Completely unprofessionell Customer Service agent telling me that the package was left at the near gas station, which was not true. Only hours later the chauffeur cleared up the mess and the packages was located - not at the gas station!

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.

The worst

One of my parcels was delivered by a Delivery man delivering items from a Ford Fiesta - looks super dodgy. My other parcel is yet to arrive, it keeps returning to the parcel centre honestly could not be any worse. Plus driver is not contactable and not trackable

Delivery driver delivered my parcel to my place of work on 2nd floor. I was worried all day as my previous delivery with GLS was left on the ground floor wedged behind the banister in a very busy building and could have been stolen. So Thankyou to the delivery driver today who did his job correctly, I appreciate you.
