Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 1,449 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently mention that deliveries arrive promptly, and many drivers are notably polite, careful, and very helpful with heavy packages. People often appreciate receiving clear updates regarding the status of their shipments, which makes package tracking quite straightforward. However, some customers also noted frustrating delivery delays and packages frequently being left in insecure locations without prior notice. A few individuals experienced significant difficulties reaching support teams, describing unhelpful responses and long waiting times when issues arose. Others additionally mentioned instances where online tracking information conflicted with actual delivery statuses, causing completely avoidable confusion.

Missing box(s)

Worse delivery company in whole…

Worse delivery company in whole Ireland, I don't understand why some business still using this company. Parcel sitting in local hub for 3 days, customer service is awful, for 2 days I was waiting on phone more than 20 minutes, being 3rd in the line. Finally got through and they don't even know when parcel going to be delivered.

Wanted to a make a return and downloaded my return slip, scanned the qr for drop off locations. The map is very difficult to navigate but eventually found a drop off point In Roscrea so drove 24km to find that they don’t take GLS even though they’re listed on the website. Impossible to find locations for drop off for returns. Website map out of date. Very frustrating!!

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!
