We have the best service with Gls always, the driver in our area will ring us before he arrives and could not do more to accommodate us. Always a great experience as we receive orders from Zooplus at least once a month.

The worst service ever

The worst service ever, parcel not collected since last Wednesday. The driver is not showing up but reports to the management that "it's unable to collect the parcel because customer is on holidays" Radicilous!!!

The box was left outside my door

The box was left outside my door, completely exposed, and was already open. Thankfully it was only cat food, but it could easily have been stolen. Delivery services these days are just crazy — I don’t know what’s happening anymore!
