“Worst delivery service ever. They lie and say that they tried to deliver when in fact they have not. Why do companies continue to use them???”

“Disappointed with my recent experience with DPD. My parcel (Tracking No: 15503215292428E) was delayed at their sortation facility and then returned to the sender (Transglobe Ltd) without any explanation—despite no issues on my end. Now, the sender is asking me to pay an extra £40 to resend it, which is completely unfair. With Eid approaching, this delay has caused major inconvenience. Transparency and accountability are key in logistics—DPD, can you clarify why this happened and how this can be resolved?"”

“Worthy of a minus * rating . Continuously get a one hour delivery window last minute then a sorry we missed you message with a picture of the front door clearly from the van window and not attempting to deliver. This time it was “craig” then the next day delivery got cancelled which has been detrimental to my business. Absolutely shocking. Im not one to review but they need to sort of whatever issues going on.”

“I’ve had the most frustrating experience with DPD, and honestly, I’m starting to think they’re the new Evri when it comes to poor customer service. The entire process has been an absolute mess. First off, I scheduled a parcel collection, and the driver never showed up. I even got a confirmation email saying they'd pick it up, but no one arrived. When I tried reaching out to customer service, I was stuck waiting on hold for ages. Once I finally got through, they were no help at all – just gave me generic answers and didn’t bother to follow up. To make matters worse, the links they sent in the emails were broken! I tried tracking my parcel or rearranging the collection, but the links simply don’t work, leading to even more frustration. DPD, you really need to step up your game. This kind of poor service is unacceptable, and I’ll definitely be avoiding using your services in the future. You’ve really taken the crown from Evri as the most unreliable delivery company out there. Avoid them if you can!”

“Absolutely awful - a clothing delivery got to the sorting office and then got returned to the company - it didn’t even get delivered. They tried to then deliver a hoover which wasn’t able to be delivered to a pick up point - said it would be delivered on the Monday to my house and it went mia ! Shark had to resend out my hoover to which the company tried to deliver it to the pick up point that it can’t be delivered to - despite shark stating to deliver to my address as the pick up point can’t take it. The clothing parcel that went back to the sender got to the pick up point this time but the driver didn’t scan it to say it’d been delivered so I have no code to collect it ! Literally the worst company I’ve ever dealt with”

“DPD sent me a text saying they would deliver my parcel between 14:00 -15:00. They did not turn up, I phoned their help line several times and was lied to by operator, they say that they can’t track the driver but the local depot will phone me with update, but no one bothered to phone me, I have taken time off work inorder to sign for the parcel, how they think it’s acceptable to mess people about and tell lies, they should have there delivery license taken from them.”

“I am disabled but was at the door witing. I opened the door as the person arrived. But he did not even acknowledge me. Just dumped the parcel at my feet and walked off. I asked for help to just put the box in my door. He turned round, looked at me and then continued to walk off. I now have a delivery outside that I cannot retrieve and anyone can walk by and take it. I only asked for the person to move the parcel by 3 inches. But that seemed too much.”

“Although l didn’t pay for VIP delivery service, my experience was almost identical to ‘Anonymous’ of Roebuck Lane ! Two different drivers on different days Derek and Joseph claimed that the package was undeliverable. One of them posted a photograph of a house that’s not even in the right location and despite being at home to receive the item, no one came to the door, or telephoned or attempted to communicate. I went to the local depot, 5 minutes by car and spoke to an employee who sympathised and spoke to his line manager (at a guess). I was informed that delivery would be on Monday or Tuesday and today l discover that my package is being ‘returned to sender’. Most helpful ! The ability to speak to anyone by phone seems to be a bygone era. Decidedly poor service”

“am extremely disappointed and frankly disgusted by the poor service I received regarding my recent delivery. I paid extra for VIP Saturday delivery because I made sure I would be home all day to receive the package — and yet, your driver failed to deliver it not once, but twice. What’s even more ridiculous is that at no point did the driver attempt to contact me. No phone call, no message — absolutely nothing. Your tracker showed I was approximately 15 minutes away, but that is completely inaccurate — I was literally downstairs waiting. No one came to the door. No one rang the bell. No knock. Nothing. How can a company that claims to provide reliable delivery fail so miserably at something so basic? This was not a missed delivery — this was zero attempt made, plain and simple. The delivery driver did not even come to the door because I was downstairs and he took a picture and left before I could make my way outside. I expect an immediate explanation and compensation for the VIP delivery fee I paid for no reason.This kind of negligence is unacceptable, and if this is the standard DPD operates at, I will make sure to avoid your services moving forward and advise others to do the same.”

“DPD are utterly shambolic. Had a parcel supposed to be delivered today. I was in, and suddenly: "Sorry we missed you". Didn't even bother to come; proof image is just all black. Rang up and complained, and they said they'd try again today. It is now 10pm and "Oscar" is nowhere to be seen...”

“Our next day delivery parcel has been 'held at depot' for the last two days. We're a business and It's only parts needed for a job. Nothing important. They've even delivered another order which they got a day later. Worst courier in the country. Useless. Amazed they are still in business.”

“I paid for VIP delivery on Saturday between 12pm - 6pm and received a time slot of between 12 -1. I got a message at 12:27 to say the driver had tried to deliver my parcel but was unable to which was a shock as I was waiting out side for the delivery. I received an image of the property where my parcel had been attempted to be delivered to which was a complete random persons house and not mine. I called DPD and a manager called me back to advise there had been a error on their end and she would personally contact the driver to get him to come to right address and deliver the parcel to me that same day. Unsurprisingly the parcel never arrived and got returned back to the depot. I contacted DPD this morning to raise a complaint first on their web chat only for the person (shane) to end the chat without sorting anything out which i was not best pleased about. I then called them only for the person who i was speaking to saying the onus was on me to arrange a delivery date again and not actually trying to handle my issue or letting me speak to a manager and kept talking over me when I was trying to talk and then from what i could hear was laughing in the back ground before hanging up. I've then gone back on webchat to trying and get this resolved but they couldn't arrange a call from a manager apparently even though it was them that arranged the manager to call me yesterday. My parcel is apparently due again tomorrow but I have little to no confidence that this will actually arrive. The whole service as been absolutely shambolice and a disgrace and no one seems to care about it or truly wants to help.”

“Right, where to begin with the absolute shambles that is DPD? If you value your time, your sanity, or indeed, receiving your parcels, steer well clear. I've had the distinct displeasure of experiencing their "delivery service" twice in as many weeks, and on both occasions, they've claimed attempted deliveries that simply did not occur. Let's focus on the most recent debacle, shall we? A "delivery" attempted by a driver named Marian. Apparently, the simple act of using a telephone to dial a number - a feat managed by most toddlers - was beyond this individual's capabilities. Instead of a quick call, I received precisely nothing. No parcel, no call, just a phantom "attempted delivery" notification. One can only assume that the complexities of modern telecommunications were simply too much to bear. Frankly, I've encountered garden snails with a greater grasp of basic instructions. DPD, you've demonstrated a truly spectacular level of incompetence. I wouldn't trust your drivers to find their way out of a paper bag, let alone deliver a parcel. Avoid at all costs.”
