DPD Midlands

I am probably being a bit daft here but, if you don’t want the delivery sent to your house, then … uhhm … why are you addressing the delivery to your house?

Can you not have it sent to your work? (For example)

:woman_shrugging::grimacing:

My DPD rant now. I shipped some things to a DPD pick up on Thursday, as customer needed on Tuesday and it arrived back today. Can’t get any sense out of them and tracking doesn’t explain why it was returned, so no had to waste an hour trying to raise a case.

I have it set via dpd to go to a collection point. It’s DPDs system to have collection points instead of home address.

Ok bud, so why not address it to your work, but redirect it to a nearby collection point? Then even if they ignore your collection point request you won’t end up having a Delivery Disaster? :slight_smile:

Not allowed at work address, 100s of employees in factory. They love when I call in ‘sick’

I work no where near where I live and don’t drive.

Any other questions bud?

I feel like you’re a couple of moments away from inviting me to the back of the bike sheds after school so we can sort this out over a fight :joy:

I dunno how to help you. You seem to have a problem with DPD’s inability to re-route their deliveries from your house to a collection point, you’re apparently not allowed to have them delivered to work, and I’m not sure what your illness record has to do with any of this :woman_shrugging:

Do you have a friend/family member who could receive your deliveries?

Or, make friends with the local corner shop owner and have them sent there?

The answer is always to have friendly neighbours. But you have to be friendly and neighbourly. Not everyone can do that.

I’m well aware of what the problem is, if you read it all you’d see I’ve done very thing I can do on my part to have deliveries to collection point. hence posting here if huel can help.
The shop were the ones that tried to steal a delivery in the first place and I’m uninterested in befriending any others, ew ew ew. I don’t know anyone where I live and plan on keeping it that way.

You seem like quite the charmer :disguised_face:

Knocking on neighbours doors ‘making friends’ but really just wanting them to take on my delivery is slimey.

I agree, you need to have been friendly and neighbourly first, and for awhile. Sounds like you’re too late.

I’ve seen 2 neighbours in 4 years and I think one of those moved.

You pretending you go knock and introduce yourselves lol. Wtf should I when DPD offers a collection point?

Go knock on doors of people you’ve never seen and likely don’t speak same languages then tell them to take your deliveries. Ffs

Yes I did.
The next delivery went the the collection point.
That was the only time it has ever gone there.
The rest nope. I have to call in sick if I don’t time my days off/ on call and the potential delivery date. If I was at home I’d have no complaints.
Buying bags off eBay is more costly, and eventually a competitor will make a version without sucralose and I can kiss getting a 3000 shaker goodbye lol

I think you’ve misunderstood my general point about the benefits of neighbourliness and taken it as specific advice for your current predicament. :wink:

I’m just moving to Scotland. I can’t understand the locals but I’ve already made friends with several neighbours. Shock horror one of them is black

I’m biased in favour of all things Scottish. Bay City Rollers, SAHB, Nazareth, AC/DC.
Middle Of The Road. :hatched_chick:

I’ve actually seen Bay City Rollers. They were quite entertaining. I like Irn Bru and the Dandy/Beano and my favourite new band Ashenspire. Vegan Haggis is good too. My wife’s dad was Scottish and a murder detective in Scotland Yard (not in Scotland).

Vegan Haggis is great . Waitrose sell a good one here down south.

You saw the Rollers? I’m envy.
