“Rubbish, I got a message saying the driver has tried but I wasn't in... I am 1 meter away from a glass door. I would have to be both deaf and blind not to be able to catch this driver. What a sub-par company. never using them.”

“Spent all day Saturday waiting for my parcel. Didnt arrive sent me email saying it will be delivered tomorow. Fair enough. Spend all Sunday sitting in. Driver Ben pulls up outside my house. Does not knock on the door or even walk anywhere near the house. And then drives off. I then get an email saying sorry we missed you we will deliver it tomorow. What a joke. He was literaly at my house and did nothing. Why did he even bother driving up the hill? Am i expected to run outside and meet him? Am i expected to spend all day staring out the window waiting for a dpd van and run out into the road and stop it and ask if its for me? Presumably so. Well time for a 3rd wated day. Wish I could rate 0.”

“Don't waste your money upgrading to the VIP service. They didn't deliver at the weekend as promised, sent the parcel back to the sender and won't refund me the £5”

“Doesn't even deserve 1 star. Twice now I have sat in and waited for my parcel, and twice I get a message to say the driver was unsuccessful. No one knocked on my door. The photo he took is of a telegraph pole! No way to get in touch with this company. Managed to have an online chat with customer services, who told me to ring the seller of my goods to take out a complaint. The driver DAVE is a grade A numpty who couldn't follow a footpath if it was painted yellow! Absolute f#ckin bunch of idiots! But more importantly where the f#ck is my parcel?”

“Ich habe heute mehrere Packete erwartet, und ich habe gerade gesehen, wie ein weißer Lieferwagen vor mein Haus gefahren ist, angehalten hat und weggefahren ist, ohne an der Tür zu klingeln oder dass der Fahrer ausgestiegen ist. Dann ändert sich der Status der Zustellung auf ihrer Website von "Zustellung heute" zu "Leider liegen uns unzureichende Angaben deiner Adresse vor. Bitte verfüge dein Paket um". Alle anderen Firmen schaffen es, das Haus zu finden. Es ist ein Studentenwohnheim, welches man auch auf google maps auch klar sieht. Es sind schwere Packete, die ich nicht selber abholen kann, also bitte ich dass sie die Packete nochmals herschicken und dass der Fahrer wenigstens ein mal zu der Haustür kommt und klingelt!”

“The DPD driver, Amar, who was meant to deliver my parcel, decided it was too much bother and rather than ring the buzzer, he just took a photo of the driveway gates from his van and drove off. The parcel was urgent and important. DPD and their drivers are totally untrustworthy.”

“Over 600 pounds worth of guitar amplifiers, one item damaged by DPD and the other they LOST. HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO LOSE A 35KG PARCEL EQUIPPED WITH A 15 INCH BASS SPEAKER. All within 1 week. Never again”

“DPd drivers not even making an effort to make deliveries - instead receiving text that parcel not delivered because I was not home which was incorrect. I was at home and no DPD driver rang the buzzer. How can the company get away with sub service. Dpd claims ‘As per our New Project "Can't Wait"- Our driver will try and deliver your parcel to the provided home address, if you are not available to collect it them, our driver will straight away deliver your parcel to a close by DPD Store.‘. And if you make a complain - this is a reply ‘Any formal complaint that has to be raised will have to be through your seller as you have paid them for the product and services. And as per the contract we have with them, they can surely raise it with us on your behalf.’ All other delivery firms are able to deliver. This service is below par and their new project ‘can’t wait’ goes against providing customer care and service.‘. They take no accountability for their lack of service. How can they get away with such appalling service.”

“I was waiting home for the parcel to arrive. Received a message that they missed me (nobody rang at my door, and I even have surveillance cameras). Now I have to go pick it up at their store. What a joke.”

“Every single time an order comes from DPD, we hear the postbox lid as the driver posts the 'we missed you' card but never ever knocks. I am almost certain the drivers do this to not have additional packages. DPD could double their shipments if packages were actually delivered.”

“Worst job ever. As delivery driver joining them I paid £1400 and then after I had a horrible experience and I left within a month after being asked to pay a Ridiculous amount of for stretches on the van and now after 6 months they sent me a letter to say I owe them money. I got nothing back when I left. Know I am left with a debt to pay off the bank and a letter to court that I owe them money. Don’t work for DPD, it not wealth it.”

“I always thought DPD were meant to be one of the more reputable delivery companies. Last week my new phone was due to arrive via DPD. I was in for the expected delivery time. The flat buzzer did not ring once and I received an email saying I had been missed. Looking at the photo of the parcel, I went out into the communal hall and bumped into the DPD driver who was going down the stairs. I asked him if he had a parcel for me (provided my details) and he said no. I went upstairs to my neighbours flat and my parcel was sat outside the door! Yesterday I had a parcel due for delivery by DPD. Yet again I was in during the delivery time and got another email stating that I had been missed, despite the buzzer not ringing once (the buzzer is in perfect working order). I received an email stating that my parcel has been taken to a DPD depot 5 miles away from my home! This is supposedly part of a co2 emissions cutting program. I do not have a car so So I will have to get someone to drive me to get the parcel yet dpd delivery vans are in my area every day? I contacted dpd and they said they would let the manager know, but they would not reschedule my parcel. Shocking service”

“Had a new phone delivered… I appreciate through Covid no physical contact…. But with a brand-new phone I do not expect a delivery driver to throw the item down onto a concrete floor especially when the item is not packed stuffed as well as it should be…. They were told it what is the phone and then he threw it down to take a picture. They will be the 1st to complain if it was their item that was thrown. Not acceptable from delivery drivers they need to have a little bit of care when delivering their items.”

“Worst services ever, customer care doesn't have the manners to talk to people. I was told that the parcel shall be delivered in a particular time slot. As soon as the time came, I got a Message-Driver unable to locate, though I could see him zipping past my road. Don't know they use GPS to track or not. I call customer care and they say to avoid DRAMA. Do your people have any sense? Crappiest services ever. I guess you can get people lessons in hospitality before employing them.”

“The worst. Once my parcel was left right at the entrance of the building, the other time it was written that I’ve received a parcel, however I have not. Left two inquiries, no reply whatsoever”

“On 28th September 2021 , I dropped of a 10kg cardboard box at a DPD pick up point. It was addressed to a man in Hurghada, Egypt. I had Put his address inside an "Documents Enclosed" adhesive transparent envelope and this was placed on the package. I also did the same with the Parcel Hero label with the tracking number etc. As I was concerned about the package, which cost me a little over £100 to send and the value of the contents being over £250, I managed to track the item down to Norsk Global, 2 Willow road, Slough, which had the package in transit. I still hadn't heard anything, but eventually found out that the package had been delivered to Hurghada Airport. You would have thought that with the details I put on the item, it would be easily identified, but no. From 10th October to 25th November, my friend has been unable to get anywhere with the authorities at Hurghada. It's either been stolen or tucked away somewhere at the Airport. I've written to Gary Bartoletti at Norsk Global asking him if he has any contacts at the airport and I supplied my friends phone number in order that a contact at the Airport could contact my friend. Bartelotti hasn't even had the decency to answer my query. I find this kind of service quite deplorable and I cannot think why anyone would want to use your firm for transporting freight. Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody has been in touch with me. I have rang before and get passed from one company to the next, getting absolutely nowhere. Meanwhile I'm £350 out to pocket.”
