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.

Terrible service

Terrible service. Twice my packages have said delivered yet I have not received. Was told the driver would call me to say where he delivered it too. Got no call and emails unanswered. Will not use a company that use these to deliver. Terrible customer service too when I called. Did not help/apologise on behalf of company.

Yet another bad experience from GLS

Yet another bad experience from GLS. My parcel was due today. Tracking said it would be delivered sometime today and then changed to 'The parcel could not be delivered as further address information is needed.' They have my address and phone number. No other information is given - if they need more info they could indicate this when I use tracking - they are lying or incompetant - So what do I do now - wait all day tomorrow? Check to see if they hand it over to an post? Wish I could give these idiots zero!

Six times in a row

Six times in a row, drivers have dumped my packages by the front gate—miles away from my actual front door—without even bothering to knock. Because these deliveries contained food, they were left out in the sun to spoil or be stolen. I'm Disabled and I’ve had to struggle carrying these heavy boxes inside myself, essentially doing the driver’s job for them.

Every time I contact customer service with photo evidence, I get the exact same generic response: "Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we value your feedback..." It’s meaningless automated rubbish. I asked for my issue to be escalated to management, and my recent emails have been completely ignored. They clearly do not care about their customers. Avoid at all costs.

DO NOT US THIS COMPANY they do not value its cumsomers at all they do not care

Good morning,

We are deeply sorry for this recurring issue with your deliveries, especially given that you are living with a disability and had to struggle with heavy boxes. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration regarding previous responses.

Please reply to our Trustpilot request with your tracking details so our management team can investigate this with the local depot and ensure it is resolved.

It seems like the parcel is never going to arrive.
2 weeks and still no show.
It's not good enough. Deliveries from abroad take less time to arrive.

Everything was great

Everything was great. The shop told me the expected delivery date was on Monday, but on Friday I got an email that my package was out for delivery. Very organized and best communication. I also got a confirmation delivery email. Thanks!
