When original tracking is expected on a certain date today 7/23/2025 and then changed it is a very bad look on the company logistics and needs to be corrected.

Package was expected today 7/14/2025 and said it was out for delivery at 10:14 am. I have still not received my order. Oder number from EZcontcts is 4995196 and says package still in transit. What happened to DHL delivery? So bad these days

Dear Jo,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm truly sorry that your package was delivered to another town, and that this caused inconvenience. This is certainly not the experience we want you to have.

We would really appreciate it if you could contact our Customer Service by phone at +46 771 345 345, Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 6 PM, so we can look into what went wrong. Thank you in advance!

The collection point is inconvenient…

The collection point is inconvenient for my address. Suggest you change all collections for Sorunda to Spångbro ICA. I have no reason ever to visit Stora Vika which is not en route from my address to anywhere. Also, there was no possibility to select the delivery point on the website of the company I ordered through. Which means I have paid 359 SEK to have a packet delivered to a very inconvenient address, instead of direct to the door, which us what I wanted.

Dear Tim,

Thank you for your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that your parcel was delivered to an inconvenient collection point. I totally get how frustrating this must be for you, especially since your expectation was that we would deliver to your door.

I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused, and we’re grateful that you took the time to share your experience.

This could be due to various reasons, and I would appreciate getting some more information from you. I’m sending a separate message and hope you’ll get back to me with the shipment number and your contact details. Thank you in advance!

Phone queue torture!

I don't understand this companies "customer service" service. I have to send a package as a customer but I don't understand the send packages page they have.

They didn't reply to my email so I had to call their customer service. And its 92 people before me in the line! But the insane thing is, DHL doesn't have the alternative where you choose to let them call you when its your turn! Like WTF?!

It gets worse. While you wait in line this happens on a loop: Several phone signals goes, an automatic voice pops up and states many are before you and then states which number in the queue you have now and then it drones on an automatic message about "Do you know you can check your package number etc etc". So this is constantly an a loop! Its like its not enough they let you wait in a phone queue, they have to torture you on a loop aswell. So I had to hang up and probably thats why they aim for with this.

Great way to let down customer so they turn to their competitors instead for sending their packages.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you needed to wait in line for so long. We are offering callback between 08-14.30, after that you need to wait in line. Right now we are experiencing higher volumes than we have expected and are sorry that this is affecting our waiting times and you as a customer.

I will send you a personal message where you can add you email address and your shipment number and I will do my best to help you.

Worst experience that I've ever had getting a shipment anywhere in the world.

Takes ages to get a hold of anyone in customer service, fetching a QR code to let someone else pickup up a shipment doesn't work and no cooperation to help people get their package handed over in an urgency because computer says no

Hi Arnar,

Thank you for contacting us. I am really sorry about your recent experience with us, it's obvious that we have fallen short on this occasion.

We are experiencing record-high volumes, beyond our expectations, which have been challenging for us to manage, this may be the reason why it's taking a bit longer than normal to reach us.

I'm going to send you a seperate message where I hope you can provide the tracking number and your contact details so I can further investigate your situation.

Terrible customer support and no responsibility

DHL lost my package after it arrived at Arlanda. Despite multiple attempts to get help, they provided no useful information. Communication was poor and frustrating — they kept shifting responsibility between departments and even tried to blame me. I am extremely disappointed with the way this case was handled.

Updated on the 03.07.2025:
I received a message on Trustpilot from Patrik at DHL Freight, who mentioned that a separate message would be sent to me regarding an investigation of my lost package. I have not received any such follow-up, so I am providing the necessary information here:
Tracking number: JD014600012164497320
The package has been missing for more than three weeks, and I would appreciate a formal investigation and clarification of DHL’s responsibility.

Why did I pay you to deliver something?

Why did I pay you to deliver something, only to have you make the recipient trek to the opposite side of the city to collect it instead? It was supposed to be a nice surprise present, not a task to add to her workload. You didn't even TRY to deliver it to her address. What do you think your job is?

DON'T USE DHL!

DON'T USE DHL!
A package to us arrived completely torn up. The packaging was new and the content was packed according to DHL standards. The value of the content was about 500€ and arrived irreparably broken. After sending full documentation DHL has repeatedly in unprofessional ways denied damage compensation.
The contact we had with DHL was rude with even yelling at us on the phone. We have been on this case for 3 weeks, have to use a lawyer to receive the damage compensation and are now in a court process against DHL. So far it has costed us a lot of time and lawyer costs.

I received an SMS that my package has arrived with a link

I received an SMS that my package has arrived with a link to use the iBoxen app. There is no iBoxen box at the location and customer service confirmed it. Only a DHL box. For which I never received a code for. DHL customer support sent me to check with the staff at the location and they bounced me back to DHL customer support and come back later. I've went back 4 times now. Ridiculous honestly. Wasting people's time. Still haven't picked up my package.

Horrible at keeping delivery times, OK customer service

My experience has been very bad regarding DHL and I always try to pick other companies but sadly some sites don’t allow choosing delivery method.

Just last week I bought 2 things that ended up delivered by DHL. One of them was delayed 4 times before finally being sent to a service point, the excuse was that the terminal experiences delays because of overload, which isn’t something that should happen, hire more workers then if it’s an issue, there’s not even anything special like christmas, black friday or similar things happening right now so there’s no excuse for such delays.

Maybe that was an one-off issue, right? No, my next package was supposed to be delivered today but now I find out it has supposedly been ”wrongly sorted” and requires at least another day to get here. I REALLY NEEDED that package today. Even contacted them yesterday about it since it suddenly showed up in the wrong location, but they claimed it was just the shipping information that was wrong and that it was never in the previous terminal in the first place and that this other terminal was the mid-way stop and that it would be in the correct place that evening, which didn’t happen.

Meanwhile, postnord takes at MOST 1-2 days to deliver in country, even internationally they get it here in 2-3 days. Instabox delivers in 1 day, bring in 1-2 days, schenker in 1-2 days. Never any delays for dozens of packages. Basically only UPS is up there in bad delivery in sweden.

The customer service is easy enough to reach and nice enough but no matter how much they help give information about what happened it doesn’t solve that it happened. But I’ll knock it up to 2 stars that customer service is reachable.

This delivery company is useless

This delivery company is useless. They are extremely rigid with delivery times, but refuse to specify a more exact time when they will arive, and are not flexible at all. At the same time they keep changing the delivery time with one days notice. I called customer service to reschedule my delivery time, but was told there is no way of allowing a home delivery to be made during daytime, only night time available according to the so called customer service, which was also rude and provided absolutely zero help. If I had a choice in the matter I would never use DHL's "services" again.

Hello Sophie,

I apologize that your delivery has not been carried out according to your expectations. It is not clear what type of Home Delivery you purchased or were recommended by the company you shopped with, but the terms of delivery should be stated regardless so that you, as the recipient, know what options are available. If you have not yet received your delivery, I ask you to contact customer service again for assistance.

DHL’s service quality has declined dramatically over the years

I’ve been using DHL Express for over fifteen years and have witnessed a clear decline in their service quality. DHL was once known for reliable and timely deliveries, but lately, missed delivery times and poor communication have become the norm. Packages are often delayed without explanation, and customer service offers little help or accountability. It’s clear that DHL now prioritizes profitability over quality, resulting in a service that no longer lives up to its previous reputation. Disappointing and frustrating — sad to see a once-reliable company fall so far.
