Martin Lewis's team at Money Saving Expert (MSE) has revealed the 'best to worst' UK delivery firms according to a recent survey.
The team at MSE asked users to rate their experience with 17 parcel delivery companies throughout 2023.
56,000 votes were cast and the full list of results was published on the MSE website on Friday, February 16.
Each courier could be scored as either 'great', 'OK' or 'poor' in the poll which ran in early January 2024.
What is the best parcel delivery company in the UK?
DPD was crowned the best parcel delivery firm in the annual Money Saving Expert poll.
The company dethroned Amazon Logistics which had ranked top the previous two years.
DPD received 55% 'great' ratings, 31% 'OK' ratings and 15% 'Poor' to take first place.
Meanwhile its sister company DPD Local maintained its third place position from last year's poll.

Money Saving Expert users ranked TNT the lowest out of 17 couriers.
TNT received only 14% 'great' ratings from nearly 1,300 responses in the survey.
Last year, Evri, which rebranded from Hermes back in March 2022, scored the lowest.
On its website, the MSE team said that the latest votes from MoneySavers suggest its service quality has largely remained the same.
However, it added that it now sits slightly higher in the 2024 poll results at 16th place.
The researchers notes that CollectPlus and Yodel were the most improved firms after they jumped up five places each in the rankings.
On the other side, FedEx and UPS both fell four places from MSE's last poll.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
