Wouldn't it be cool if ParcelForce could tell you EXACTLY where your
parcel was? They have GPS in their vans don't they?

They're stuck back in the ark.

But DPD do exactly that.


You mean if I track a DPD parcel coming to my house, I can see where it
is?


Yes. Although it depends on the service the sender has selected. It
tracks as with all the other carriers until it leaves the local depot.
Then you can see the van's location, and how many deliveries are left
before yours, and how long it will be.


Cool. I knew they were better than others (they give you a 1 hour delivery window), but I didn't know they were that good.
