DPD is an international parcel delivery company owned by GeoPost. It has more than 830 depots in more than 40 countries and is one of Europe's leading business-to-business parcel delivery services.

History

The company was founded in 1977 in Aschaffenburg, West Germany. In its first year of operation, over 1.4 million parcels were shipped. By 1980, this figure had risen to 7 million per year. Today, 2 million parcels are shipped every day. DPD was originally Deutscher Paketdienst until 2008 (meaning German Parcel Service), and "Dynamic Parcel Distribution".

DPD is majority-owned by GeoPost, a subsidiary of La Poste, France's postal service.[1]

Geopost bought UK carrier Parceline and Ireland's Interlink parcels service in 2001 for around $277 million.[2] Parceline was rebranded DPD in March 2008.

Many clients of the company had major issues with company support services and general reliability with the deliveries [3]
