Sorry didnt know where to put this 
Had a card through the door today, DPD, sorry we missed you, left in a safe place, but no address, date, just says "left with mr lewis at the back of you".
Ive gone down the street at the back of me knocking doors and theres no mr lewis, tried the street oppposite at the front too, and you cannot get through to a person on DPD telephone lines without an 8 digit card number which is apparently in the top left corner of the card, but there isnt one?
Really dont know what to do? Im not expecting anything but i do enter competitions and i know sometimes things just arrive without a WEM OR phonecall.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is there an 8 digit number at the bottom of the card in the middle? Thats the calling card number and that is what they will ask for (or a consignment number) I think they have changed the card design but not the instructions.2 angels in heaven :A0

Is DPD's phone number a premium number?
Could it be a scam to phone a premium number?
And what makes you think you have won something?
I dont neccesserily think ive won something but as Im not expecting anything ive ordered for example its a bit of wishful thinking
DPD is 0845 i think but i got that number from the website not the card so...0 -

I did try putting that in (dropping the first then last number as it was 9 digits not 10) and that didnt work, said number not recognised. Im stumped! Havent been able to try any other numbers today as been in work all day, trying to find a different number now that doesnt ask for this 8 digit number0 -
ring your nearest DPD depot, they should be able to advise. or they can speak to the driver who normally covers your area.0

thanks0
