For years DPD have set the benchmark for service that other couriers services are inevitably measured against. Carriers unable to provide later collection slots. SCAM – DPD delivery. You sent an email and told you have missed your delivery slot, so will have to make another appointment and pay £3.99. Waste collection. There are few reasons why a courier may not be present for a scheduled collection: Driver Out of Time — other deliveries have ran over their allotted time period, which means there’s no time left on the day for the driver to collect your parcel.
