Does any one know if DPD deliver after 6pm. Has anyone had parcels delivered by DPD after 6pm.

I am expecting a parcel today just received time slot and it says time slot is 5.57pm to 6.57pm.

I have never had a parcel delivered by DPD after 6pm before. I thought they stop delivering at 6pm.

Last time I got a delivery slot this late parcel never arrived. I'm really worried that I'm not going to get parcel today. 

Parcel needs to arrive today as it's perishable items, me and my son have gluten and dairy allergies along with other allergies, and this parcel contains special foods for us.

If it doesn't arrive today the whole lot will have to go in bin as will go off. Icepacks will only last so long.

Do you think I have a chance of recieving parcel today or not. Not sure if I should contact DPD to explain or not.

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks in advance

    I've had DPD deliver Amazon items as late as 9pm I think, so yes it is possible.

    Don't bother contacting DPD, contact the retailer you ordered from, it is their responsibility to get the goods to you in the correct condition.

    Yes, had one the other day giving me an hour time window up to 18:24
  • Thanks everyone for your replies, they did deliver parcel in end and early. Sadly parcel was smashed with things falling out and every thing inside destroyed ☹️.

    So they might as well have not delivered. 

    Tried to refuse parcel but they refused to take it back as was leaking yoghurt and other stuff every where. They just left it dumped on door step. 

    Will have to contact company I ordered from. Rather anoying.

    Sounds like the supplier didn’t package it adequately.
