“It happened again. I have been told that parcel will be delivered today between 5pn-6pm.. I was back home nice and early at 4pm.
Delivery man never showed up. No surprised.. At 7 pm I rang dhl customer service. They told me that he has the same note in the system as me: Your parcel will be delivered today between 5 and 6 pm.
Then the online status of my parcel has changed to: The delivery has been refused... Please contact the sender. (the sender lol) I went downstairs as I live in block of flats and have found BLANK note from dhl delivery man by the main doors of the block of flats. So I rang the customer service again, had been redirected several times again and FINALLY I have been told that the item was delivered 3 hours before agreed time, no one was at home and I have to rearrange the delivery, so I did. I will keep You updated.”
“I would never use or advise using this company. Why? read on.
While I can accept that things can go wrong occasionally with delivery services, traffic, vehicle breakdowns, accidents, etc. but what is most exceptionally annoying is not advising the client when a delivery goes badly wrong.
On Thursday I waited for my next day tracked delivery sent on the Wednesday, nothing arrived at the due time, after three hours overdue I checked their tracking on line, it stated that the delivery was due three hours previously, no mention of the delay. I checked again later, the tracking information had been updated advising that it would be next day, Friday, delivery with no explanation. On Friday, the tracking site had reverted to the original information, i.e. delivery was delayed until Friday. I waited all day until 4.00pm then contacted customer services by 'phone. The person who answered advised me the my parcel was back in the warehouse, she was very apologetic and told me they could not deliver on Saturday but that I could collect it myself, 49 miles away, on a Friday at 4.00pm? No thanks! Finally arrived 5 days late, no reason given, no apology and their terms and conditions effectively mean that no compensation is due.”
“Utterly useless company.....went for the next day service and 7 days later it is still not delivered and the latest message is they will attempt to deliver on day 10. The driver is delivering to a factory and claims he can't access yet when I call them they state they are open. The driver has a contact number for the receiver but obviously can't be bothered to call it. Whenever I try to call them it's an automated system so no one to speak to. USELESS!!”
“As others have reported, they said they tried to deliver but didn't. Then they reported the address was bad and couldn't deliver. The phone system is automated and its not possible to call even though their website says it is. Fortunately, I change the routing to a nearby shop and got my parcel. There was nothing wrong with the address.”
“Horrible experience. I shipped my luggage from the UK to Thailand. Shipping is pretty fast (only two days), but the customs process DHL dealt with took almost a month, a process that can be done in a day. On top of that, I also had to pay DHL quite a lot for the time (1 month) my luggage was kept in storage while DHL was veryyyy slowly dealing with thai customs. Would’ve gave it less than 1 star if I could.”
“Text at 10am of delivery at 1pm, missed the delivery due being away with limited phone access, second txt saying delivery next day with times, I organised for my daughter to be home. No delivery and no explanation as to where the parcel was, 4 days later they randomly deliver it to a parcel shop half an hour away, and claim that this had been requested and that’s why the second delivery never happened, this is lies. I have tried twice on line and 3 times by phone to get a code for collection, they claim to have sent the code, nothing received by me either by text or email. It’s just lie after lie. I would avoid buying from anyone who uses DHL”
“Appalling service. After not being able to get my parcel from a locker, despite several tries, I contacted Customer service who said they would deliver to my home. Waited in all day, no delivery. Phoned customer service at 7p a minute to be told they can't take the parcel out of the locker for re delivery for 7 days, so why I was told it would be re delivered a day later, God only knows. Poor organisation, clearly profiting at the cost of customer satisfaction. I order goods regularly from a company who use DHL, so will complain to them also about their choice of delivery company. If enough people complain maybe they dump you. Companies like DHL don't deserve to be in business.”
“Was told my delivery would be with me this afternoon, waited in, to get an email saying tried to deliver but I wasn't in.
If you didn't have time as ideas towards the end of the day just say, don't lie and say you tried to deliver!”
“Delivery driver should mind his own business and do his job of delivering and collecting parcels and Without any stupid comments. Bournemouth westcliff gardens”
“I didn't choose DHL as my delivery provider, the Company I purchased from(euro car parts) use them. All other couriers I use have good tracking systems in place where you can see where your driver is and how long until your package arrives. However, DHL have none of this technology, they state that your package will arrive by the end of the day (really helpful) I have wasted a days holiday waiting for my delivery, which is a replacement Car Battery. Not to mention missing the slot at my local Garage to have it fitted. Looks like I will waste another days holiday tomorrow as I won't have my Car to get to work. Terrible Courier service and backward information service provided.”
“The worst , most unreliable company to deal with.
I paid for an express service 1-2 days, as it's urgent and my parcel hasn't been delivered 5 days later. Customer service lied to me that my parcel was hold by Heathrow's customs. I contacted them to find out that they never received it!
Last time in my life I am using this company.”
“There was an issue on my order where two digits of the post code where wrong. Apparently this was enough to throw a delivery and logistics company into a state of confusion and something that could have easily been rectified if they just called the phone number on the order or gave customers a way of contacting them.
The idea of providing customer service through social media is a great one until the company decides responding once and then ignoring more than ten messages constitutes as good customer service.
When someone finally called me back, their only course of action was to blame other members of the DHL customer service team, offer a half-hearted apology and tell me that I was in the wrong.
Where possible, I will elect not to use DHL again and I strongly advise anyone else to do the same unless they want to face a wall of impenetrable customer service fronting a company whose sole service is clearly flawed.”
“I just had A DHL driver deliver 2 large boxes to me and can't believe how rude and arrogant he was!
As the 2 boxes were very large and he had a trolly,I asked if he could bring them in, another 2/3 feet with which he said, door delivery only. I was not asking him to bring it into the house, just to a covered area 2 feet away!
I asked again and ignoring me, he carried on walking away. I went to ask him his name with which he said, 'what do you want?' I asked why he ignored me and he said, make a complaint if you want. To top it off, when I told him that his service was terrible, he gestured be to 'f*** off'!
This kind of service with DHL?? What a let down!
I will be contacting the company I purchased the items from as you let them down too!!”

“I called DHL to collect a letter today since online booking is not available for the customers who have not registered with them.
The staff did asked many unnecessary questions and took me 11 minute to get book for the collecting, as the result the call cost me nearly £6 , I was charged by my mobile company 49p per minute with the number begin with 0844 ...
The service I was received from the make stuff is very bad, my booking ref is 17168394, so hopefully the manager in charge should be able to trace down and listen to the phone recording.”
“Disappointed
I got a text on Friday that my parcel will be delivered before end of day. I waited at home only to receive another text that they didn't meet me at home. I needed the parcel urgently even extra only to be disappointed. Look into your drivers, some are lairs”
“Terrible, first was three days late in picking up the parcel. The seller stayed in to await the pickup but they never showed. Customer service told the seller they would deliver on Monday to compensate. The parcel was not delivered Monday, in fact the tracking information showed that it would be delivered today (Friday). On Wednesday it arrived at a delivery facility three hours drive away from here, it was there for two days before departing in the early hours of this morning. It has still not arrived at the local delivery depot. A milk float could travel faster!! Called customer service and was told that because today's delivery truck has already departed then it will not likely be with us today, but will be with us next week!! This is totally unacceptable, has caused us a lot of grief as well as cost us a lot of time and money!! Any way of getting compensation??”
