The delivery was made but I didn't know about it until I happened to walk up to the gate. If the GLS driver doesn't want to open the gate (simple push button) and drive down perhaps he/she can call me... See more

Terrible service

Terrible service. The courier lied for two days in a row, claiming no one was home, so he didn't deliver, even though I was home and waiting. But it's not that important; all companies always leave packages at the front door near the mailboxes; there's no need to waste time waiting. Behind every mistake and problem there is a specific person, there is a first and last name! YZZERL4M ( 21600171446 )

And again I’m here to write another bad review. This company is horrible. I’ve had a package with them and for 2 days now it has said out for delivery and I’ve waited around for nothing to come. Rang them today to be told that the post person finished his shift early yesterday and did not deliver but said it was out again today. It’s not 7pm and it’s still not here.

Absolutely dreadful service

Absolutely dreadful service. Parcel has been sitting in delivery centre for four days. "Customer service" representative on phone completely not interested in the fact that they are unable to do their ONE JOB of delivering parcels. "You're not the only one that uses our service" well you don't seem to be providing a service at all.

EDIT: Another day, still no sign of my parcel

EDIT: now Saturday. Parcel still held by GLS since Monday. No updates
