Bad service
I have sent a crate from Beijing to Berlin 3 weeks ago. I called DHL in China to make sure that they would deliver the crate to my office that is the back house second floor (and not only to the front door of the building) since I had a car accident and cannot carry anything. I also called DHL Berlin to ask the same information and both confirmed that I would receive the package directly at my office on the second floor.
They called to say that the package would arrive between 9 am and 12 am on Friday and again I made sure that it was going to be brought up since the only person in the office on that day was a small woman. I was told yes, it will be brought up.
The DHL man came and said he could not bring the crate up since it is too heavy and that she would have to find a solution herself. He left the crate outside in the back house. I called DHL and they said someone was going to come back and bring it up. At 12 the first woman had to leave so I paid someone else to come and wait. Every 2h I would call them to ask when they are coming. I was always told they would come but it might not be right away. I even said that two men should come since it real heavy but I was then told that if the driver managed to bring it to the front door alone that he will manage to bring it up 2 floors alone.
At 18 h the other woman had to go so I had to come in the office and wait. I called DHL to say I have dinner plans if the driver can arrive soon and I was told to wait and someone would come soon.
At 20h I called again and a very rude man said no one will come because the working day for the drivers ended at 18h and I have to find a solution myself.
To make an even longer story short I had to wait outside (at night) until I finally found 2 guys big enough to pay to bring the crate up. (I waited long since it was raining hard and bringing two strangers to my back office when I am alone is not smart). I was done with the hole thing it was 23h.
Since then I have called DHL 14 times and I always get the same answer someone will call you back today or tomorrow. It has now been 2 weeks. I also wrote 4 emails and not one single email reply. I guess they are waiting until I forget about it. Plus it cost money to complain by DHL. I have just calculated my Skype cost calling DHL and I am now at 30 euros. Here is another great way for them to make money.
Today is the first time in my life that I put something up in a forum as a complaint.
I am so tired of being ignored and I will not stop until I get fully reimbursed.

Duty paid without my consent
My name is Aparna and I was expecting a parcel from Italy through DHL (my birthday present) consisting of a mobile phone and 2 artificial jewellery. I was supposed to recieve my parcel on 04-08-10 and when i called the DHL customer care to enquire regarding the delivery time the customer care excecutive told me that i will have to pay a sum of Rs.10, 987/- as the duty charge for the parcel. on further enquiry he said that DHL has already paid the amount and i cannot collect my parcel until i repay them the full amount.
When i asked him why i wasn't told about this charge before DHL decided to pay it, he simply said that its not his department and i need to inform customer care ( which was him).
If i was informed about this huge duty before DHL decided to pay it on behalf of me, i would have asked them to sent it back to italy.
And my friend in italy was charged a bomb and was assured that i wouldnt have to pay nothing in India.
I feel that DHl is trying to exploit their clients by charging this absurd amount in the name of duty without even consulting the client.
And one more thing, on 03-08-10 (previous day) when i got a call from DHL to inform me that i will get my parcel the next day he mentioned that customs clearence is over and no duty has been charged.
Kindly help me
Thank you
Aparna

