Extremely Poor Service Experience

I sent a parcel with DPD on 28th October, but as of 4th November, I still haven’t received it.

When I contacted customer service, I was told the parcel was in the Exeter Depot, even though tracking information showed it was at Middleton Depot. When I questioned this, the advisor said the system was “just showing” the wrong location and that delivery would take place the next day — which did not happen.

After losing a workday waiting, I asked for the parcel to be redirected to my nearest Post Office, which was done. However, since then, it’s been impossible to reach customer support — only automated responses are available, and no one can provide an update.

This entire process has been extremely disappointing. The tracking information is unreliable, and communication is non-existent. This has been the worst courier experience I’ve had, and I won’t be using DPD again.

Brilliant driver

Brilliant driver. Dead on time,in fact a couple of mins early. That's good time keeping,although he couldn't move on until the dead line for my delivery was up to take a photo. Rather strange 🤔

order number: 9515962991

Hello there,

As a faithful Notino customer, I must say I've never had negative experiences about the service.

However, today marks a very disappointing outcome as on of the item I purchased was damaged.

The lid part of the lotion which should have help to extract the lotion was damaged from the inside with wrapping plastic.

To the point I almost cut myself.
The box remains in perfect condition which leads me to believe that the item was damaged from the company.
I've got images to prove it.

Regrettably yours,

DPD has dropped the ball.

DPD is a better delivery company than Evri. However I can say that some workers are Woke DEI hires. What I find ridiculous nowadays is that people are hired based on characteristics than merit based. My last two deliveries, happened to be a gentleman that did not understand a word of English nor could he speak english. Even on the DPD app, you can add delivery instructions to which he ignored and went to the wrong address. I had to leave my home to track down my parcel. It’s pathetic.
