£56,000 worth of claims since October would suggest otherwise.yup, i thought DHL were brilliant, always delivered by 2pm at the latest and the one time i missed a delivery the guy left it with one of my neighbors (instead of doing what ever other company i've used does which is to card me with a blank card) and put a card through my door clearly marked with the name and address of the neighbor, perfect to be honest.
From July/August you'll be able to book a 1 hour delivery window.
Oh crap :/.I called them and my nearest depot is Peterborough 35 miles away, my DHL and City Link depots are about 1 and 3 miles away
.
I've never heard of DPD either, but they're the UK arm of one of the largest delivery companies in the world, La Poste.
On the same volume of delivery we experienced less than half that amount with City-Link, Amtrak and Lynx.
Already requested
I'm hoping the lack of any published list doesn't speak volumes!
Teach me for skimming the thread 
One would have thought cost to the company, time to pick up, reliability, speed of delivery, cost to consumer, accuracy and a whole host of other business decisions where more important then whether or not the local depot is two minutes from your house.
They were awarded the contract based on many things, not least of which was our and our suppliers personal experience. Depot location isn't critical. Reliability and integrity of delivery is.
Never had any problems with DHL myself, but that is a pretty shocking amount in that time.
Exactly. Unless of course the courier is unreliable. That's what we are moving away from.
Why? You're paying for an item to be delivered to your home, not the depot.
