DPD delivered an empty bag

Help! I've just upgraded my phone and it was meant to be delivered today. Driver turned up, asked for the code then threw the bag at me, sprinted off to his van.

The bag is empty!!! I tried to chase him up the road but I'm pregnant so couldn't catch him! 

What do I do now? I called DPD and they said they will open an investigation but I need to report to id.

There are no numbers to call???? 

The driver was called Panko if that helps?

    Hi ​@Matthew T

    Hi ​@amykt01 
    Thanks for raising! Investigations can take over a week depending on the situation so not hearing back in a few days is within a normal timeframe.

    That said, I understand how frustrating this must be for you, and I’m very sorry to hear this happened. I’ll reach out to you in a DM once I’ve learned more about your specific investigation. 

    Thanks,
    Genevieve

    The same thing has just happened to me DPD, I got it all on camera I refused the empty parcel now I have no phone no ide what’s happening. Now signed into a contract and they delivery company have stolen it. I spoke to someone on ID chat but given the cost of this item I just want someone to speak to me on the phone or tell me what happens. Did you get yours sorted?

    Hey, iD literally sorted out a new phone the next day! They had to open an investigation but everything was sorted in the end. Good luck!

    They opened an investigation I believe still not heard anything or even any clue of what they intend to do despite having video footage. I can’t see me getting my replacement phone as quick as you did :(

    I did gwt it sorted it was alot of hassle and because mine was an upgrade and i had my sim in my old phone they blacklisted it and said they lifted it anyway its completely blocked my old iPhone  no one will sort it and they claim they can only block there own device which clearly isn’t the case they told me they blacklisted the sim or whatever on the 7th july that then somehow blacklisted a iPhone I didn’t even purchase from them absolute joke. But I did get the replacement phone wasnt worth costing me my other phone and all the hassle though
