Service point and dishonesty drivers

I received a message about a delivery from DHL via WhatsApp. At no point did I give permission to be contacted this way, and it wasn’t sent to my official WhatsApp account.
The second issue was with their website. I was repeatedly asked to select a service point location for my delivery, but the system simply wouldn’t work. It was only later, after the driver falsely claimed they had been to my property and couldn’t deliver because I wasn’t home, that I understood why. My package was not eligible for delivery to a service point. It’s disappointing that DHL failed to recognise this, for certain packages.
I also know the driver did not attempt to contact my home. We have a digital telecom door system connected to a mobile phone. If someone calls and we’re not home, it registers as a missed call. There were no calls recorded that day. While it’s possible someone could have let them in. On previous occasions, I’ve stayed home expecting a DHL delivery, only to receive a message saying the package had been taken to a service point instead. This may be quicker and more convenient for drivers, but if you’ve paid for door-to-door delivery, that’s the service you should receive.
DHL needs to improve how they track delivery attempts and provide proper proof that a genuine attempt was made.

Unfathomably bad

Unfathomably bad. I received a notification of a vital delivery (passport) via WhatsApp (!?) on a national holiday Friday, after closing time.
The delivery is due anytime on Monday the whole day. No "window". Of course I'm not home that day. I try contacting DHL (The website is scrambled garbage on a mobile) but they're closed until Monday !

The only reroute option is via Malmö (a 3hr round trip) despite there being 5+ DHL service points in my city.
DHL customer services is closed until Monday.
Stressful and infuriating.

Oh my lord, HOW has such a huge logistics company become so bad?

Excellence never delivered

Information to DHL Domestic Consignment ID 8456540833
Have been told my item was coming for the last 2 days, have waited over 48 hours now. It has cost me time and money.
To DHL do not tell me you are sorry, Because you're not
DO not say "We take your feedback seriously so that this can be reviewed and improved", because DHL doesn't.
Do not ask me to contact DHL and explain the problem, because DHL should know the problem, do they look at their own tracking.
DHL are an amateur outfit not fit for purpose.
To anyone thinking of using DHL, stay safe, stay well away.
I bet DHL have a good laugh at all the 1-star comments on Trustpilot

Dear Raymond,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I fully understand the disappointment when we do not meet expectations and I sincerely regret how this has affected your trust in us — especially that you feel feedback is not taken seriously by us. We truly value customer feedback and see it as an essential part of improving our service. While our goal is always to deliver a reliable and positive customer experience, we are aware that we do not always succeed and it is important for us to learn when that happens.

I am grateful that you took the time to share the shipment number, which gave me the opportunity to look more closely into what happened in this case. I fully respect if you prefer not to be contacted; however, it would mean a great deal to us if I could reach out to you . I will send a separate message here via Trustpilot and hope you will consider replying with your contact details.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards

Unreliable Opening Times – Poor Experience

The listed opening hours for Saturday indicate 10:00–18:30. However, I visited the store twice—once around 10:00 AM and again at 10:30 AM—and it was still closed on both occasions. This was very frustrating and inconvenient. The store should ensure that its published hours are accurate and that it opens on time. Overall, a very poor experience.

Say they tried delivering while they did not

Used to be a great service, but now this is what happens: I get a notification that a parcel will be delivered on a certain day so I sit home the whole day. In the evening I get a message that ‘the customer was not home so we couldn’t deliver’. I was home, and nobody arrived at my door.
‘We therefore leave the package at a service point where you can pick up’, and they leave at a point that’s quite far away from my home and the package is a large box inconvenient to carry. There is however available a service point much closer to my home, but they choose to leave it at a more inconvenient spot.

Dear Nat,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
I’m very sorry to hear about the inconvenience you have experienced with this delivery. I understand how frustrating it is to stay at home expecting a delivery and then receive a notification stating that the recipient was not available. This is certainly not the service we aim to provide and I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Your feedback is important to us and to better understand what happened, I would need some additional information from you so we can look into the matter further. I will send you a separate message here via Trustpilot and I would appreciate it if you could respond with the shipment number and your contact details.

I look forward to hearing back from you with more information!

'Express' is not even a metaphor

So I was supposed to receive a package handled by DHL " Express" from a close city about 2-3h Drive.
Package was dropped at the service Point on the 29th , days before the Easter holidays.

Days ,weeks later I find out they took my package on a vacation to Germany while I am here in Sweden, package is now having a blast since it won't even come today( 7th even thou " a supervisor made a note and said we will look into it and lied straight to my face and gave me false information.

I see so much similarities between DHL and the IOF.

And I'll say it again: if they ask you to scan your driver's license for identification when u want to pick up a package from a delivery Box, just ask any AI chat to generate barcode and it'll open that box.

Professional help quick in tangeled situations

I have had an issue with international delivery but customer service helped me to solve it fast and professionally. The support provided was efficient, responsive, and handled with a high level of professionalism throughout the interaction.

In particular, I appreciated the clear communication and the willingness to address concerns promptly. This level of service not only resolved the issue effectively but also contributed to a very positive overall experience.

Really appreciate for help and assistance! Thanks Elin!

If you enjoy waiting for packages that…

If you enjoy waiting for packages that never arrive on time and tracking updates that make no sense, DHL is the perfect delivery company for you. “Out for delivery” apparently means “maybe sometime in the next few days.”

For a global logistics company, the lack of reliability is honestly embarrassing. Consistently late deliveries, poor communication, and zero accountability. Avoid if you can.

Home delivery is a joke

"We tried to deliver ... but nobody was at home"

Liars, you didn't even try. I was at home, I rearranged my entire day to be at home, keeping my phone nearby waiting for a call or message. How naïve. Now I have a choice between throwing another day out and schlepping to a service point in the middle of nowhere for pickup.

I'd be more understanding if the message was honest: "we're having too many packages today, we couldn't deliver yours". Lying just adds insult to injury.

I don't even blame the courier who is probably chronically stressed out, underpaid, and overworked. Don't bother saying you "apologize for the inconvenience", maybe give your workers better conditions so that they're less stressed out and more motivated.

This is the worst company I had ever to do !
Always problems , always lies in the phone with them , they make you look stupid , I was waiting for document in my home address, paid bunch of money for this and they left the document at a service point 22 km away from my address, they doesn't care if you have something to go and pick it up and the worse the agent on the phone told me that I have chosen the document to be sent at the service point , was trying to be smart but he looked so stupid !!
I wish I will have never to do with them again !!

Completely unreliable

I have 3 different packages from 3 different senders. Who unfortunatly choose to use DHL. All packages are very late, with zero tracking updates.
No response from customer service.

Its cute that I get an answer here, asking for the same details I have already provided to customer service.

Behold my surprise, Patrik here lied about contacting me again

The worst delivery service I've ever dealt with.
My package was supposed to be delivered to my home (or at least this is what I understood). But I was surprised that they already chose a pick up point without giving me the option to change it.
I don't care what they agreed with the supplier. I had to pick that heavy package and walk with it for about half a kilometer since I didn't have a car. And I lost my gloves while carrying the package.
