Today I expected my shipment of Huel 24x RTD T-shirt Sweatpants Arround 16kg As I needed to leave for work, and opened the tront door. To my suprise I found the box. As I have a “smart” doorbell I know it has not even been pressed. And I was at home at the moment of delivery. The delivery note stated. Delivered trough mailbox. That’s quite a trick. ---

I have never experienced any issues with DPD delivering my powdered Huel, but bizarrely when my RTD was delivered they delivered it to my downstairs neighbour…same driver who knows me…and I was in - he left me a card saying where he had taken it, obviously it was too heavy to carry upstairs. ---

Haha yeah they’ve just about had it with RTD. @Huel aren’t you in the Netherlands or something? Didn’t realise DPD was the courier in other countries too ---

The 2 DPD drivers here whinge about coming down to my house (I’m in a rural area) every single time. I really wish the company would just switch to the regular post. ---

I must be in a minority because I’ve known my DPD driver for years and he’s the most brilliant courier driver I’ve ever met. We get a one hour window and he’s always within a minute of the start of that window, can set your clock by him. ---

I’ve never had problems with DPD delivering my Huel but I had problems with them delivering some sports gear to my work. They didn’t even attempt to get in the building, just took a picture of the front door and drove off, had to rearrange the delivery to a collection point. Other DPD deliveries have made it to work ok so 🤷‍♀️ ---

No problems here. Granted I’ve only had 3 deliveries but all were all within the window with a text and email to let me know it had been delivered and a photo of my package in my ‘secure’ location. ---

Never had issues with DPD, I dread deliveries from Yodel. Seems like it is just down to a postcode lottery as to how the individual driver acts. ---

Always been happy with DPD, by far the best courier out there at the moment… Their App works really well and it’s easy to see when they’ll be delivering items. ---

Most of the time DPD are fine where I live, i get the occasional screw up, the worst being around Christmas when they attempted delivery at a house a **mile** from my house… Nope, not the house next door, but a mile away.🤣 For my Huel deliveries they have been great, always arrived when expected so can’t fault them. ---

DPD always been fine for me, be it when delivering to my door, leaving in a safe space, or leaving at a local drop off point ---

Not just for Huel, but across a range of online purchases I have found DPD to be comfortably and consistency the best courier company in the UK. The delivery slots and tracking of driver is spot on, and i often get a photo if they leave the parcel in a safe place. DHL and Yodel seem to be widely used by I cannot imagine why as they have always been rubbish for me. Royal Mail are generally ok but i find they are often keen to return packages to the post office which means i can’t get them till the weekend due to working, whereas couriers leaving items in a safe place of with neighbors is more convenient. Just my experiences. ---

DPD are brilliant, I’m always pleased when they are used for a delivery. No other courier gives such an accurate and narrow delivery window (always spot on in my experience), and being able to track the driver using the app is great too. ---

DPD are totally rubbish in my area. I’ve already moaned in great deal elsewhere on the forum about this, so to summarise briefly: - no time slot given (drivers here don’t carry tracking devices) - app simply states ‘delivery by 9pm’ - appalling customer service - drivers randomly misdeliver but swear blind they have handed to you personally and they even sign your name for you - parcels frequently take a week long scenic tour of the uk and then get lost in a depot 300 miles from both its original location AND my house - drivers / loaders are really rough with parcels and stuff frequently arrives damaged, squashed, slashed or spilling down the garden path… None of these complaints are specific to Huel - I’ve actually so far luckily received all my Huel parcels, but only because I have honest (or Huel hating?) neighbours who own up to having my parcel even when there’s no card through my door, and the App states ‘handed to addressee/ resident’ [Next page](https://discuss.huel.com/t/dpd-post-here-your-experience-with-dpd/12291.md?page=2)
