No mystery really. They are part of the same company and have similar
customer interface.
It is only the express service that gives you delivery numbers and
minute by minute tracking but even the basic service give you an email
early in the morning of the delivery day stating a 1 hour window for the
delivery.
I agree they are by far the best service as a recipient and must be
competitive for trade senders. I've not tried using them as a private
sender.
Other carriers take note.

Yes, I think someone else mentioned all this recently. I've had quite a
few personal deliveries courtesy of their Predict service. I quite often
walk out to the car park at work as the delivery vehicle pulls up, show
ID and load the parcel straight into my car to take home.

They could all be like this, it's only laziness and an unwillingness to
adopt change that causes them not to be.
Simple tracking chip in van, constantly sends signal to HQ computer, which
constantly sends SMS messages to customers' phones, no one needs to type
anything or do anything, cost is practically zero and the system could
handle hundreds of vans and litterally thousands of text messages every day.
There's a cab company around here that started something similar 2 years
ago, even now the rest are just catching up, but quite probably way too late
as this company now has the lions share of the market. You call or text for
a taxi and a text is recieved back telling you reg number, colour and make
of car that has been despatched and how long it will be, then when it's
outside your phone rings and a text arrives 1 minute later in case you
missed the call. The driver does nothing to instigate any of this, it's all
done electronically

Yeah, computers are great, once you get them working for you instead of
you working for them.

Yep, DPD seem to be the best (by far).

Unlike the completely useless Yodel. Ebuyer have been emailing me for the
last 3 months offering me free next day delivery. Decide to use it yesterday
and Yodel have failed to deliver.

Ebuyer can't explain why yodel are sitting on the parcel.

Grrrr...

MobileFun have done the right thing - I choose from a list of NAMED couriers
and delivery times with varying prices.

Needless to say I chose DPD and was very pleased to see the on the list.

*That's* the way it should be

They are a good service but about £1 per parcel more expensive than
most other carriers on medium sized contracts (50-500 parcels/day).
Somewhat more for smaller contracts as I recall.

I've just ordered about 100Kg of assorted flours from Shipton Mill who
use DPD... Free delivery for orders over £30! Apparently they have to
box sacks of flour - wonder what a box with a 25Kg sack inside is going
to look like...

Very reliable. I use Amazon Prime and have had 23 next day deliveries
in the last 3 and a bit months, including 2 placed after 6pm, all
without a single problem.
