My recent deliveries from GLS

A very professional and courteous service.
I am always well informed as to the status of my deliveries. It is very easy to track the deliveries on the GLS App. I enjoy dealing with GLS and would highly recommend them to anyone for all of their delivery requirements.

GLS leaves deliveries outdoors on street despite safe place available

GLS Ireland has left my delivery outdoors on the public street where it could get stolen, rained on, covered in bird droppings, dog urine etc. All despite the fact that I left the front porch door open with a note on it saying the package could be left inside. They have done this twice and ignored my last complaint. I was at home the last time and they did not even ring the door bell so it was outside for some time before I found it. This time I was lucky that someone I know found it outside my house while I was at work.

Update: Reply with tracking details submitted

Gls Cavan I run a business

Gls Cavan I run a business, they kept leaving parcels outside without telling me, both when the shop was open and when we were closed. Neighbouring business were open so they could have left them with them or called me as I was inside the building doing paperwork just not open. Today the parcel has been stolen, our customers are waiting on these items and now they have to be reordered and I have to do the paperwork with the company to get credit for these undelivered items. It was reported before to gls that this was happening but no action was taken against the courier to make him stop doing this.
Edit the parcel wasn't actually delivered despite us getting a notification saying it was. We received it the next day.

Terrible service

Terrible service. Package was never delivered by the driver but marked delivered. Reported it . No response back from the driver after customer service told me he would. Asked for the manager to call me and they never got back to me. Customer support honestly sounded like they deal with complaints all the time but no apology, no sympathy, no training. Next time I see GLS as a delivery option I'll pick someone else or pick a different business. A horrible experience. Would not recommend to anyone.
