DPD delivery on a Sunday?

Compound · 19 Dec 2010 at 10:44

Hi there, question in the title really.

My parcel was due for delivery yesterday but because of the snow it didn't arrive.

However when i check its status today it says its on the van for delivery again.

Is this right or is it a glitch?

Quite possible. I know there have been Royal Mail van deliveries today. Could be the same with DPD.

I'd say its pretty likely. They have such a large backlog that they'll probably be delivering non-stop up until the 24th!

As far as i know they are going out whenever they can get out. :cool:

It's on the van.

The van is locked in the warehouse. The driver is at home enjoying his day off.

I can confirm that a lot of depots are open today, and some of the drivers are delivering on a Sunday to catch up on the backlog in some areas.

We have had deliveries on a Sunday which was surprising.

This is most probably the correct answer. Some couriers are delivering on Sunday to clear backlogs so you'll have to wait and see.

I received a Royal Mail First Class parcel this morning that was from OcUK, disturbed my Sunday morning lie in

I had a DPD delivery last Sunday, they were just trying to catch up

Anyone know if City Link are delivering?

Was expecting a package on Friday but it hasn't arrived, nor did it yesterday. I needed/wanted it for tomorrow! :mad:

And you can't even ring them because they aren't taking calls.

I would imagine the Citylink call centre will know this.

City Link website lists most depots as closed today. I'd assume delivery includes that.

UK mail had a backlog of 22,000 undelivered parcels in their scottish depots at the begining of last week. They were asking all the other depots to send up 2 drivers to help clear the back log.

Thats fine they all said, but happens to all the parcels those drivers should be delivering while they are in scotland?

D'oh.

There are currently 250 undelivered consignments for market rasen alone sat in their lincoln warehouse, Market Rasen is made up of about 6 streets.

Its all fine them ****ing off home at the first signs of snow, they dont think what those handfull of stolen hours at home costs.
