“Been home all afternoon waiting for my delivery slot between 16.28 to 17.28 only to find out that after my slot had expired that they had lied about missing me! So I can now collect my parcel tomorrow from a supermarket! I am disabled! A delivery attempt had not been made! Whenever I order anything again on line, I will make sure it is not this company.”

“My PS5 was 'delivered' and 'signed' by myself according to the driver at 13:40 which is exactly when I entered my house. But I don't remember that happening? Maybe I was drunk?? Horrible service.”

“Here's my copy of a complaint I have been attempting to send - but even the form you have to send it on fails!! "Item sent from Repaircare following a telephone call reporting a damaged item which had just been delivered. First I knew of it being delivered was a card through the door from DPD while we were at work 2/3/23, on checking the system, it said they would deliver the next day 3/3/23. Took a day off work, sat there all day and was notified late on that it would now be Monday 6/2/23. Booked ANOTHER day off work, sat in and a parcel was delivered for my son but not the item I have been waiting 4 days for. On checking your system again, it says it has been sent back 'to where I wanted it sending back', the original sender. I DID NOT REQUEST FOR IT TO BE SENT BACK, WHY WOULD I WHEN I HAVE TAKEN 2 DAYS OFF WORK TO WAIT FOR IT? After negotiating your non-existent customer 'help' (either automated systems which cut you off or chat which is absolutely no use either, I have requested a callback from the Depot in Middleton to explain why they have sent my item back and not attempted to deliver it to me. This could take 72 hours apparently. Plus the fact I am a District Nurse, so cannot always answer phone calls if I am in the middle of a visit to patients (which I am all day 8.30 - 5). Then I found your onlineform 'How can we help you?'. I have completed this probably over 100 times now and get the same message every time 'Form failed to send'. It should be titled 'How can we not help you' as you get nowhere with it to the point of wanting to give up. Then you lose all the narrative and have to start again, unless you've cut and pasted it. You describe your company online 'the delivery experts' - that should be banned under the Trade Descriptions Act, your service is an absolute atrocity. Unhelpful website, unhelpful couriers, unhelpful service. I thought Hermes and Royal Mail were bad, but DPD is an absolute disgrace".”

“I seldom write reviews but it will be disservice to the public not to write this one. I have never encountered a disorganized courier like DPD, they have no regard for peoples time and are not honest. I do not recommend any company to ever use them for courier any more I have decided not to ever order anything from any company that has contracts with DPD. I bought few musical item from PMT and I was told that it will be delivered on Friday, in the meantime I received a notice that my parcel will arrive on Thursday, then I called the music store and they confirmed that they had spoken to DPD that the item will be delivered on Friday To my greatest dismay, I received another notification from DPD that they have attempted to deliver my parcel and since no one was available they had taken it another hub location and I should make arrangements to go and collect it. The guy at the PMT was shocked and surprised because he said that the pdp office confirmed to them that the delivery will be on Friday not Thursday. More frustrating experience on the second shipment which I will on next review. This company should be folded up immediately. Because of their negligence I am canceling my order and returning it back to the seller and will never have any dealing with pmt again until they disassociated themselves using pdp as their courier”

“My parcel cleared customs & then stopped updating on my tracking app. It just shows as having never left the UK & is marked as needing more instruction. Customer service keeps redirecting me to the sender, when DPD successfully recieved the parcel, they just never delivered it. I'm just beside myself right now, this was a milestone gift I paid the extra fees to recieve on time. I will never patronize another business that uses DPD. According to all these reviews, they're absolute thieves & unmotivated to do anything to accommodate the mounting grievances against them.”

“Delivery was well on time. The driver was very threatening when I said I couldn't leave the door open for him to take a picture of the delivery as i have a small puppy who could run off so he refused to delliver. I dropped the parel on my porch floor to here a loud bang from my door where he had slammed my keys into my plastics damaging my porch plastics, I confronted him and he told me to watch my mouth. This is not acceptable from the Birmingham branch.”

“AWFUL SERVICE. We should collect all these complaints and sue them! 2 people were at home when I received a message that nobody was at home - what???! At least a driver should try to knock on the door!!! And they will not do a second attempt to deliver. Support said 'Sorry, you can come to our collection point for your parcel for the next 7 days which I cannot do as I'm leaving for 2 weeks.”

