DRIVER CALLED HAPPI
December 24, 2020

Your driver called "HAPPI" is an absolute crap person as my package had 3 fragile stickers on and I let him know that it has fragile contents in, he just took it out of my arms and THROWS, yes, THROWS the whole box in his van, like what the hell? ARE YOU FOR REAL HAPPI? I told him off and he just drove off. He never said "hello" to me (I said hello, he never replied), he never did anything, just basically looked at me and threw my package in the van. No "thank you", no "you're welcome" or anything like that. I understand he doesn't celebrate Christmas and all that but my package is not a toy or something he can just mess with.
I wish there was a 0 stars rating, that's what you deserve, Happi

The DPD brought me a parcel in someone else's name.

Took a photo of me WITHOUT A WARNING and WITHOUT MY CONSENT while I was checking the name and the address.

I refused to accept the parcel on someone else's name.

The courier used this photo as a confirmation of the delivery of the parcel which was NOT RECEIVED.

Is this the new type of service?!

Manager, please, check this case.

I placed an order and paid extra for next day delivery; however DPD seem to have lost my item as it never got delivered.

The item I ordered was medication for my pet and I needed it urgently as my cat's health deteriorates massively without the medication. As the item never arrived, I had to order an emergency supply from my vets and paid more for it!

Then I placed another order for DPD delivery. It was supposed to arrive the next day and I was given an hour slot between 14.04 and 15.04. I took an hour off from work to ensure I'm home when the order arrives; however it never arrived!

I called DPD and by the time someone answered, he said he will put me on hold to check with the driver, but he ended the call instead! I called again and I was told the driver had to skip deliveries and now my parcel will be delivered between 6-7pm!

I tried to reach DPD to resolve this for me and for a refund/compensation for all this mess. Their website showed various ways of contact; live chat, call or what's app chat. I tried to connect with them via the live chat and didn't get anywhere. I sent them a message on Whats'app, they never answered until today! I tired calling them and every time I call, I was told a manager will call me back in 2 hours. After many days of calling and keeping requesting to speak to a manager, the manager called me back after 10 days, when I was told the call will be within 2 hours of my request each time I called! The manager refused to give a refund or compensation for all that happened!

This is extremely terrible and poor customer service. I will never use DPD again and I recommend that others don't use it so they don't get disappointed!

I booked a parcel with drop off but QR code was not generated so it will not be accepted by the drop off point. There is no number for DPD that I can call. I had 2 parcels that were supposed to be picked up on Tuesday, no one showed up or gave me a call; it was re-booked for today (by P2G) - no one showed up again. I cancelled that order through P2G and ordered directly through DPD website. Code was generated for one parcel but not for the second one. Now I have NO OPTION to switch to printing the label at home or to regenerate the QR code. None of the numbers for your customer service is working, I've been trying to get through since yesterday. The online chat is not working. Nothing is working - just the payment system to send money to DPD for the service that I failed to receive 3 times now!
THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.
I PMd you the reference number. Once this issue with the QR code is sorted, I would like to make a formal complaint - please provide me with the details on how I can do this. This is unacceptable and there is no excuse to failing the customer 3 times with the same parcel!

Really bad and lazy service all around
Wouldn't even give them one star would give negatives if possible. Used this company 5 times (as forced to as a delivery option) and 4 of those 4 times was an absolute joke and disaster, not only did I receive lazy service (the parcel not even been attempted to be delivered or collected, instead a generic picture of my street) but i got nothing but a crappy bot repeating the same message when i tried to contact support. I'm not sorry, when three people (and a dog who loves to bark at the post man) all say no one has knocked or called at the house three times in a row, you just aren't even trying to deliver and pick up the parcels at this point. Pathetic. The only time I've ever got something on time was due to me literally getting it re ordered and standing at the window to make sure he came and I saw him coming with it.

Edit: After contacting the company whom is to receive the parcel who organised the dpd collection (dpd customer services WOULDNT answer, shocking!) they organised another collection only for the exact same thing to happen. Me and another member of my family where painting in the hallway without any music just light chit chat, and the hallway is the same room connected to the front door, not once did we see someone come up to the front door never mind knock on it to collect the parcel, this is not an isolated incident. This single driver has done this three times, every time I have ordered from this company, said company will remain nameless as they have good customer service and I was forced to use them instead of dpds terrible non existent customer service.
