apologising, didn’t seem to care that they had missed our collection three times and could only suggest I re-arrange the collection again. In summary, there are many companies that are happy to take your money, but reluctant to provide any type of service in return, DPD is an over achiever at this. Good luck and just use someone else.”

“Driver hammered on my door extremely loudly only to find out the parcel wasn’t for me and he wasn’t even at my door when I opened it. I’m a disabled adult so I asked him if DPD could stop knocking at my door as I don’t get things delivered here and it causes me problems only for the driver to turn round and have a go at me. Very rude and unprofessional.”

“Terrible Service I ordered 2 items from 2 different major retailers (who both use DPD) on Monday for next day delivery. I was given a 1hr time slot on Tuesday. The driver (David) didn't show, with no reason. I was then given a 1hr timeslot on Wednesday. The same driver didn't show, with no reason. On Thursday, the items didn't even leave the depot. After a phone call to them, they rearranged another 1hr time slot for Friday. On Friday, Guess what? The same driver didn't show, with no reason. So it is now the weekend and with no explanation I still haven't received parcels I ordered last Monday! My advice to anyone is to think very carefully before using DPD or retailers who use DPD.”

“Absolutely useless. My parcel was delivered to the wrong house on the wrong street in the wrong village. The driver claimed he left it in a porch (my house doesn’t have a porch and neither does the houses on the street where he left it.) My parcel was actually left on the pavement outside a terraced house on a busy street and needless to say it has been stolen.”
