Send a parcel with DPD
Premium next-day delivery with a one-hour window.
DPD is the courier people pick when the delivery experience matters: next-day services, a one-hour delivery window texted to the recipient on the day, and some of the most precise tracking in the UK.
It costs more than the budget networks, but for time-sensitive or higher-value parcels the predictability is usually worth it.

DPD's network includes pickup shops in local stores and door-to-door collection; the handoff options actually bookable for your parcel are shown on each quote.

Common questions
How does DPD's one-hour window work?
On the morning of delivery DPD narrows the slot to one hour and notifies the recipient, who can watch the driver's progress live. It's the feature DPD is best known for.
Is DPD worth the extra cost?
For parcels that must arrive on a specific day — or where the recipient needs to be in — usually yes. For everyday low-value parcels a budget network often makes more sense. Compare both and decide per parcel.
Does DPD deliver next day?
Yes — next-working-day delivery is DPD's core offer. Each quote shows its own delivery estimate and how the parcel is handed over.
