Just left at the door

All contents were in good condition but the box was just left outside the door for everyone to see. This is clearly a risk and I don't understand why couriers do this. I would not send anything with GLS because of this for fear of theft .

Very disappointing experience with GLS

Very disappointing experience with GLS. My parcel has not been delivered to me. GLS keeps sending me a photo showing a door with house number 8, while I live at 108B. I have no idea where this is or which street it is on.
I have asked GLS to provide the exact delivery location, but instead I keep receiving the same photo. Where am I supposed to look for my parcel? This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.Very disappointing experience with GLS

Your Mission if you choose to accept it.

Got a parcel delivered yesterday as the Eircode is confusing in our rural area the parcel was delivered to a new neighbour’s house next door which is currently under renovations, we got an email to say it had been delivered but when we got home no sign of parcel Normally would call into the neighbours but as mentioned under renovations. Spoke to Karl in the Customer Service Team this morning who was able to provide a photo of the house it was delivered to (next door neighbour) called over to builder who had taken the parcel in yesterday. Parcel received, Mission Accomplished thanks to Karl in GLS.

Right house

I am happy the drivers can identify that some houses have a number and a letter. So they don't deliver my packages in a wrong house.

Delivery service needs to learn from customer service !!1

The reason I give three stars is because of the delay in delivering the parcel. Three days in a row I was told it was out for delivery but obviously it wasn't and it was delivered on the fourth day.
However, if I was to rate the customer service, especially, Paola who I dealt with, I was very happy with their quick response to my enquiries and their genuine desire to resolve the issue.

Absolutely frustrating from day 1

Absolutely frustrating from day 1. Monday I got an email saying my parcel was out for delivery. Not delivered. Tuesday the same thing. Nothing. Tracking then said it was back with the main area. Rang them and the lad said oh ya it's out for delivery tomorrow. That was yesterday and today still nothing. Absolute joke of a company. Waiting on the package as I'm going on holiday on Friday.

I highly recommend Paola

I highly recommend Paola, your customer service representative, for her excellent assistance and support. She responded promptly to my message and provided me with helpful information regarding my parcel. Her professionalism, patience, and willingness to assist made the process much easier and gave me confidence that my parcel was being properly handled.

I truly appreciate Paola’s excellent customer service and would like to commend her for the way she handled my enquiry. She is a great representative and a valuable asset to your customer service team.
