DPD UK "Attempted" delivery

I have stayed at home two days in a row to receive a parcel I desperately need for a business event on Monday. I was surprised that the parcel wasn't delivered yesterday (23/10/26), as I was in expecting it, but I thought it'll be fine - I'll wait in today (23/10/26) I was sat at the window and nobody attempted to deliver anything. I am really angry. I've had to reschedule for delivery on Monday but that's no good because I'll be at the business event I needed the parcel for! This has cost me money. I am really unhappy.
Other users in the area have suggested when it is raining heavily, deliveries will not be attempted. Today it's pouring with rain.

DPD UK Disgraceful service.

A collection was arranged to pick up two small packages by a third-party company. DPD provided postal labels and delivery date with somewhat vague collection time were emailed to me. I then received another email giving a two-hour time slot and the name of the driver who was supposed to collect the parcels. He did not arrive. Subsequent to this I attempted...

DPD will not allow me to change the neighbour that they will deliver to if I am not in. They do not answer the phone and the live chat just refers me to their app .

I had been in all afternoon/evening waiting for my parcel only for it say that the driver missed me. They didn't miss me - they didn't attempt to deliver to me. The image of the delivery address they apparently attempted wasn't even my address - a simple Google street view would have shown them that. Idiots! my bet was it was end of day and the driver just couldn't be bothered and wanted to get home.

DPD UK Worst courier company ever

Every time I order something and they use dpd they tell me delivery TIME , then just say they have tried to deliver it and change it to another day this can happen multiple times on one delivery.
I just sit here waiting and and they say they have been but no one has even turned up.

DPD UK Next Day Parcel Delivery

Yesterday I received a DPD notification that my parcel would be delivered between 15:28-16:28. At 16:47, I was told the driver couldn't find our address, despite it being a clearly marked factory unit on a well-signposted trading estate with maps, block numbers, large unit numbers, and an illuminated sign. Today, DPD simply states the driver will not return!

Claimed loss: ÂŁ350 the revenue we will lose by not having the tester tomorrow.

Desired outcome: Full refund of my losses

That’s frustrating, especially when the tester is needed for work and your unit is so clearly marked. Being told the driver won’t return leaves you with very little chance to put things right. I’d contact the sender as well as DPD, explain the business impact, and ask them to urgently check whether redelivery or depot collection is possible.

DPD UK Parcel delivery service

We waited in all morning and were advised that our parcel would be delivered today between 12.51 and 13.51. We tracked our parcel and were advised that ours was number 69 and the guy was delivering number 65 and that it would be delivered in 15 minutes. However, we then received a message stating "sorry, we missed you. Your driver, Shane, won't be back until Monday 19th October with your parcel". We received a photo which describes a house, whereas ours is a bungalow! We can assure you that we were at home. We are both retired. We are very disappointed with the service we received.

Desired outcome: We would appreciate an apology and a response and a to be informed when we might receive our parcel in order that we don't have to wait in unnecessarily again!
