Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 1,449 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently mention that deliveries arrive promptly, and many drivers are notably polite, careful, and very helpful with heavy packages. People often appreciate receiving clear updates regarding the status of their shipments, which makes package tracking quite straightforward. However, some customers also noted frustrating delivery delays and packages frequently being left in insecure locations without prior notice. A few individuals experienced significant difficulties reaching support teams, describing unhelpful responses and long waiting times when issues arose. Others additionally mentioned instances where online tracking information conflicted with actual delivery statuses, causing completely avoidable confusion.

not a great start

not a great start, we just started using this company and already a customer couldn't find their delivery as it went to wrong place! No reply from customer service email in over 24 hours. This won't be good when we get into busy Christmas period & we have no replies to urgent queries.
Luckily customer has received package since, but only because we got onto the sales office who helped. Why no replies to emails from customer service??

*edited to add, it took 2 days to get a reply from 'customer service' email, and at that they didn't even have the updated information (as in the delivery was already made and rectified). We can't have this situation that it takes 2 days to get a reply. We have customers who will not be happy to wait for 2/3 days for updates, especially at busy times like Christmas. No other courier service we have used takes this long to even send a reply. Its simply not good enough.

Courier dumps the parcel outside

For the tenth time the courier just left the parcel outside, where anybody could've taken it. He rang the intercom, and did not wait even a minute to see if anybody's home, just left it outside. Once someone actually stole the parcel.

The driver couldn’t find my house, so he called me for directions. The delivery went really well, and he was very nice and friendly. Great service!

Delivery not often reliable

Delivery not often reliable - I have seen parcels just dropped over the gate in the rain, or parcels have been delivered with contents dented/broken inside due to rough handling.

Absolute shit customer service

Absolute shit customer service! The person on the phone was rude and didnt let me speak. The delivery was not supposed to happed today so I had to plan my whole day so I am at home when they deliver the parcel. I had asked for the driver contact details so I can speak with him to know what time I can expect delivery and they denied that and told me that whoever said the delivery was not happening today is lying. So he called me a liar and also didnt let me speak. Absolutely ridiculous

Minus star service received

The parcel on track and trace has shown out for delivery since 25/08 and I’m yet to receive it. Multiple emails sent through to their non existent customer service with no replies (even though this is their preferred method of communication), phone calls to their customer service and I get told I’ll have an answer in 2 hours time, well it’s been 48 hours and I still have no answer, GLS don’t know where my parcel is, I’m not allowed to collect my parcel from the depot and there are apparently no supervisors to talk to in the customer care centre. If you want your parcel to never be delivered or get lost in the network go ahead and use them. They seem to be great at that. Pity I can’t leave a minus star review.

Delivery driver left package at at the wrong address

Delivery driver left package at at the wrong address. I had to go to the wrong address and get it myself. The only plus was Karl at customer service who was very good to deal with. He was able to see what address it had been left at. It would be zero stars without Karl.
