i'm hoping they do re-attempt the pickup on friday, as the email suggests. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.

It's actually http://www.directparceldistribution.com and not .co.uk


On a general note, please remember that some problems are down to DHL and not the agent. DHL's systems die on a fairly regular basis so the drivers don't get the collection manifest. For some people your collection area will be done by a complete t****r or an agency driver who doesn't know the route :rolleyes: My regular DHL driver is damn good (and the stand in ones are OK too) so I almost never get a failed collection.

It actually is https://www.dpd.co.uk, I don't use https://www.directparceldelivery.com

I think they use DHL but not sure. I have asked Interparcel once about it but can't remember what they said

They are quite expensive when it comes to UK deliveries, so wouldn't recommend them. I think Fedex, DHL or even Parcel Force are much cheaper.

Perils of using couriers from domestic addresses. Because you got a card it will just go down as sender not available oppose to a collection fail and that bad news is that will probably mean £6.95 down the drain, I'm afraid.

so does this mean there won't be a repeat collection tomorrow, as the really crappy email I received seems to imply, or does that have to be approved by their 'sales' dept?
