So far I've actually been rather critical of DPD. But now I have to correct that. The delivery was fast, reliable and DPD puts the parcel at the front door without ringing the doorbell unnecessarily and notifies me on my smartphone that it is in front of the door. Anyone who complains about this should think about their sanity or finally get a smartphone. The delivery services would be a gigantic super spreader for the virus. In America, parcels have simply been dropped off for decades. At some point you have to move towards modernity and the future. But it is precisely because of such people who complain about this that Germany will always be the left-behind, old-fashioned hole in the middle of Europe.
