What happens if DPD lost my package?
If you haven't seen any new scans in Track and Trace for a few days, we would like to investigate the missing parcel. Inform the sender of your parcel that your parcel is missing so that they can start an investigation with our help.
We only insure parcels which comply with DPD's General Conditions and the Higher insurance supplementary information. Have you chosen Higher insurance? That does not lead to compensation for loss or damage. You will only receive compensation if the insurance company gives its approval.

Why hasn't my parcel been collected? There are few reasons why a courier may not be present for a scheduled collection: Driver Out of Time — other deliveries have ran over their allotted time period, which means there's no time left on the day for the driver to collect your parcel.
If you are sending a parcel to a business address, the driver will attempt to deliver the parcel a maximum of three times. The last attempt will only take place by appointment. If it still was not possible to deliver the parcel, the parcel will send back to the sender.
