“Appalling service - delivered to the wrong address apparently 'signed for ' and 40 minutes to get through on the phone. Their usual practice is to not bother knocking/leaving a note - i try not to use this firm whenever possible. Always awful and rude on the phone”

“These guys are consistently terrible but are used by O2 and Curry's as they must be cheap as!!! Screw the customer, lets use DPD and make the whole insurance thing 100 times more annoying for the claimant.”

“They didn’t bother delivering or leaving a card, I waited in and nothing just an email stating they’d tried delivery, so I’m waiting in for attempt number 2 this morning, phoned them up to help the driver with directions etc but just pressing buttons and robots on the other end so no humans to speak with.......AVOID AVOID AVOID”

“Yet another poor service from this company. Failed to deliver Friday, took a picture of my house but failed to find the front door after I had stayed in waiting for them. I rang customer service (or lack of it) only to get an automated service which eventually transferred to the local dept who never picked up the phone. No answer at all over the weekend. Again failed to deliver today, and took a picture of a random fence where they had left a calling card! rang, and rang and rang and finally got through to the local depot who said they would re-deliver within 20 minutes - no show. Rang again - told that someone would ring at 5:00 with a revised time - no call back. Rang yet again and told that the driver would deliver sometime this evening 'on his way home'. Completely clueless company, customer service clearly is not a consideration. 4 hours wasted time. I only use UPS, when sending items, I wish companies would not use DPD when sending me items.”

“I ordered a delivery from HelloFresh, and got a text this morning saying that the parcel had been delivered and left in front porch. Looked all over for it, but no joy. Now have emailed three different departments of DPD, but no response. Hoping that relative gets hers so she can ask her driver what might have happened. Very unimpressed so far-seems I'm not the only one. I hope someone gets back to me.”

“Very similar experience. They messaged me informing me of the delivery slot. I was checking on their app the progress of the driver called Jason. 4 hour then 3 hours then 53 minutes on each checks. Last check was 14 minutes and Jason was one street from me i came out. Suddenly to receive a message saying Delivery attempted nobody was in to sign the parcel! I was standing outside with my neighbour! Tried to call them through the app but it was like trying to drawn a fish. After 45 waiting I gave up, Amazon made me even madder by confirming they lie! And offered a refund for something that was a present, I wasted a day waiting for and travelling tonight. Absolute disgrace ! I have now deleted their app”

“Ordered a next day delivery from Amazon and didn't receive the parcel. The driver even took a photograph of where he called and reported nobody was in and took the parcel away. It was somebody else's house, he didn't even check the address! I called them and their automated system told me the parcel had been delivered and signed for by somebody called CAL. After 15 minutes on hold I gave up. If I don't get it tomorrow, I'm cancelling the order.”

“Received a text saying my replacement phone would be delivered between 13:49 and 14:49 so I stayed in all day. At 14:50 I saw the dpd van driving away. A note had been left saying they had tried to deliver with no answer. I was in. No knocking. And also I don’t think 30 seconds is a reasonable amount of time to wait for someone if he did knock as he said he did. Customer service don’t care. Poor service. Would never choose them myself but have no choice as it’s through insurance.”

“I am expecting a high value order from Dyson. I opted for the 5-8pm slot today. The confirmation email defaulted that time to 5-10pm so I cancelled an evening appointment to make sure I was in. My parcel has not arrived, I’ve had NO communication from DPD to explain why the delivery hasn’t been made. Having just logged on to their website it is now saying tomorrow between 6am and 10pm??!! Sorry, you expect ME to wait in for 16 hours tomorrow when YOU have failed delivery today and didn’t even have the courtesy to let me know? I think not. At least have the decency to offer me a time window to fit around my commitments tomorrow given that I have already had to cancel arrangements today when you didn’t turn up. Disgraceful service.”

“I received a text SMS at 7:04 telling me "Your order will be delivered 27 Jun by DPD." No sign yet and when I finally got through to a human (after Googling for a phone number as their website doesn't have a number) I was told that it would not be delivered today and no date could be provided. A day wasted spent waiting for a parcel that will not be delivered. How can I rate them as 0/5 ?”

“The most terrible experience on Earth! Ordered some things for my holiday from Women’s Secret (Spain) and DPD was the delivering company. Although I’ve placed an order 2 weeks before my holiday which allowed plenty of time to receive it - the parcel has never arrived! They’ve tried to deliver it but the email they’ve sent me stated that the parcel was refused (what?!). So then I decided to collect it from the depot in Enfield (2 days before flying) thinking that this will be the most secure way. And when I arrived there...they said to not even hope to receive it on that day. Why? Because they can’t find it. Sorry, what? So I’ve explained that I need it urgently and despite of the members of stuff being polite and friendly - nothing has been done further to this matter. At the depot I’ve been told that the parcel got lost or stolen (apparently, as I’ve been told, high value fashion items are normal to get stolen!). Then I had to do very quick shopping on my lunch break so that I’ll have everything for the holiday. After that had to deal with them via emails while being on holiday and been promised that they’ll sort everything out. But after few emails they just stopped replying! Whatsoever! Tried to reach out to them for a week but nothing! Just no reply! So had to call. On the phone I’ve been told that they can’t help me. Great, thanks. And when I called for the second time they said to contact the seller. For the first time after almost a month! Sorted it out with the seller afterwards but this experience with DPD left me totally frustrated and upset. They never apologised and never took any actions about the whole thing. If you can go for another delivery company - go for it. Cause this can happen to you as well.”

“Day off work to await delivery. DPD claim , completely and utterly falsley that no one was available to sign for goods. I have full CCTV footage to prove no attempt was even made to deliver . These people treat customers with contempt and lie about their shoddy service.”

“The only courier firm who consistently fail to deliver our parcels and are not capable of following the delivery instructions of able to call us. Always saying they left a calling card which is a lie as we are in and there's no card ever”

“Waited all day long for my parcel with no updates sent to me and then when called the next day I was told they could not find my parcel and that's why it was not delivered. What a delivery company is this when they tell you in your face, that they could not find your parcel.”

“My parcel was due to be delivered on the Monday gone and when I called up they informed me my parcel was 'refused this could not have been the case as no parcel was even received to be turned away.The communication between the courier and mobiles direct is terrible!!!!.becuase of their lack of communication and partnership, they cannot provide me with an accurate date to when the parcel will be delivered. In addition to this inconvenience when I spoke with your team they informed me they would 'resend' my parcel and arrive by Friday which is today. To my surprise the phone has still not been delivered and I took a day off work to make sure I would be home. I have now been informed that my parcel will be estimated to arrive on the Tuesday. I am absolutely disgusted with this level of service. Your company are not even sure it will arrive on Tuesday yet my contract started a week ago so in that sense I am paying for a phone that I currently do not have as well as my current contract. This is absolutely embarrassing, what an inconvenience this company and dpd have caused me and to top that I can't get the day off work on Tuesday, therefore what will happen to my package then?”

“First the courier didn't showed up in the day and time he should.nobody even call me to let me know there will not be a courier to pick up my parcel..so no refund or anything. You can't contact them to speak to the person it direct you to machine witch disconnects you after short informations and on the end you charged £6 for nothing. Very incompetent customer service to solve a problem. Nobody is even calling me after I send it the email to complain..constantly they are sending me emails they sorry but accualy nothing is done.there should be a phone call from one person who will take care of the problem from beginning to the end.it was my first door to door booking from DPD and the last one.”
