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.

Very good experience

The driver rang - pleasant man to say that my delivery had arrived. I was 5 minutes away from my house and told him so - he asked if it be okay to leave at the door which I said was fine. Good service

You delivered my package

You delivered my package, yet again, to the wrong house. This only ever happens with GLS despite the correct eircode being entered . Very disappointing

Dropped package in wrong address

I had no issues so far, until today that they dropped my package in number 28 instead of 23, and I can't pick it up on my own because it's quite heavy. I find it a bit baffling as the address also had my eircode and I've been getting a package almost every month this year

Arrived as planned

Arrived as planned, early in the morning. Courteous driver who offered to carry heavy item inside for me ( I did not need him to do this but it was kind of him to offer.)
