Messaged me to book one of two times…

Messaged me to book one of two times (middle of the day of course) in the coming days or visit their logistics center thirty minutes away while there's a dhl pickup store down the road. If I don't they claim they will send the package back or charge me for storage.
So I stay home from work. They don't show up. Don't call. Nothing. Instead I get an sms after their phone lines are closed telling me to fall them to reschedule. So waiting another three days now I guess and possibly staying home from work another day. Can customers invoice you for their time like you want to invoice me for storage?

I pity the delivery people supposed to deliver more packages than is doable and the support people who have to deal with upset customers. Please do better by everyone.

Sent a package via DHL EXPRESS

Sent a package via DHL EXPRESS, they said it should take 1-2 days. It's been 9 days and it still not delivered. 1* for customer service.

We never deliver on weekends

The parcel was delivered by express in three days from the Netherlands to Borlange (Sweden), so that it could be stored in a warehouse in Sweden for 5 days before being delivered to me. Genius!

DHL is a company where low-skilled postmen work, and drivers who feel unsafe on the road in a traffic jam!!!!

DHL cancelled the delivery of parcel 1330724441 because the driver thinks that driving in a traffic jam on the road is dangerous. At the same time, the parcel had the status "delivered" all day long. At the end of the day, after my question: when will the delivery be, the DHL representative Julie M-ll, said that the delivery was during the day. And the driver suddenly decided not to deliver the parcel, since the driver was in danger on the road all day. Taxis drive, buses, even trams drive, I'm not even talking about ordinary people who drive normally in traffic jams on the roads. But apparently the DHL driver was in a traffic jam after the holidays, since DHL made December 31 a day off. Perhaps your driver didn't realize that December 31 and January 1 were days off? Next year, give yourself ten days off at once, so as not to invent a "danger" when driving on the roads in traffic jams on January 2. Everyone understood what a "danger" the DHL driver was in on January 2.

Good day.

DHL Express Customer Service is a bunch of low-competence people. I have had contact with them several times, they write standard formal responses. I have written complaints many times to which your low-qualified service has still not given me official responses. It is better to use regular mail services than to deal with DHL Express. In addition to the fact that you wrote a response almost a month later, even now you are not doing anything specific to correct the situation and do not intend to do so. I do not recommend anyone to use DHL Express services.

All the best.

Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Avoid if possible.
DHL LIED about attempting to deliver a parcel today.
They made NO attempt to deliver (I was in all day). And LYING about that has only made their incompetence worse.

DHL, fix your company.

Oh boy, here we go again, another bad review from me with another courier service.

As mentioned before, I attempt to not write negative reviews but Jesus, DHL eCommerce has seriously disappointed me. I had recently ordered a gaming chair from John Lewis, but obviously this chair had to be delivered through DHL due to John Lewis “Delivery in 5 days from our approved supplier.” Forced option.

Let me tell you, I’ve not had an easy week, first off, I hear my parcel is finally at the delivery depot, and originally meant to come on Wednesday (04/12/24) but I had to re-arrange delivery due to me not being home as it requires a mandatory signature. Thursday comes by and I see, “We’re sorry but the delivery of your shipment has been delayed. We expect to deliver on the next working day.” Not only was I annoyed but also pissed to the fact it was my day off but just to learn my parcel is not coming.

I then again, re-arranged it for Friday, today, guess what? Same message, I was absolutely appalled as I had to take today off to ensure I was home to collect a parcel that’s STILL not coming.

I got tired and sent it to a collection depot at this point, but aside from all of this, steer FAR AWAY from this courier service, even their customer service is appalling.

Better to avoid them

Always something happens. Or the app doesn’t work when I have to update something, or nobody calls the door and say that they did, or they forget to drop the letter with code to pick your post up on the packstation. 50% that you’ll meet an issue with them.

Express deliery stopped/deviated in…

Express deliery stopped/deviated in Duesseldorf. The tracking is so bad, it lags and sometimes takes multiple refreshes and it still doesn't show up. Update, that's all I need. If the package is unable to arrive today then update it immediately so I don't sit here all day to wait for a package.

Not to mention how vague the ETA is, I had to google up what ''end of the day'' delivery meant for DHL. I got different replies ranging from 5PM up to 10PM. Well, I doubt it is coming tonight since it's already 9:30PM and the package just got updated being in Germany 20 minutes ago. That's not even within my country. WHY IS THE MULTI BILLIONARE REVENUE COMPANY THATS BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG, STILL. ASS. I'd rather relive highschool seven times over than to choose DHL again.

DHL Express Sweden is the wrongest…

DHL Express Sweden is the wrongest Place to send packets through. They do not keep records of pacels sent through them. My Items were misplaced and I was told they could not trace the parcel as the tracking details have been removed from their system and no one is to be held accountable. I regret using them.

Worst delivery service ever

Waiting more than 2 weeks to receive a package within Sweden but they advertise that they deliver within 2-3 days, according to their tracking information the package is waiting more than 7 days at one of the intermediate stations.
