I ordered an item on Thursday and it was sent out same day, with next
day delivery by DPD. This is the sequence of delivery as it was
advised...

Thursday advised twice it would be delivered Friday around 11am
Friday afternoon advised it would not be delivered until 11am Monday.
Saturday, this morning, confirmed 11am Monday.
Saturday I have just been advised it will be delivered today between
10:40 and 11:40

Would the package be travelling through any of the flooded areas by any
chance? I find DPD to be the most reliable of the courier services and
would expect that sort of problem only if there were some sort of
external problem that was beyond their control.

It would not have to, Crewe to Leeds.

They suggested the collected it on Thursday, now they changed that to
having collected it Friday - which suppose helps it meet the next day
delivery.

Hope your package has arrived by now! I wonder if DPD's online tracking
service would have given advance notice of non-delivery.

That almost certainly means:

Day 1: Crewe to central distribution depot
Sort overnight
Day 2: Central distribution depot to Leeds

So a lot will depend upon where their central distribution depot is and
what routes are blocked by flooding.

They suggested the collected it on Thursday, now they changed that to
having collected it Friday - which suppose helps it meet the next day

It arrived this morning, but...

I ordered a set of four colour laser cartridges and the sender omitted
the red one, so I have had to message the seller. The red (magenta) was
the worst of the set I have in at the comment.

Maybe the supplier booked the collection on thursday, but then didn't
have your parcel ready for handover when DPD arrived that day, so it
waited until the next day's collection?
