The consignee receives a 4-digit PIN code (via SMS or to the VIber app, if he use it). Then courier arrives, consignee provides the PIN code for courier. Courier enters the PIN code on the scanner and, if the code is correct, leaves the parcel at a distance of 2 meters from consignee.
If consignee is unable to provide the PIN code, the PIN code shall be replaced in one of the following ways:
1. Courier asks consignee to show a valid ID (passport, ID card, driving licence, residence permit) from a distance and enters the last 5 digits of the document (not personal code) to the courier's device. This fact is considered as proof that parcel has been delivered to consignee.
2. The parcel could be redirected by courier to the most convenient DPD Pickup terminal locker (if the dimensions and weight allow).
3. If the consignee refuses to perform the aforementioned actions, the courier shall not deliver a parcel. The parcel shall be returned to the sender.
Courier will deliver the parcels to premises and will take a picture of parcels. Fragments of the premises must be visible in the photo. This photo will be considered as proof that the parcel has been delivered to consignee.

You should notify your customers about contactless delivery by posting this information on your website, and by notifying the customers additionally by e-mail, text messages and otherwise.

If your parcel is heavier than 31,5 kg, make sure that Ordered Loading service (UKD) is ordered by consignee. In such a case two couriers will unload and deliver the parcel to the consignee's door without the contact of the consignee. If ordered loading service (UKD) is not ordered, the consignee will have to unload the parcel without the help of a courier, so there should be somebody else at the consignee's place to help. Courier will not help unload or carry the parcel. If nobody is there to help the consignee, the parcel will not be delivered to consignee on that day. The parcel can be delivered on the other day if consignee finds someone to help them OR sender orders Loading Services (UKD) and two DPD couriers will unload the parcel without the help of consignee.
Replacement of content of delivered parcel (SWAP), photo-taking of personal document and other services not mentioned above shall continue in the same procedure.
