The box was left outside my door, completely exposed, and was already open. Thankfully it was only cat food, but it could easily have been stolen. Delivery services these days are just crazy — I do... See more

Parcel dumped over wall

GLS parcel 21599947187

Parcel dumped over wall and left on the lawn. It is a simple thing to slide the gate open and leave the parcel in the front porch but delivery person too lazy and disinterested to do so. This is an ongoing occurrence. Wouldn't use GLS myself.
Same thing happened this morning 19th August 2026 parcel dumped on wet lawn after overnight rain. GLS delivery person unwilling to deliver to front porch where my parcels would be safe. GLS has asked for more information, I don't know how much more information I can give I think this review says it all.

Never received my parcel

I got a product delivered message but my product was not delivered to me. I was here all morning when the parcel is shown to have been delivered to me. This is the second time that GLS have done this to me. My house is easy to find and well marked. I never have a problem with deliveries from An Post or DPD.

If I could put zero stars I would

If I could put zero stars I would. Gls received a package for me 7 days ago, every day since they send me an email stating that my package is out for delivery. Today I called again customer service since there are perishable items in the package. They refused to help, they said that the driver didn’t have time to deliver it ( unbelievable) and refused to contact the driver. The person at customer service stated that he doesn’t care about my situation. SHAME
