Daily Parcel Disappointment …

While I’m happy with the service that drones direct provided in despatching my drone. I can’t review said product as DPD are possibly the most useless parcel carrier in the world. They have tried to deliver twice at the same time, during two consecutive working days. Customer service is useless and won’t allow feedback to change the schedule of a delivery. It’s a shame. Maybe when I get my product I’ll come back and amend this . For now PLEASE FIND A BETTER CARRIER (I Suggest Royal Mail)

DJI MINI PRO 4

Prompt despatch but I did not like dealing with DPD who fix a date and time and no ability to leave parcel with neighbour. Also no documentation of any sort from company in the parcel. What about guarantee ? Do I need to register ?
Could do better on those points
