Delivered on time but cardboard boxes were in a poor condition, both boxes split down one edge completely. Luckily the contents were intact inside bags. Clearly the boxes had been roughly handled.

Great to receive the package into my hand. Usually my stuff (cheese, meat etc) is just dumped on the doorstep with not even a ring of the bell. This was an excellent delivery. Wow.

What I did not like about DPD that your driver delivered in a wrong house which I sent the photos to senders but you should improve your customer service department. When I spoke with the CS he told me that the driver did not even come to my area but he asked me to contact with my senders, WHY? This should be your responsibility due to your lack of experience driver... No one contacted from your department and your system were saying that parcel was delivered at 9:55 am on 12/4/26

First Class Mail

In this day and age with all the work pressures and the change to online shopping you need great tools and people. Their tracking is the best and without fail their drivers are polite and professional. What I would say though is their workload looks very high. Weird how I have never sent anything using them, dont even know how I would go about it... opportunity?

On Time Deliveries

I have had plenty of deliveries and have always found deliveries to be at the stated time.
Couriers are polite and friendly despite being under constant pressure to complete further deliveries, they always say hello and goodbye.

My last 3 experiences with DPD have all been problematic. Parcel 1: driver claimed there was no one home on attempt to deliver and so took it to a collection point the other side of town, I was home the whole time and there was no attempt to ring the doorbell. Parcel 2: was addressed with no house number and so delivered to a random house on the street who of course had no idea who it belonged to until I went looking (not sure if this is entirely DPDs fault or if the sender is partly to blame for bad labelling). Parcel 3: was supposed to be delivered to a collection point, according to DPDs tracking its been delivered but no notification received, and it isn't actually there, according to the info given to the sender its been delivered somewhere completely different! I certainly won't be choosing DPD when I get any choice of courier.
