    So I did what you told me, I've sent official email today to the company, but no response.
    I found email of the owner of company, sent him email, no reply either.
    I called them but was instantly rejected, I believe they just blocked me. 
    By charge back, you mean I should do a card dispute ?
    Forget the chargeback. If the company have anything about them. It will be rejected as they have proof of delivery. (does not have to be to your address)
    Which is all a non receipt chargeback need to be rejected.
    Proof of delivery to the wrong address which I have not agreed to is a valid proof of delivery ?

    If you didn't specify that delivery to neighbour was acceptable - then DPD have not delivered and the seller is still liable to either replace or refund.

    I'd start with an e-mail to the seller declaring that a) the neighbour denies having the item and thus b) you require a replacement or a refund.    Mention the Consumer Rights Act 2015.


    @Starekss -  if you're adamant that you won't go round to collect the items, quote s29(2)(a) to the seller:  Consumer Rights Act 2015 (legislation.gov.uk)

    Out of curiosity, after @NBLondon suggested at 5:42pm that you send an email to the seller, how did you manage to:  "So I did what you told me, I've sent official email today to the company, but no response.  I found email of the owner of company, sent him email, no reply either.  I called them but was instantly rejected, I believe they just blocked me... " and post at 5:53pm?

    Or did you mean to say that you had already done all that before NBLondon suggested it?

    I have sent last official email in the morning, I forwarded them statement from DPD that I have not agreed to leave my parcel anywhere and the seller did asked for it. I asked to organize redelivery or for a refund. No response.
    Before writing that I also tried to call, but I was instantly rejected.

    Honestly I think you’re coming across as extremely immature here. This is a problem you are creating. Just go and collect the parcel.

    I’m actually surprised the neighbour hasn’t tried to drop it off or would you refuse it just to make a point?

    There are a few things that wind me up in life and someone making life difficult for everyone, including themselves just to make a (pointless) point is one of them.

    You don't know where I live, you don't know my life situation, and you don't know my neighbours.
    There's a reason why I mentioned parcels went missing in the past with my neighbours.
    I do not feel I have to explain anyone in the internet my life situation.
    I asked for advice about my rights as a customer. That's all.
    I don't understand why so many people are so easy to jump into conclusions without knowing the full story.

    Today I contacted DPD, got confirmation from them in writing, that it is the seller that changed it not me.


    Can you please let us know how you contacted them and got a written response so quicky.. that would be really useful.

    You don't have a contract with DPD. Your contract is with the seller.

    If the seller can't provide proof of delivery to your address then you would presumably (if we have the whole story) win a court case against the seller. If they won't communicate with you then that is your only remaining option.

    As others have suggested it is unlikely a charge back via your bank will be successful if the seller resists it.

    I contacted them via live chat, usually around 10-15 minutes wait, it's quickest method to contact them.
    Calling them will result in longer wait.

    You have had advice on what to do. So thats all covered.
    However this intrigued me.
    "Now I had history with DPD, option to leave parcel on my app is disabled, and I told them multiple times that I do not agree to leave my parcel anywhere else."

    As someone who prefers not to have items left with neighbours. My default neighbour has lost his wife and I dont want him bothered.
    What was your plan if not home? (assuming you werent in this case)

    As far as chargebacks go. YES.
    They are only card regulations, over & above consumer rights. So rules are set by Visa/Master card & are fair to both parties.
