What is happening in the supply chain

Overnight trunking trailers from DPD UK's Leicestershire hubs (Hinckley Hub 4/5 or Oldbury) have unloaded your parcel at your local DPD depot (`At delivery depot`). Once your driver scans the final van manifest and departs the depot (usually between 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM), DPD sends your exact **1-hour Predict delivery window** with live map tracking.

Frequently asked questions

What time does DPD UK send the 1-hour delivery slot after 'At our local depot'?
DPD sends the 1-hour Predict SMS/email as soon as your driver's route is finalized and leaves the depot—typically between 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM (by 11:00 AM at the latest).
Will my parcel definitely come today if DPD says 'At our local depot'?
Yes—unless your parcel was booked on a future-dated delivery day (`Held at depot for agreed delivery date`), parcels scanned at the local depot before 8:00 AM go out for delivery that morning.
Can I divert my DPD UK parcel to a DPD Pickup Shop while it's at the local depot?
Yes—use the DPD app or the link in your Predict notification to select `Leave in a Safe Place`, `Deliver to a Neighbour`, or `Collect from a DPD Pickup Shop`.
