I honestly don´t understand how a service can only get worse with the years. I feel bad for the employees as im assuming the system they're working is terrible. People used to be able to get their packages, or at least some way to getting them afterwards. It has become a treasure hunt to get your own packages. Get your sh*t together, horrible.

Every single time I see i have a DHL packet im already anticipating either not receiving it or having to pick up my package from a post office. I cant count on my hand how many times they say they cannot find my house but every other to include Hermes has found my house. I wish there was more I could do to express how much DHL absolutely sucks here in germany.

Absolutely 1000% useless idiots

What the actual F are these guys doing?! Not their jobs, that's for sure. I ordered a package to Norway. Get a notification that the "parcel can be picked up". With absolutely no pick-up code or location anywhere. No email, nothing. Then a "click here for more information" that just sends you to a FAQ with no help at all. Never encountered a more useless effing company. Would be best for everyone if they went out of business, I think.

No tracking updates

It got delivered but the tracking status does not go beyond "Order data transmitted electronically.". Even after delivery. Hilarious! Previously, and before receiving and because the status remained the same, I had contacted the vendor demanding an update and he told me that's dhl.de way. XD . It wasn't the vendor's fault, which makes it even more frustrating. you're loosing time and patience and knocking the wrong doors. What is this nonsense ?

I don't get it. Why have a status page when you don't update it ? Beats me ... It's their job to keep us updated ! Job not done = bad review.

Always same excuse and terrible service

Always same lie: you were not at home! They say no one's home without any delivery attempt and they deliver to a post office of their choosing, not the closest one. There is no paper in my post box or apartment that shows the delivery guy was here and couldn't find me. Terrible service!

The most unreliable delivery service in Germany

They don't give a damn about what we say, and for my last four deliveries, three of them were way past due dates. And they don't even care cause the competitors are also bunch horseshits, so they can change any amount of money in the name of responsible delivery. I think there should be some investigation done by the consumer forum or whatever, if there is any.

Failed delivery, but you can't contact them to correct it!

DHL tried to deliver my parcel but got the wrong address. I can forgive a mistake, but what is infuriating is not being able to call them to tell them where to properly deliver it. No doubt they will try again tomorrow and get the wrong address again. Why don't they have real people to answer the phones?

They are not a delivery company. They never deliver.

They are not a delivery company. They never actually come to your door. They always drop them off in a different location - no matter if you specified a method, location, or requirement for the delivery. They are the most incompetent company in the world as far as I am concerned.

They basically stole about $70 from me

They took my international package and sent it back to my home address without explanation. I spent several hours writing and calling them. Then I was told I didn't follow customs law (which was a lie). In the end all I got was virtually: "We're not going to tell you what exactly you did wrong, we will ignore you from now on.".

Worst company ever!!!

Worst shipping company ever

Worst shipping company ever, i will no longer buy from companies that send via DHL and will explicitly ask if they do work with them. Currently cancelling a galaxus order because of this. It has single handedly, ruined more moments of my existence, than any other company.

Product returned without explanation

Thay returned my shipment even when it was sent to DHL pick up point

The shipment has been delivered directly from the parcel center to the business customer.
16.10.2026, 03:38

I came to the pick up points because they said that the shipment was there to pick up. I was there the same day as they said the delivery came.

Shipment number : 00340434719135336662

It’s very difficult to get a human contact with them.

The shop I bought it from told me to buy it again. But they can’t guarantee that it will arrive if I use DHL.

The company has been found to be guilty…

The company has been found to be guilty of malpractice and is guilty of the misappropriation of funds belonging to the customer for transport purposes. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the company is unable to track the package.
It is evident that there is a prevalence of dishonest behaviour among DHL drivers in Berlin Germany.

Terribly incompetent company that takes…

Terribly incompetent company that takes your money for the transport, but subsequently cannot track the package. Their people at the drop-off point 545 in Harrislee are unable to perform their very simple task and attach the transport number so that the package can subsequently be tracked. Make sure to find another company, there is a reason why their rating is so poor.

Diese Firma ist absolut inkompetent. Sie kassiert zwar das Geld für den Transport, kann das Paket aber anschließend nicht nachverfolgen. Die Mitarbeiter am Abgabeort 545 in Harrislee sind nicht in der Lage, ihre einfachste Aufgabe zu erfüllen und die Sendungsnummer anzubringen, sodass das Paket nicht nachverfolgt werden kann. Suchen Sie sich unbedingt eine andere Firma – das ist einer der Gründe für die schlechte Bewertung.
