reviews & complaints

We had a large bike bag (with bike inside) and 2 large brown boxes collected on April 11/22 ref: 137830424 for international delivery. The driver was let into the secure entrance for collection of these items. I now have a slip saying 2 of 3 items delivered. Which yes I have 2 brown boxes and NO bike bag/bike. We are now having to request CCTV of the driver collecting items as it appears we now need to prove theft by driver or DHL? How can you lose (lets pretend this is the case as I am still holding out hope) a 3rd large item such as this and then say 2 of 3 items delivered on tracking slip. Canadian side saying the third item has not made it to Canada and not looking like even left UK. No news from UK, just waiting.

Reading all the reviews makes me sick to the stomach that they just lose your stuff all the time and well, its just tough appears to be the response.

3299152135 has been in transit 38 days. Stuck in UK customs for a month. DHL could call customs daily and get the parcel back into the dhl system for a delivery but are not interested in helping there customers. 178 dollars was spent on shipping. Says express but whats express about 38 days. Imports dont reply either via email. Terrible service. Email [email protected]

Hi

My family sent a shipment of medicines from India to me in Sweden. The medicines were for my husband (Naeem Saqib). It was shipped on 30 July 2021 and on 4th August it reached Sweden and we were notified that the shipment cannot be delivered since outside medicines are not allowed in Sweden. They told us that the shipment will be sent back to the shipper. But the shipper never got back the packet and we waited for almost three months and we're told to wait for some more time.

Then we were told that the shipment is not traceable. So, I want to complaint against dhl for misplacing me packet.

Shipment I'd: 6421107114

I went to a boston location to drop off a package for delivery to a destination in santo domingo tracking 1161287120 I was told by agent that the package would be on time to final destination before the 21st day of april. This was a very important document going to the us embassy in santo domigo when my wife would receive. Because your company deception we loose our appointment for my children citizenship and our travel plans cancel. I do not apprecite the lack of profesionalism. I will report your company to better bussiness office here in boston. Im a very unhappy customer. I can be reach at your earliest convenience

All over the website DHL talks about privacy and verification, but an envelope with documents that can be used in identity theft sent via DHL with a customs checked sticker already on it was opened twice on route in the same country (USA) and even when making a compliant was told its their right to.. Opened not scanned for an envelope and paperwork - won't trust DHL ever again

My very important international document from China (tracking code is 2834972291) was delivered to the wrong address by the courier of DHL EXPRESS , and there was no telephone contact or doorbell before delivery, and the signature and other supporting documents of the delivery could not be provided.

In addition, DHL's staff had a bad attitude, hung up the customer consultation call for no reason, and did not try to find this document. I said that I could go with the courier to find it, but they were not willing, and directly said that they couldn't do anything. And don't give me any feedback.

My first request is to find this document (this is the most important!), and my second complaint is the irregular behavior of the courier who is responsible for it and the relevant customer service, and they should be punished.

We paid a premium price to ship package number: 8522205322 from Seattle to India starting March 30, 2022 and arriving in India April 4.

As soon as my payment was accepted by DHL the date of destination changed from April 4 to April 11 without cause.

Our package was expedited to a customer who is preparing for a large trade show April 22, 2022. The customer is very upset that DHL has not been responsive to the shipping agreement.

We received email today that the package will be returned to sender without cause. This entire shipping fiasco is entirely unacceptable. We are disputing all charges for this shipment and are filing a complaint with the BBB.

The order was to be shipped by DHL. Have not received the item yet. No tracking information is available. Time to time I saw the message indicating there is a logistic problem. Then the blue bar started to indicates the product has been delivered. However, there are no step by step progress in the transit of the item, I sent several messages to the company and my messages have not been read yet.

Open dispute does not work. There is a message saying buyer has confirmed delivery and I never received or confirmed.

I shipped 24 cartons from Germany to the USA between Feb 22 and Feb 24.

Twenty-two of the cartons arrived as of March 25. I tracked the two remaining cartons and they are still in Frankfurt Germany.

I would like to find out why the cartons are still in Germany?

