When will my parcel be delivered?

Our parcel delivery service operates Monday to Saturday, from 08.30 to 18.00. If the sender has used the Predict service, you’ll be informed of the day and time slot when your delivery will be made. You can follow your parcel on myDPD.

My parcel has not arrived (yet). What now?

If the sender has used the Predict service, you’ll be informed of the day and time slot when your delivery will be made. While we do our very best to deliver at the designated time, this time is an estimate. Delays can sometimes occur due to unforeseen circumstances. Our parcel tracking function enables you to follow the progress of your parcel online at any time. If the status of your parcel remains unchanged for a long period or if it isn\'t delivered at the indicated time, you are welcome to contact us.

A parcel that is displayed to me as "delivered" has not arrived. What is the reason for this?

Please check whether the parcel has been deposited in the safe place you have specified, or has been delivered to a neighbour. If the parcel can\'t be found, please contact our customer service via the contact form.

The parcel is already out for delivery. Can I still change the day or place of delivery?

Yes, you can redirect your parcel even until just before delivery. You can see which redirection options are available in the live tracking information for the parcel.

How far in advance of delivery do I have to provide the deposit authorization?

You can even indicate a safe place during delivery. You can see whether this is possible in the change options.

How many delivery attempts does DPD make to business addresses?

Our drivers make two delivery attempts as standard. if the consignee is not present at the address, the driver will leave a note in the letterbox. The driver will then attempt to deliver the parcel again on the next working day. If the consignee is absent once again, the driver will leave another note in the letterbox. The note explains how the consignee can obtain the parcel.

What is my parcel number and where can I find it?

This is the 14-digit parcel number that you received from the sender or that is stated in the email or SMS from DPD containing the details of your scheduled delivery. If you were unable to accept delivery of your package, the driver will leave a note in your letterbox which also contains this 14-digit number.
