    Another endorsement for DPD from me - they beat all the other delivery services into a cocked hat.

    Even better is that it counts down in parcel numbers in the last 30ish minutes. So I've quite often seen it switch to the parcel before mine and can be downstairs and at the front door by the time he gets to me which saves him time and means I don't have to rush when he rings the door bell!

    The use of DPD at a reasonable cost is a huge factor in me deciding who to spend my money with online.

    Not enough retailers offer the choice IMO with most it's Yodel like it or lump it!

    One thing DPD miss out on is they dont do consumer collections

    DPD are amazing. Best couriers out, cannot fault them.

    Oddly though, they seem to only employ drivers who have names beginning with "d". My usual drivers are David, Danny and Donny. Have had a Demi and a Dale before too. How very strange.

    Another fan of Dpd here :) my parcels from zoo plus always get delivered by sohan, although one day it was the same name but a different person :/
    No complaints though, I don't drive and he's the one who lugs my cat food/litter and other pet bits up 2 flights of stairs for me :D
    :hello: Hiya, I'm single mom, avid moneysaver and freecycler, sometimes :huh: but definatly :D
