“Having tracked our delivery to within 10 minutes of our house we were sat waiting in the front room. Then a message saying sorry we missed you and at that moment the van went flying past our house at speed. What a farce. Will my delivery happen tomorrow, not holding my breath. Abysmal service.”

“Terrible service. Received a picture of my parcel on someone’s door saying that it had been delivered to me. Contacted DPD and they asked me to knock on my neighbours door and ask if they had my item??? Which one when the driver didn’t left a note on my postbox stating if he actually left the parcel with someone else. Asked DPD to ring the driver and ask him where is my parcel and customer service said they can’t… they just send the info for depo and that I can complain to my seller. Completely joke.”

“I ordered a delivery, I was informed it would be delivered on the 29th January,he didn't buzz up to my flat just took a picture of the security door, then I asked for next day redelivery and explained how to use the security door,he missed me again by not coming upstairs, then I was told to do another redelivery,which I did ,now it's the 31st January instead of redelivering to me ,it was sent back to the sender, I am very grateful that the sender was professional and authorised a replacement,it doesn't help that I am on disability and can't just pop to the shop to buy the item.”

“Worst delivery company ever. While I was home the whole day, I receive the notification ‘sorry we missed you’. Meaning that the drive didn’t even actually come to my flat for deliver my parcel. I call the assistance, I explain the situation saying that I payed extra to have the parcel delivered on this specific day. She tells me that I can still have it that day and they will send me the address for collection. Couple on hours later, still no informations. I call again and another operator inform me that the delivery to the posto office is actually been requested for the day after. This is absolutely unprofessional! This company is a joke.”

“Driver pig ignorant put the parcel out the door I said hello he just took a picture , turned and walked away didn’t say a word. DPD should teach these drivers some manners as they obviously haven’t got any Post Code for reference ng24 4pp”

“delivery seems to dpend on the postcode. a single incorrrect digt or number throws the whole systemout, with the driver unable to revert to the hous and street name by default. it also seem to be a temptation in rural sreas to drive past and send a 'we missedyou' 'email, but nno card through the letterbox to show they actually stopped.perhaps it all relies on the IQ of the driver, ALTHOUGH I SUSPECT IT IS IN REALITY THAT THE DRIVERS HAVE ANUNREALISTIC NUMBER OF DROPS GIVEN TOTHEM.PER SHIFT.LEVING NO TIME TO USE THEIR INITIATIVE.HERMES, NOW EVERI, HAVE SHOWN THE OTHERS HOW TO REVITALISE AND IMPROVE THEIR SERVICE.PERHAPS DPD COULD COPY THEM.”

“Parcel hadn't arrived when expected yet was saying delivered on tracker. It was supposedly delivered to a neighbour even though their house was unoccupied at the time. I had watched for the delivery van for an hour so knew no dpd van had been anywhere near. I found on the tracker photo the house it was delivered to and walked for 20 minutes till I found the address. Luckily the lady at the address had realised the address on the parcel was a totally different road to her address. No thanks to DPD I now have my parcel. The driver needs sacking.”

“You pay a lot for delivery, only for the driver to claim you’re not in and now you have to go somewhere and lug a 10kg parcel kilometres back home. I paid for delivery. Not click and collect. Pathetic”

“So many negative reviews but this company is still operating. It keeps ruining people's events, plans, and they cannot provide customer support at all. Just"apologies" but it sounds like irony. Really they should be made be more responsible by companies who use them as their delivery companies. Here are genuine reviews please consider trustpilot " best" reviews.”

“Item delivered to a local shop instead of here and took a day before the notice that it had been delivered (when it hadn't) changed to 'Left at pick up point' and even longer before I could find out where that was. When I did find out, the only pick up option offered was to 'scan the app'. What about people like me who don't have expensive smart phones and can't! When I tried to contact DPD it refused to accept the tracking number (checked by me against the notification 3 times) so I wasn't able to contact anyone either by chat on the computer, or by phone as it just went silent on me and after 5 minutes of silence, it was clear no-one was going to answer. All I wanted to do was ensure my deliveries go to a neighbour if we are not in another time.”

“Samsung.co.uk really need to get a better delivery company than this scrap called DPD UK. The driver called me that he is around today 26/1/24 around 12.30pm. Apparently the network was bad and the call dropped. I tried calling back but the number was not going. I sent a message immediately to the driver that I've been trying to call him back to ask where he is. To my greatest surprise, I got a message 5 mins later that my parcel had been taken back as I am not around and I literally waited all day to receive it. I got a message that the parcel will be returned on Monday when I literally need to deliver it today. I had to pay extra £4.99 to get the parcel delivered tomorrow 27.1.24 as to meet the deadline e I called their customer care line and to my greatest surprise, she was telling me authoritatively that I am not around to get the parcel when she was not there. Such an I'll trained customer desk and drivers Their reviews online shows similar experience from their drivers. Such a scrap filled entity of workers and customer care. If not for Samsung UK using them, I will never in my existence patronise them.”

“1550 0905 145 519 Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Failed DPD Delivery Dear DPD Customer Service, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent delivery service provided by DPD. On Friday 26th January I had a scheduled delivery between 4:20 PM and 5:20 PM, and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. The DPD app consistently indicated that my delivery was imminent, displaying countdowns from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, and so on. As a business owner, I had to open my shop specifically to receive this delivery, leaving my elderly mother, who suffers from dementia, under the care of a neighbour . Moreover, a message from DPD’s head office had instructed the driver to call 30 minutes before delivery, which was not adhered to. As I monitored the app, I eagerly awaited my turn as the 111th delivery, with the 110th being completed. However, at 6:10 PM, to my disbelief, a message popped up stating that the driver had missed me, and the delivery would be rescheduled for Monday. This is not the first time I’ve encountered such issues with DPD, and I can only assume this is a common practice, particularly on Friday afternoons. It is disheartening to think that if a driver wishes to conclude their rounds quickly, they simply mark deliveries as missed, inconveniencing customers like myself. In previous delivery’s by DPD I have even received misleading messages stating that the driver called when I was supposedly not at home. This level of service is both appalling and dishonest. If DPD anticipates difficulties in delivering within the specified time frame, it should update the app accordingly, preventing recipients from wasting valuable time and resources. I am curious to know how frequently such incidents occur for other customers. I expect a prompt and thorough investigation into this matter, as well as a resolution that ensures such instances are prevented in the future. As a loyal DPD customer, I hope for an explanation and reassurance that steps will be taken to improve the reliability of your delivery services. Sincerely, shay P 07973 129 529 S2 4LN”