Terrible customer service
I got notice from an overseas company in China that my shipment left on Tuesday evening - and I received tracking
Then I tracked and tracked - to my utter shock and happiness, it was in American by Thursday evening! I was so excited!
I told my mother to stay at her home on Friday since it was being delivered there. And somehow, no on ever rang the doorbell or knocked loudly enough for someone to hear
So my husband called DHL and spoke with a rep - the rep said we could come pick up the package between 6 and 7 pm. HOWEVER, their hub is over an hour away and I don't get home from work until 6:40 pm. So we called again and spoke with a lady who said she could probably get it on a truck out that evening since their driver made the mistake. We would get a phone call from a manager called "Richard" within an hour.
An hour passes and no Richard calls. So once again, we call DHL - and we have to track Richard down. Low and behold - all the drivers have gone home. "so sorry - blah blah blah"
Then, he promises we are the FIRST delivery for Monday. I check the tracking all weekend and all morning today, Monday. I call my husband and tell him to contact DHL since there has been no update since the one from Friday saying "recipient not home". So he calls their customer service again. This time he spend 1.75 hours on the phone with some women who HALFWAY through, updates the website. Literally, right in front my eyes - while I'm at work I refresh the tracking page and one minute the latest news was:
18 Delivery attempted; recipient not home Houston, TX - USA 11:00
Then, three minutes later it says:
19 Awaiting collection by recipient as requested Houston, TX - USA 18:50
And then NOTHING else -
Today, they tell us that someone told them to hold my package instead of deliver it. WTF?!?! So at 2 pm we tell them to get it on a truck and deliver it now. Apparently that's out of the question... but why would the lady from Friday suggest putting it on a truck at 7pm on Friday, but it's out of the question at 2pm on Monday?
So now they tell me AGAIN, that we will be the first delivery tomorrow.
My main question is, why does it only take 2 days for a package to get from China to Houston, unharmed and no problem? And why does it take more than 2 days for a package to be delivered WITHIN Houston?
From now on, I will ALWAYS choose either UPS or FedEx - and the companies I buy from will offer those options
OR I'll just take my business elsewhere
This has been too miserable of an experience - I want no more of it!

Poor services
Vary poor team managent, Poor or laxity amongest staff to perfprm their duties.
We requested our suppliers to use Dhls for some spares that we required very urgently, as our machines where stand still we thought that DHL would be the best, It all started with theta they can not send some to collect payment For IDF as in the past one of their BIKES had got stollen when they went to collect some payment who's office was in first floor, then we where told that they required more documents as the invoice which was sent didn't have the full details, thus we requested our suppliers to send us a commercial invoice with the full details. this was on friday. The next thing on monday we send one of our staff members to deliver their payment for the IDF with the required commercial invoice which had all the details i, e. item wise price wise, which i had also emailed to them, after two weeks when we noticed that the goods had still not been cleared because of non Doc. (the itemized commercial Invoice.) we made a very good follow up from day to day that is when they got seriouse started to follow it up. By this time we had already lost three weeks of production, plus the dead lines to meet. In the future I can never ever request any body to use DHL for services in kenya.

Hidden fees, poor service
I got a phone message that DHL had a package for me. No phone number to call back, and the person that took the message wrote down the tracking number wrong. It took me three days of calling multiple numbers to find the person who had called me and why. No attempt from DHL to ever contact me again. And when I finally got through they wanted me to pay storage fees for the extra days and pay $20 to do customs paperwork. Isn't customs paperwork part of international shipping? All I was receiving was one textbook, which doesn't pay any sort of tax, but DHL had to find a way to get some money anyway. SCAM!
I've worked with most of the companies that do international shipping and NONE of the others have a problem delivering books right to your door.

Bad Impression "DHL"
May 26, 2010
Bad customer service
To whom it may concern.
I would like to lodge a complain towards DHL service staff who attend the phone call. I wanted to send a few gifts to Norway. On 26th May time 12:30pm - 1:30pm I call the DHL hotline to arrange the gifts to be collected at a specific location at 3pm-5pm. I declare that the items consist of 2 t-shirt, a pair of shoe and a perfume as well as a box of chocolate. And this staff name "Willie" working at No.1 Tai Seng Drive, tell me to use Jumbo box and he code me the price tec.. BUT he didnt tell me that perfume can't be send!!! I was at the location waiting for thE despatch to pick up my items for almost 3 hours.. Yes I was slightly earlyand I waited patiently.. But to my surprise, WHEN I CALL DHL HOTLINE @ 18002858888 AGAIN TO SEE IF THE DESPATCH IS REACHING. THAN ANOTHER PERSON ASK WHAT IS MY ITEM ALL OVER AGAIN..THEREFORE I DECLARE AS PER NORMAL.. WHEN THE STAFF KNOW THAT I AM SENDING PERFUME, SHE SAY SORRY MADAM LIQUID ITEM CAN'T BE SEND.. I WAS SO ANGRY CAUSE CAN U IMAGING WHEN U WAITED FOR ALMOST 3HOURS AND ONE OF THE ITEM CAN"T BE SEND HOW WILL YOU FEEL. THE MOST INTERESTING PART IS THE DESPATCH DIDNT BRING THE JUMBO BOX ALONG??? WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THAT?? DHL IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY AND THIS IS THE SERVICE THAT U PROVIDING?? I HAVE READ THROUGH ALL THE COMPLAIN CUSTOMERS GIVEN AND I WONDER WHAT DID DHL DO TO COMPENSATE CUSTOMER... The tone and the way that WILLIE talk to me is not acceptable. Yes he apologise for his over look and didnt tell me about the liquid (perfume) cant be send.. But I am so piss off therefore I accept no apology.. HE SAY SOMETHING TO MAKE ME WRITE THIS EMAIL TO DHL.. HE SAY ROSE, THE WORLD WONT STOP BECAUSE OF U.. DOES IT MEAN THAT DHL DONT TREASURE ME AS A CUSTOMER??? WELL I NEED A GOOD EXPLAINATION AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SOMEONE WHOM CAN REPLY THIS EMAIL. I WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY DUE TO THE ABOVE SENTENCE THAT HE MAKE. (NAME OF STAFF - WILLIE)
FROM : SOMEONE WHOM IS SUPER ANGRY & DISAPPOINTED OVER "DHL"

