Signs for parcels under my name when I’m not even there

The DPD driver Lavish signs for my parcels delivered to my work under my name even when I’m not there! So if the parcel was for me and was delivered incorrectly, it shows that I was the one who signed for it. And if customers deliveres have an issue they will come to me to complain because I’m apparently the one who signed for it.

Goodbye DPD. Hello DHL

I booked a collection and waited in all day, but they never turned up. They say they did but no one rang the bell or called my mobile. I called DPD to rearrange but they said I had to use the live chat feature to do so. I tried 4 times on the chat but every time, after I explained the initial non-collection, the chat feature stopped responding and they ended the chat. Won’t trust DPD again. WHY do they not have a number you can call to rearrange? The Chat function isn’t fit for purpose. Guys, remember phones? They’re good for talking on.
Goodbye DPD. Hello DHL, far better service.

Awaiting for a few important parcels

Awaiting for a few important parcels. Have been staying at home all day to find out that I am going to have a late afternoon slot (email came around 11am). Having slot between 4.20pm and 5.20pm. At 9pm an update on DPD page “Sorry, we missed you”!! That is unacceptable and utterly ridiculous. Employing incompetent drivers who cannot deliver and at some point deciding to go home, like it was with my parcel. Farhan decided that he’s too tired so he goes home, it won’t be a big deal if he doesn’t complete his daily run. He’s just going to blame a recipient by saying that no one was at home!! Disgraceful behaviour!

Just ring the doorbell guys!

Why doesn't any of the DPD drivers ever ring the doorbell to let us know that they are delivering a parcel? They all just leave it by our communal street door in full sight of the road. Could do better guys!

DPD Useless

I left a note on my door asking the driver to leave my parcel in the porch as I was upstairs on an important telephone call during the window they had given for delivery. I then received an email saying 'Sorry We Missed You" but we've left your parcel at your local Pickup Shop This shop is 1.5 miles from my house when there is a local Pickup Shop around the corner from my house which is 0.2 miles away. Why didn't he leave it there? I honestly don't believe he even attempted to deliver the parcel and just went straight to the Pickup Shop! Didn't ring the bell. No wonder DPD don't have a complaints procedure customers can use. DPD are absolutely RUBBISH. My advice - Don't use DPD

Consistently Unreliable

I've had several bad experiences with DPD now. This particular instance was related to a time sensitive order, with confusing tracking information.
At the time of writing this review, I have no idea where my package is and when it might be returned to the consignor in order for a replacement to be sent.
I will think twice before using any online services using DPD for delivery.
