@McRud:

And another great work from DPD….
Delivery of my shirts and jeans was announced for today and I was waiting at home for it. Driver didn't appear to the announced time but then I received a mail saying "delivered successfully to the agreed place". Hell no, agreed place is my home and I'm here without any parcel...
Gave a call to the hotline and the only answer I got before the lovely computer voice I had to talk to cancelled the line was "your parcel was delivered. It should already be in your house. If it isnt there please check your letter box and there will be a message from the driver". Tried another call...out of business time...
There is no message, I'm at home...where the hell is my parcel?
First world problem, but things like this are annoying.

I can't work out who you are from your forum name, so can't get DPD to look into what happened.  Please PM me your order number or real name.  Thanks, Giles

Thanks Giles. We just found it.
I did talk to the DPD hotline earlier today and the women told me, that they did deliver it at saturday to another address 10 houses away from mine. They told me that somebody (whoever this might be) did ask them to do so. I guess it was the easiest lie the women could find.
However, I went to this house and it was there. The driver did just throw it in front of their door without ringing the bell or leaving any message.
Luckily you always use two of the blue bags. The first one was completely damaged and had big holes.
At least there seem to be no damage to the goods.

Please can you PM me the tracking number…..

Thinking of moving from UPS to DHL.  @Danny RnH did recently and says that it is a million times better.

Any views?

I have had 3 orders come from Danny recently using DHL and they have all arrived when they should of, so can give good reviews. I still like DPD's system of where you get a actually time slot. DHL just says by the end of the day

I have not had any bad experiences with UPS so far, can't say the same about DHL.

On the other hand we get DHL deliveries on a weekly basis and I would say 95% are without problems, if you ignore the "you where not home when we tried to deliver your parcel" thing that they all pull off from time to time.

Same with me, the time slot does it. I can plan my day then.

DHL is still in driving distance, for when you need fishing gear in a hurry.

The only delivery company I had no issues with is UPS (and I tried them all) so they definitely have my vote. Are you talking about DHL or DHL Express? The latter is superb the first is meh. (They are two separate divisions).

DHL

[sabergirl]

They have more reach now, but even as of five years ago, DHL was lacking in locations and reputation in the USA. I never see their trucks around here, and I think they share an office with UPS. But, I do live in a small town.

Can't say that I'm satisfied with UPS. Wouldn't mind the switch.

[steelworker]

I haven't had any problems with UPS in the States.

[Broark]

UPS works great stateside, not much experience with DHL personally.

[Chris]

UPS is great for me; the guy is usually here 3-4 days a week.  DHL has been some sort of issue every time I've been unable to avoid them.

[Dion]

Maybe a poll could be helpful?

[Giles]

It won't.  We're going to DHL and make a decision going forward based on empirical feedback.

[Seul]

Fuck it - let science figure it out, right!.

[Jordonf9]

UPS normally gets here 2-3 business days once shipped
DHL seems to take 1-2 business days once shipped (ordered yesterday, shipped today, be here tomorrow, that is FAST!)

[Winchy]

That would be quick! Keep us posted please.
