incompetent Driver

I have had repeated problems with the local GLS delivery service in my area. The issue is not GLS as a company, but the local franchise responsible for deliveries.

The driver regularly does not ring the doorbell or attempt to deliver the parcel properly. Instead, he simply leaves the package on the ground at the bottom of the seven steps leading to my front door and drives away. Even very small parcels that would easily fit into my mailbox are left on the floor.

This has happened on numerous occasions, and I have already reported it to GLS head office. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.

Customers deserve a delivery service that takes a few extra seconds to ring the bell, place parcels safely, or use the mailbox when possible. Sadly, that has not been my experience with this local GLS franchise.

Worst delivery service

I was at home and no one rang the bell. Instead the GLS courier just decided to drop the package at a Paketshop far away.
This company is really the worst ever!

Unreliable Delivery Updates and Poor Customer Experience

The delivery time promised to me kept changing, causing me to waste an entire two days waiting for my package.
When a company provides a delivery time to a customer, it should at least make a reasonable effort to keep that promise. However, the estimated delivery schedule kept changing repeatedly. In the morning, it indicated that the package would be delivered shortly. Shortly afterward, it was changed to a delivery window between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. Later, when I checked again, it had been changed once more to delivery after 7:54 PM.
Providing delivery information that changes constantly like this is, from a customer’s perspective, almost meaningless. It creates inconvenience, frustration, and a complete lack of trust in the service.
Having to keep my entire schedule open for two days just to wait for a delivery shows a complete lack of consideration for the customer. This has been one of the worst delivery service experiences I have ever had.

Poor contactability and communication

Poor contactability, package stuck in a GLS depot in Braunsweig for more than a week now while the tracking report on their website still says 'delivery date expected' on a day that already passed 7 days ago. Still no idea when my package will arrive: tomorrow, next week, next year? Will it arrive at all? Hopeless and unprofessional! Probably the worst amongst all courier services although the others are not great.

Packet stored 7 days in parcel centre

Packet stored 7 days in parcel centre. No attempt to deliver. What is the problem. Firms like this must close down.I will now only order online when delivery is by DHL. If the seller won't use DH,then there's no sale. No stars must be an option on Trustpilot, 1 star is 100% wrong.

Very poor service

Very poor service. I paid for home delivery, but my parcel was left at a GLS parcel shop instead of being delivered to my address. No proper delivery attempt was made, and I had to drive 24 minutes (12 minutes each way) just to collect a parcel that I had already paid to have delivered to my home.

This completely defeats the purpose of paying for home delivery. If I wanted to collect my parcel from a pickup shop, I would have chosen that option in the first place. Customers should receive the service they paid for, not be forced to spend extra time and fuel collecting their own parcels.

I will think twice before using GLS again and cannot recommend this service based on my experience. ⭐

Zero customer service.

Awaiting a parcel of items to build our solar panel system, when we ordered we informed the company that the Address was a new road and the house was under construction. The delivery driver/company would have to contact use for more information. We were told this was not an issue and GLS would be in touch....

9 days later and we have heard nothing from GLS their automated system says they attempted delivery twice and we were not home, clearly a lie as they don't know where to go. We spoke to a person on the provided phone number once and they said it was an express service and not under their control, now we just get a automated reply saying our parcel is at a local shop but the system provides no details of where. Contact form via their website has gone unanswered. Unhelpful bad service which seems designed to run you round in circles to avoid responsibility.
