Leave orders in view of everyone
Company has lost 3 of my orders. They send an email to say the order will arrive in the next few days, when you request they leave it in a secure place they advise they can only do this when the order is out for delivery. When they send the email to say it's out for delivery and you email them to ask for it to be left in a safe place by the time they get to my request it has already been left in full view of the entire neighbourhood. Today's order was left outside my front door even though it was small enough to fit in the letter box

Worst experience possible
My parcels both had a contact phone number on the delivery label on the front of them but the delivery driver never contacted me instead my parcels were left thrown outside my gateway in the pouring rain, they got so wet the cardboard disintegrated when I tried to pick it up and the contents inside which were presents for my child's birthday were destroyed, I am disgusted and heartbroken that anyone would think that it was ok to knowingly leave parcels in the pouring rain like that common sense would clearly tell you otherwise, would give minus 5 stars if I could

My parcel was left at the door
My parcel was left at the door, the driver never rang the bell nor knock at the door. CCTV footage has captured the driver just placing the parcel and taking a photo. My door bell is talk back and camera too. Very disappointed with this.

The Parcel was delivered.However as I knew that I would not be at home I endeavoured to contact your customer service section to re arrange delivery.I must say that your phone/answering service is appalling and I failed to make contact with a representative despite five or six attempts.I resorted to leaving a large note attached to my letter box requesting the delivery driver to leave the parcel at the side of the house in a bag which I provided,this request was ignored.The reason I requested this was because the contents were susceptible to rain damage.In the event it did not rain so that was ok , down to pure luck.That’s the reason for one star,tom power

Serious Health & Hygiene Concern – Completely Unacceptable Service from GLS Ireland
My experience with GLS Ireland has been absolutely unacceptable.
On 13 July 2026, four parcels, each weighing approximately 15 kg, were not delivered to my home. Instead, the driver left them approximately 200 metres away, on the ground in a dirt area.
I am disabled and physically unable to carry four parcels of that weight. I had to call my neighbours and ask them to help me get the parcels home. This should never have happened.
To make matters worse, there was a dirty, used tissue left on top of the parcels which appeared to have blood or another bodily substance on it. I cannot say for certain what the substance was, but it was disgusting, unhygienic and raised a very legitimate concern about contamination and health.
I immediately complained to GLS and have now contacted them twice. GLS acknowledged my complaint and said it had been passed to the relevant team.
And then… nothing.
It is now 13 September 2026. Two months have passed since the incident, and I still have no proper explanation, no outcome of the investigation and no indication that anyone has taken responsibility for what happened.
The complete lack of follow-up is almost as unacceptable as the original delivery.
I should not have had to struggle to retrieve four extremely heavy parcels from a dirt area 200 metres from my home. I should not have had to rely on neighbours because a delivery driver couldn’t bring the parcels to my house. And I certainly should not have had to deal with a potentially contaminated used tissue being left on top of my parcels.
What exactly is the point of making a complaint if GLS simply acknowledges it and then does nothing?
This is not customer service. This is not acceptable treatment of a disabled customer. And after two months, I am completely dissatisfied with GLS Ireland’s handling of my complaint.
I would strongly advise GLS to take complaints seriously, investigate them properly and actually provide customers with an outcome instead of sending an acknowledgement and then going silent.
I have kept my correspondence and evidence relating to this incident and will now consider taking the matter further through the appropriate channels.
