“Horrendous! I paid extra for a next day delivery, the part was needed urgently. I telephoned DPD a short while after placing the order to make sure a collection would be made, I was assured it would be collected that afternoon. I waited in all afternoon, 17:10 I tried to get in touch with the local depot, that was not possible. I waited on the telephone line for 50 minutes for customer service until I got through. The collection was not on the system although I was assured it was. The money had been taken. On the day of the missed collection of my parcel, I was told I would not be charged. I was told today that I will not be refunded. It cost us 40 x times the cost of the delivery in lost business. DO NOT USE THIS SHAMBOLIC COMPANY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I was told DPD would deliver my parcel yesterday between 11-12am. I took day off to sit in to wait for it and at 11:30am got a txt saying delivery man couldn’t deliver because no one was home. I have a recording camera at my front door and at no time did anybody knock on my door. I phoned up DPD Customer service ((£7.24 in phone calls to them) to be asked if I had a red door? I told them no my door is blue. The driver went to a red door and took a photo of it and said I wasn’t home. Said he had left a card at this random house (must of had the same address and postcode has mine????) and was told the delivery would be made again that day. It never showed up and I’m now going to get it delivered to collect store. So having paid £7.99 postage on my delivery and £7.24 phone calls it’s cost me £15.23 to go and pick up a parcel my self from town because a DPD delivery man couldn’t find my address. I will never order from the company I bought my parcel from ( I’ll leave them a review and explain why I will not be ordering from them again) and I will never order anything that DPD will be supposing to deliver because they can’t find my address. 1* because it doesn’t give option of minus stars.”

“Courier extremely rude. Company unreliable. Have stopped ordering from Amazon because they are guaranteed no to deliver. My son’s iPhone went astray. Last 4 orders from Amazon not received. Thankfully Amazon refund, but that’s not the pont. Appalling is the only polite way to describe these cowboys!!! We even contacted the managing director who promise to put things right. Big fail on that too.”

“Delivery of our food parcel was due between 12.29 and 13.29. It hadn’t arrived by 4pm so I waited 35 minutes to get through to the helpline . They offered no explanation for why the delivery had not arrived. He said he would contact the local depot who would ring me as their number is not available to customers. At 6.30 I hadn’t heard anything so I sat again in a queue and then the Van arrived at 6.50. The driver had been in our estate at lunchtime but had been called away to deliver to Sainsbury’s for a 12 midday deadline . 6.50 was the next opportunity he had had to catch up with the missed lunchtime deliveries. I have no problem with our driver he has delivered here a few times but he had not received a call from the helpline asking to contact us with an explanation as to why he hadn’t delivered on time and he was following orders from above when he diverted on to other deliveries ahead of ours. Because this box contained fresh meat I think it was wholly inappropriate to divert the driver before our delivery was made. This event consumed our afternoon by having to stay in and sit on the phone. Seriously annoying .”

“I couldn't leave anything less that one star, this is one too many. I have had a terrible experience with this company. I have been repeatedly mis-informed and the actual drivers can even work out simple instruction. The customer service center take the onslaught of complaints when they basically cannot do anything about the rubbish delivery service they have to try and support. If you are wanting a professional courier company to assist your business with deliveries then I strongly advise you to use anyone but this completely useless excuse for a company.”

“Paid for next day delivery on an item and didn't receive it untill 9 days later , everyone that I spoke to at DPD call centre was useless the driver who was supposed to deliver the item decided to drive past the delivery address and take a picture of someone else's property and claim no one was in , won't ever be using them again what an absolute joke”

“I have had approx 12 deliveries in the last 6 months from DPD. Every delivery has been excellent, the company keep you well informed and you are provided an hour delivery slot. The App is great, allows you to provide specific delivery instructions. Every driver I have met has been friendly and happy to help. DPD have also, on my last delivery, provided me a Saturday delivery, without extra charge, which was required due to a delay with the supplier. The customer service, when I have called them, go out of their way to help and be helpful. Best delivery service I have ever had.”