Contact DHL E Commerce Solution because on their website stated my package was delivered but I open my door and I saw no package there. I am told after the driver mark it delivered that I should wait 24 - 48 hours before it gets delivered. This is a problem because I was told I would get the package on the date of 3/26/22 and it was marked delivered at 1:59 pm and nothing was at my doorstep. I don’t believe that a customer waiting for a package should have to wait after its marked delivered 24-48 hours later to receive the package/packages.

I have placed a complaint with one of your reps earlier this evening in regards to my broken fence. I now open my package which contains a wrought iron wreath hanger with a large bumbble bee. THE WING IS BROKEN OFF ONE SIDE and the part that goes over the door is BENT out of shape. This is what the driver use to smash my fence! Because he was not Happy he had to back up the long driveway that we share with our neighbor!

I live in Switzerland I had purchased an item from Spain to send as a gift to my Turkish relative.

The bill is in Turkish lira but DHL express Istanbul recognised it as English Sterling and charge me over that value.

The sender company shared a new bill to show them the bill is in Turkish lira but DHL express don't accept.

As a customer for a month I am trying to show them with my credit card bill and other files that they made a mistake. But now they are threating me with a law case.

I am angry right now. They ask me payment after payment for fees that they said I must pay for my package to be delivered. It's now 2weeks since then and until now that I finished paying for "fees",they can't even reply to my message for the updates of my parcel.

Poor management. Delivery took so long considering that this is an express delivery.

Overcharging 2 months later asking for more than they quoted.

Their measurements are incorrect and I have repeatedly asked them to send someone out to re weigh. See attached

In the meantime I took the very light art work to Postnet to re weigh it. DHL says it weights more than 9kg. This does not even reach 1kg. I contacted their complaints department, I don't think they even read their mail properly as all they did is explain its according to their measurements and did not address any of the questions or requests. Last time we ever use them!

I ordered a shipment from Japan to Romania on 31st December 2021 through DHL Express. My tracking number is 4823051645. My package left Japan on 5th January and arrived in Bucharest Romania on 7th January current year. DHL sent me an email asking me to fill in some documents for customs purposes. I fill in each document and I sent them back. After that, they asked me again to resend the documents. In one email, they reply to me attaching one of the documents already filled in by me, and they asked me to fill in again. I called them at least 20 times in the past two weeks and each time they told me a different story. One day someone confirmed me that the package will arrive next day and after 2 days when I called them back they told me that my package is in customs procedures. Today are already 3 weeks since my package arrived in the country and I have no clue about the delivery date. I attached photos with the tracking status of my shipment for details.

My Ford Focus Instrument Cluster has been rebuilt to be sent back to Canada from the UK Based company ECU Testing LTD through DHL. Despite already paying for return shipping through ECU Testing LTD, DHL is illegally trying to charge additional customs fee's despite ECU Testing LTD already paying for shipping.

Additionally other ties i have ordered items or sent something for repair to the United Kingdom Previously Royal Mail and other Package delivery service company's never once charged me additional customs fees and other imports after the fact of already paying for the actual service of shipping back. I want my car's component back or in addition to taking DHL to small claims court i will seek legal advice and inquire as to weather or not i can place criminal charges against DHL in addition to above mentioned actions

At 06:50pm a DHL Carrier pulled up to front desk at the Suburban Extended Stay in Spartanburg. I went outside to collect the package and the moment I did without warning, a camera flashed in my face. I do not mind my photo being taken as evidence that I received the package. what bothered me is how the employee went about. Train your employees properly on how to provide services, I wouldn't even be upset had he not been so nonchalant about the situation where he did not inform me he was going to have a camera flashed in my face. please see to it that your employees are properly trained and has respect for others. I would never flash a camera in someone's face without them knowing. it was very rude and the driver needs to be retrained in the aspect of representing the company.

Spent $23.25 on two items. Charged $15.35 shipping. Got a message from DHL that $23.25 was due for customs and duties. That's 72% of the cost of my items. Turns out the real duties and customs is $4 and DHL charges $19 to "do the paperwork on my behalf" (as per DHL customer assistance). Legal piracy. No other courier company does this.
If an internationally shipped item is handled by Fedex/UPS/mail it just gets handed to me- no extra fees.
