DPD useless bastards

[MrFrisp]

I find Amazon the worst, every time I order from them they don’t use the eircode and deliver to a house with the same street address. In fairness the wan who lives there has dropped stuff over to us when it happens but avoid Amazon as much as I can because of it!

Hint.. Stop buying from amazon

I did, I hate the fuckers anyway so it was an easy decision…….if it’s something I have to get on it like a niece’s birthday present then I get it sent to my parents place

I have had a situation with DPD a number of times where they haven't delivered at the time/day they said they would, and then when I check it online it says that they couldn't make contact in order to deliver.

When I contacted DPD to say that they didn't try to make contact and that I was at home to take delivery then they told me that it was their issue and it would be delivered the next day (which it was).

But they are getting paid twice to deliver something and only actually attempting delivery once, which annoys me no end.

I doubt Corks finest is ordering dog food, unless Tinder is going very well?!

I didn’t get into it really or what types of digs they were. I just wanted to make sure he didn’t rob my gaff.
He was young, about 65 years. Respectable enough considering - M&S clothing bought by the wife before the kip was closed down, Echo shoes he bought himself alright desperately trying to elevate and let on he isn’t from Rochestown (didn’t work), a new Hyundai SUV but I wrote down the unusual garage sticker on the back and googled it to discover unsurprisingly that it’s actually some sort of long term pcp/hire thing which explains the 252 reg. His hair cut highlights his cash flow challenges.
Prob spends what he has on dog food for glorified greyhounds.
I did what I could to help the poor guy. Wish I could have done more. Is there any charity I can donate to for the likes?

Unfortunately made the mistake of buying on eBay and DPD delivering
Ringing and leaving messages since 9 this morning
No answer from the fuckta**s

Customer care numbers on Google are all not working
Rang HQ in Athlone
Rude bastard basically fobbed me off- Cirknhas nothing to do with us!
I asked “‘you are customer service?”
Yeahhhhhh
So says i Cork DPD have something to do with u?
Naaaaa


Vv frustrating shower of inept ppl

Agreed, they're brutal. I'm waiting for a delivery for the last two days. Yesterday they said "We tried to deliver but couldn't make contact with you to arrange delivery"

I have a video doorbell and of course that's not true.

It was then supposed to be delivered this morning and nothing again.

Well I physically called down to 2 DPD depots yesterday through all that feckin traffic
No one there- despite customer careAthlone telling me otherwise,
Then to top it off there was a fuckin crash on Carr’s hill otw back

You’d seriously think they’d at least answer the phones( I spent hours ringing-no joy)
Lucky enough I stopped a DPD van otw home “ Depot29@dpd ie he told me email and we will get back to u- they did thankfully

I can honestly say that I’ll never ever use them again

Where is a good truck driver when you need one?

Actually a smart arse Dunnes stores manager who fucked off the wrong truck driver once too often
( unnecessarily holding him up regularly and cocky about it hence leading to drivers missed ferry/ work a few times despite the man pleading with the Cirk guy)
He ended up going for a rough long spin to the border - wrapped in cling film- stripped naked and got a flew slaps-
End storyline- no more fuckin about with S Armagh/ Monaghan drivers
No gardai etc involved,
Happened long time ago but 100 pc true.
Afaik I ended up painting the managers house years later in passage,
He was based in. ballyvolane from memory- 25 odd years ago or thereabouts,

So although I detest DPD I can understand that as a former truck driver( worst job in Ireland )
Some Joe Public are bastards aswell,
I only took it full time because I was going through a divorce and needed a permanent job for the judge to look favourably at me in a custody battle in tbe family court-
I got my son 5 days a week from the age of 2 and a half until he left 2 years ago at tbe age of 21

But went straight back decorating as soon as the judge granted me major custody in a joint custody order- the sun shone bright that day for one Cork dad
