German-based parcel courier DPD are one of the world's leading delivery companies. Founded in the late 70s in Germany, the company grew quickly year after year. Deliveries increased from an already impressive 1.4 million parcel deliveries in the first year, up to an extremely impressive 7.0 million after just three years in 1980. The feat in itself would see the courier become internationally known and a major service which many businesses depend, trust and rely upon.
Nowadays, that 7 Million deliveries in a year figure is frankly dwarfed by the statistics they can muscle today. An average day for DPD Couriers sees as many as 2 million parcels delivered on a daily basis. Impressive stuff, and that's why we're proud to use DPD as one of our main couriers to deliver our parcels.
The courier company is now owned by La Poste, the French equivalent of the Royal Mail, who certainly know their stuff and have plenty of experience with deliveries, as you'd expect.
DPD Couriers are one of Europe's most well known parcel delivery services, specialising in more short distance deliveries than anything else. It's due to this, that their pricing structure is sorted to tailor specifically for short distance deliveries such as those within the UK or to close countries within Europe. If you're sending a parcel in the UK, to Ireland or to France, chances are DPD will be your courier of choice. Another of services, TNT Couriers, likely won't come close in terms of price, but you're free to choose!