gross incompetence
Although i understand the anger of the other complaints on this board, as an ex-employee of dhl i would like to shed some light onto why the service is as bad as everybody is finding it!!! The drivers are very busy under a heavy workload ( unlawfully overweight at times ), management imposing financial fines on you if you are unable to locate an address and many parcels i came across even the recipient said" i would not have found it with this address on it" . Exceptionally busy roads at rush hours slowing you down considerably and with pre 9 and pre 10 deliveries a priority ( yes, if you are 1 minute late its a £30.00 fine) how many fines do you think you can absorb when you are paid £0.95 per delivery ??????, . The problem with dhl and its poor service is brain dead incompetent management who do nothing but pile more and more on to you and take great pleasure when you are unable to complete the deliveries hitting you with fines, LOADS OF FINES. When your parcel isnt delivered the driver will be fined and dhl rake in loads of money. If you are on the road delivering you then have the added problem of the collections you have made, they must be back at the depot by 1830 hrs so carrying on later is out of the question, if you miss the deadline, you got it, £30.00 fine per collection that is back late.DHL are a bunch of crooks who should be taken to court for ALL their working practises, im sure not many are legal!!!

Driver parking illegal
Deliveres drivers that work for dhl are rude and don't care where they park up, I work as a school crossing patrol warden (Lollipop Lady) for my local school, this driver parked across my school crossing, where I cross 3-10 years olds with there parents, I told them it was against the law to park there between the hours of 8-9 am and 3-4pm, the driver told me to shut up, they wouldn't be 5 minutes, this happen at 3.30pm this afternoon on Westeren Avenue in Pontefract, they also stop traffic, no one could go anyway. I had to report this incident to my boss and also the police, the police told me if they deliver again at these hours and park up where they shouldn't, I have to take a picture, get the license plate and press charges, I am disgusted that you employ people like this. If anything like this happens again I will sue the company. I also had about 20 disgusted parents and grand parents. I hope you can sort this out and get the driver responsible

A blouse which has been stuck in customs fr more than a month...
Hi,
I am an Indian citizen, we at our weddings wear a 3 piece outfit A friend of mine (from Australia) is getting married in a week. She had sent me the blouse in january for alteration.
U will find below a status report of DHL, the courier was sent in January 2010. March has started but the courier is till stuck.
I had given DHL all options, namely
1) courier it back to Australia (the sender),
2) charge me the custom duty,
3) give me 2 days n courier it back, or
4) talk to the custom officer whose number i have given to you n get it out.
The blouse was sent to me for alteration by a friend of mine from Australia. I had explained this to them hundreds of times, now her wedding is in a week and they still havent been able to release it. Now since the purpose is lost, i have asked them to keep the blouse. I cant believe that for 1 blouse it has taken them more than a month. In response we have decided to lodge a complaint from both sides for all the inconvenience caused to us.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL ASK ANYONE TO USE DHL... THE WORST SERVICE AND NEGLIGENT RESPONSE FROM ANY ONE AT DHL...
