Nightmare DPD deliveries


I purchased my phone on 05/06/2024, as part of a 24 month contract from ID mobile and I am still waiting for it to delivered by DPD. Three times they have attempted to make the delivery to my house, or so they claim, and all three times I have been at home. No doorbell or knock has been heard at all, they haven’t even got out of the delivery vehicle. On two of the three deliveries, I  have actually tracked the vehicle using the DPD app and stood in my driveway waiting for the arrival of my parcel only to see a vehicle, stop, take a random picture, then head off. Shortly afterwards I have received a text informing me that an attempt was made to deliver my parcel and nobody was available so I should reschedule the delivery. The three pictures they have sent me bear absolutely no resemblance to my property at all. Trying to contact DPD to discuss the problem or arrange a possible collection, or a delivery on a Saturday has proved impossible. Likewise with ID mobile, no constructive help at all. If the same scenario occurs during the fourth attempt to deliver the phone on Friday, I’m afraid I will have no option but to cancel my agreement with ID mobile. To be quite honest, this has been an absolute pain in the arse…..

Hi Tom.

Thanks for your reply and apologies for not getting back to you sooner, anyway!, i cancelled my contract with ID mobile, through no fault of theirs, then went into curry’s and spoke to an extremely helpful chap who organised a new, and better contract for me, with ID mobile, then four days later I collected my new phone without the nightmare of having to deal with DPD. I certainly learnt a lesson from it all.

I'm also having a nightmare with DPD!!   No delivery options work for me and they have my phone and only work Mon to Friday.  Can't change the delivery address.  Help! I really want my phone!

I am currently talking to you on live chat.  I can see that you are working hard to resolve the issue but DPD still have my phone and it's nearly 2 weeks since I ordered my phone.  I have a bill to pay but no phone 😕.

Hi ​@Tryinghard,

Did you manage to get this resolved via Live Chat?

The team should be able to look at covering the time without the handset.

Thank you for your reply. 

 

So to confirm, you have an active iD Mobile account and do not have a Tesco Mobile account.

You have been advised that Tesco are sending you a new SIM out, is this correct?

 

Thanks,