“Ordered some stuff from a company I have used for some years, and as usual requested delivery to my home address. I subsequently received a message from DPD informing me that my parcel would be available to be picked up from a branch of Currys PC World some distance from my home as per my instructions. I had given no such instructions. I contacted the sender who confirmed that they had sent it to my home address and indeed that only I could stipulate that delivery should be to anywhere else. They contacted DPD who promised that the parcel would be sent to my home address the next day. It wasn't. I contacted DPD. Before I was connected, I was treated to a recorded message from their boss woman asking me not to be abusive to their staff. I soon found out why she thought this necessary, as the person I spoke to was totally useless. He said that there was nothing he could do, and implied that, as there was nothing wrong with their system, it must have been my fault! The sender of my parcel contacted DPD again and was again told that the parcel would be recovered from Currys and delivered to my home address. Again, this has not happened and on the DPD app, my parcel is still being shown as awaiting collection from Currys. This company is an absolute disgrace and should be put out of business entirely. In future, whenever I order anything online, I shall tell the vendor that the order is conditional on their not using DOD. I would urge others to do the same.”

“If you could leave a -10 rating I would! Always ALWAYS have problems getting my deliveries from this appalling company. If they can’t find your address easily they just deliver your parcel wherever they feel like it. Disgusting service, atrocious customer service......numerous parcels lost and one investigation under way. Avoid these cowboys at all costs is my advice.”

“Consistently poor service. Allocating a one hour time slot on the day of delivery is not viable for most customers! When requested to leave parcel with neighbour in a gated complex with intercom, DPD did not even attempt to ring any neighbours or leave a card. Used the excuse that premises were closed. Poor customer service helpdesk, who essentially listen to complaint but are unuable to assist or make changes”

“What a shambles of a company, failed 3 times to pick up a parcel when clear instruction's given and notes on the door, then given local pick up point did this after going out of my way to leave parcel at pick up point, then sent emails to say failed pick up as tried to pick up parcel at my house, even after email saying parcel is at pick up point, then to rub salt in my face, sent me a step by step guide of how to send a parcel back, what a joke of a company.”

“Worst service ever. Expect problems when dealing with this unreliable delivery disaster. The drivers create false reasons for not delivering in order to avoid having to go to certain areas. Despite many calls to their customer service to try and resolve any problems, my parcel still hasn’t arrived and they do not seem to care at all. I am definitely going to avoid purchasing from any company that uses DPD as I will never get the goods. Bad, bad, bad!”

“Our usual DPD delivery guy Dan is fab. Today's (5.16pm on 12.3.19) was the most rudiest non-engaging person that I have ever met? I wouldn't employ him to walk my dog let alone represent the company by wearing a logo embosed jacket or drive their van.”

“For the second day in a row I received a notification that I wasn't at home even though I was, both today and yesterday. They also said they left a calling card - they didn't. Liars! And I've wasted another day. I called customer service to complain and ask about my parcel and they hang up on me. I will do all I can to avoid using DPD in the future because they simply don't respect their customers and their time.”

“I chose to collect a parcel from a local pickup store. DPD never sent me a QR code for collection. Nevertheless, I went to collect the parcel on the same day it had arrived at the local pickup only to find out that it wasn't there. After trying to reach DPD and their awful customer service and after several emails to the seller we managed to get CCTV footage showing the parcel being stolen by someone who apparently had a QR code for collection and never showed his ID! Neither DPD or the seller assumed responsibility and this issue had to be escalated to PayPal and we even spoke to the police. I lost my parcel, money and most importantly my time! I hope this issue is solved however it's been 3 months since it happened. My advice is to avoid this company.”

“Normally can’t fault them as all the delivery drivers have been good in all aspects however with today’s delivery I can now understand why people say they are rubbish. Despite the tracking showing as nearby my parcel never arrived to my address - it showed as having been delivered and signed for by GTF - which I took to stand for ‘go to fuck’. On hold to customer services for 30mins only for them to say oh the delivery guy would call me back in 10/15 mins but did not relay back to them where my parcel was. The delivery guy eventually turns up in the 10mins with my parcel and claims that his tracking system was at fault And it was the same for all customers. I did not believe his excuse considering his demeanour and also the fact that he was much later than the time slot. Customer services not so good either as what happens if parcel is missing and my personal details etc - oh the delivery guy will call you.”

“Absolutely disgusted with this company, especially their policy of making false promises to customers. You make plans based on these false promises, the delivery doesn’t happen and then you waste more time trying to make arrangements for later. Moronic customer service doesn’t help matters.”