“Dreadful. One job, that is to deliver packages. They do not do brain surgery, cook superb food, build houses, they deliver, or do they? I would say not. I intend to ensure I never order anything whereby the company use dpd for delivery. I ordered a box of cakes for a specific day. Ordered in plenty of time. You will not be surprised to learn that the cakes did not arrive, instead I may get stale cake delivered tomorrow. I am not hopeful as the last time I checked the parcel was in Birmingham and the delivery address is at least 4 hours from there. After 7am tomorrow morning the cakes will be of no use as I will not see the person they are for until Monday. MMmmm, state cake. To be fair to dpd they are not the only ones who do not care, Cutter and Squidge, the cake company are equally disinterested. Do not use, go elsewhere, there has to be better.”

“I waited in all morning for a parcel to be collected. My doorbell rang (once), it took me about 30 seconds to get to the door and there was no one there. No attempt to call me to find out if I was in. Went back upstairs and looked out the window to see a DPD van driving off down the street. Immediately tried to contact them but of course there no phone number on their website, nor any other means of contacting them, apart from the tracking number they provided, which gave me an error message when I tried to use it. Absolutely rubbish service and a complete waste of my time. It’s almost like they don’t actually want to do business with you.”

“I had a delivery scheduled with this company so someone from my household took the time off of work to wait in. Nobody knocked on our door. We then received an email to say that they had been unable to deliver the package as nobody was in and rescheduling the delivery. Again someone waited in and yet again nobody knocked at the allotted time. We again received the same email. We thought this strange as we had waited in and yet no one had knocked so searched for a customer number so we could check if they had the correct address. We found the phone number 09015 450900 which said it was for customer services. When I phoned this number it was just a recorded message telling me to rebook online. I then discovered that I had been charged £6 for this number and charged for 2x SMS texts that I did not ask for. I was not warned of this when I phoned up. When I finally found another number I was told that the reason the delivery had not been made was because the road was closed. I sent an email to the complaints department but no one bothered to reply. It feels unacceptable that a company will scam people with a premium number that is just a recorded message to say to go on the website to rebook. I will not be using this company again and will advise others who ask to do the same.”

“Received a message from DPD saying our parcel would be delivered by Ben 15:33 to 16:33 today.Waited in from 14:30 but no delivery then suddenly I receive a text saying as we were not in would now have to be collected from our nearest collection point.Called DPD local depot who said they would contact the driver who either could not find our address which is right on a main road or is telling porkies about we were not in.Yet to check the CCTV to see if he came to the door.All this despite the early text telling me about the delivery and where we could have it left if we were not in,which was over the side gates,which clearly he could not read on both counts address and requirements.Poor customer service.I will not be collecting from the collection as my order with store clearly states my address as the delivery point.I see this as the something the supplier and DPD to sort out as I will just be asking for a refund if I do not recieve the goods. Still waiting for the local depot to reply.”

“Time slot of 12.04-1.04 Finally turned up at 17.25 😒. What's the point of even giving a time. The app told me from about 1.30 that tom the driver was on drop 18 and I was 19. Might as well use royal mail at half the price, far more dependable . They might only give a 3 hour slot, but at least they keep to it 😉”

“Purchased a telecommunications item Saturday and was told it would be delivered the following Monday, OK. Sunday we went out and returned to find a card stating that DPD could not deliver as we were not in, Wrong Day! Rescheduled for Monday twix 4 to 5pm, fine we were in all day working in the garden. We get an update stating that there is a delay but it WILL be delivered twix 4 & 6pm, Fine! 17.55 we get a text stating as we were not in they could not deliver the parcel. NO Card left this time and we were in all day! The driver, Nelio is a liar! as I can prove what I say to the satisfaction of a court of law. Nelio! do not lie! you will get caught out. DPD 0.5 out of 10.”

“Appalling Service from DPD - after I received an 1hour delivery slot for today, I waited for my parcel to be delivered. Instead, and after I buzzed in the driver, 2 mins later I got a notification that they missed me! On top of that, they are not even trying to redeliver my parcel, but they are going to hand it over to a random place where I am supposed to go and pick it up tomorrow. I complained over the phone, but of course "they are really sorry, but they can't do anything". I am disgusted by DPD and their service, from now on I won't buy anything from companies that use DPD as their courier. I can't understand how companies like this continue to exist and also make a profit.”

“They simply don't deliver. I have stopped purchasing from 4 different companies that use DPD, and will always check going forward if a company uses this courier service, and not purchase from them if they do. I continue to purchase from Amazon, because Amazon have a note on my account saying 'do not despatch anything with DPD'. They don't deliver, they do lie.”
