- 1-hour delivery slot: On the morning of your delivery, you will be sent a text/email with a 1-hour delivery slot.
- Track your driver: With the DPD App you can track your driver. You will have access to the driver’s route and location so you can see when they are near your property.
- Not going to be in? You can change your delivery address or even request DPD to deliver to a local store. Or, you can update your driver to e.g. 'leave parcel in shed'. Click here to find your local participating DPD Pickup Shop.
- Need to change your delivery date/time? No problem. Once you have your tracking number from DPD you can log in and make those changes. Any additional delivery charges can be made directly to DPD through the DPD app.
- Know your parcel's exact location: When your driver delivers your parcel, the driver will take a photo of its location i.e. by the front door or the shed, so that you know exactly where your parcel has been left. Not in? If you're not in when the driver calls, a photo will be taken of your front door and a card placed through your letterbox.
