To think DPD make up driver names?

Today I have Fabian delivering to me and he's 15 mins away. I do so love the DPD tracker. I think Waitrose should have it on their delivery vans too.

We have Craig and Graham.

AlisonWunderland · 21/03/2016 10:04

I've been "delivered by Sergei"

AlisonWunderland · 21/03/2016 10:04

And Julian on Friday. He was nice.

Last week 'Roman' delivered our new blinds. I kid you not.

Ocado do - hence the thread on Jesus in the Cabbage Van

ProfessorPickles · 21/03/2016 10:11

I remember Jesus in the cabbage van Grin

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 21/03/2016 10:21

I always have the same DPD driver and his name on the tracking is always the same.

I remember Jesus in the cabbage van. I'm hoping my Easter order might just be on his route this year Grin

I'm slow this morning, I've only just got your post MeDearNoDear Grin

We run a business from home so know our dos driver really well. We are now personal friend with him and his wife.

It's his real name, even though it's along the lines of Fabian.

I have Salim most of the time.., upsetting when it's someone else as they never leave the parcel in the porch like I ask Envy

WhereYouLeftIt · 21/03/2016 11:46

Ocado tell you who's delivering and in what van (lemon, strawberry etc).

So one delivery was 'Jesus in the cabbage van'.

I give you . Enjoy!

SistersOfPercy · 21/03/2016 11:47

Ocado have a Mac in the Apple van as well. Amused me greatly.

I had Justin last week. Have to say he didn't look like a Justin. Was tempted to ask.

Redglitter · 21/03/2016 11:50

I love DPD. Craig and I are on first name terms!! Their tracking system is brilliant every delivery company should be made to adopt it

TheFutureMrsB · 21/03/2016 11:52

We always have DPD Dan, it would feel strange not to see his name come up now lol

scrivette · 21/03/2016 12:12

We have DPD Scott who looks like a Ken doll, very helpful and always brings in my packages if they are heavy and I am holding the baby.

MsBojangles · 21/03/2016 12:13

My Gary is always Gary.

My Jadeep isn't always the real Jadeep!

BertrandRussell · 21/03/2016 12:16

We always have Genardi in our village. We track him and chat about him on FB.

SymphonyofShadows · 21/03/2016 12:25

I have Daynell. He is gorgeous and is normally bringing shoes so it's win win

weechops · 21/03/2016 12:41

I have DPD Donny and he's fab. He knows if my living room blind is closed, the toddler is napping on the couch so he doesn't knock, just quietly leaves parcel in my hall. Previously agreed, not creepy 😄

Kidnapped · 21/03/2016 12:46

Oh, YouWakeUpFlawless,

We used to have Salim before we moved here. Nice fella. Wonder if he is the same guy doing the same route?

We have Luke now. He's also nice.

I spoke to o2 on live chat recently first I spoke to Jim who transferred me to Ibad. He wasn't though he was lovely.

CorBlimeyTrousers · 21/03/2016 13:02

I've had Dilpesh from DPD a couple of times. Rarely the same Ocado driver though - Paul, Francis, Glenn, Thomas, Robert, Abbas, Marcus, Ibrahim, Mbako (from my Ocado text messages).
