Avoid

Oh well I see I'm not the first to have a bad experience. Waiting for a delivery. Saw him drive past my house. Park his van. Never even got out of it. Drove off. 2 minutes late I got an email to say my parcel wasn't being delivered because they couldn't access the property.
Well. No. You have to actually get out of the van & deliver it. That's what you get paid for.
Would definitely avoid DHL & use any other delivery company if you want an actual delivery!

Hi Sharon,

I’m sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to see that a delivery attempt was registered when you feel that no attempt was made.

I would like to look into what happened and investigate this further. To do so, I need your shipment number and contact details. I will send you a separate private message where you can provide this information.

Kind regards

Awful delivery service

I’m have to get Medical supplies from a company called Fittleworth, they changed from Dpd to Dhl for their deliveries . I have had four deliveries by Dhl and not one has turned up first time at my address they keep delivering them to other addresses . I live on a Residential Site in Essex SS8 0 . They send photos of another house , how can you not deliver to the correct post code. If i could have given a 0 i would . I do hope Fittleworth go back to Dpd.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear about your experience, especially as these deliveries contain important medical supplies. We completely understand how concerning and frustrating it must be when deliveries are repeatedly sent to the wrong address.

Having four deliveries incorrectly delivered is clearly not acceptable, and we understand why this has affected your confidence in our service. We also appreciate your concern that the delivery photos showed a different property, despite the shipment being addressed to your correct postcode and address.

We would like the opportunity to investigate this further. If you contact our Customer Service team with the shipment details, we can review the delivery history and raise the matter with the relevant depot and delivery team.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our service.

Best regards

You've left my parcel at a local shop but haven't given me a pick up code. So although I've gone there with id and proof of address the shop owner will not let me have the item. I've also tried to contact you on your website but you are impossible to contact

Your feedback is important to us, and I would like the opportunity to look into what happened in more detail. I will send you a separate message here via Trustpilot, and I would appreciate it if you could reply with your shipment number and contact details.

Unreliable and uncommunicative

Ordered a book from the USA and it arrived at a DHL depot 5 days ago. Everyday I get an email saying it is due to be delivry that day. It never is. The tracking website shows it due to be delivered but then says expect delivery on Friday 17 July. Which is it. I have messaged their so called customer service twice for clarification but no reply. An utterly useless and unreliable service. Since I wrote this review, the item got delivered by EVRi!!!!
One of the problems is that DHL seem to have a number of different businesses but I have written this review as the logo was right. As requested I have passed on more details to DHL and also emailed their CEO.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be to receive daily delivery notifications, only for the shipment not to arrive as advised. We also understand the confusion caused by conflicting delivery information in the tracking updates.

Clear and accurate tracking information is important, and we appreciate that repeated changes to the expected delivery date can be disappointing and inconvenient. We also regret that you did not receive a response to your customer service inquiries when you were seeking clarification.

Your feedback is important to us, and I would like the opportunity to look into what happened in more detail. I will send you a separate message here via Trustpilot, and I would appreciate it if you could reply with your shipment number and contact details.

4 days late so far deliverying a parcel no tracking information online except a couple of sparadic once every now and then ( the parcel was paid to be delivered within 24 hours) no reply to emails online very unprofessional and just get a automated response when you ring them.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. A delay of several days, especially for a shipment that was expected to be delivered within 24 hours, is understandably disappointing. We also regret that the tracking information did not provide the updates you expected and that you were unable to receive a timely response to your enquiries.

This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We take feedback like yours seriously, as it helps us identify where improvements are needed in both our communication and delivery processes.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and regret that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

Can’t follow simple instructions

Had a parcel due to be delivered within an hour slot, which I was due to wait in for, driver came 2.5 hours earlier than the scheduled delivery time while I wasn’t in, didn’t leave a calling card, absolutely no way of getting in touch with the driver or DHL, was an important package I needed for business , they’ve automatically rearranged delivery 3 days after I needed for. Absolutely joke and a waste of time

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with your delivery.

I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to plan around a scheduled one-hour delivery window, only for the driver to arrive 2.5 hours earlier when you were not available. I also appreciate how disappointing it is when an important business shipment cannot be delivered as expected and the next available delivery date is several days later.

I regret that you were unable to reach either the driver or our customer service for assistance at the time, and that no calling card was left. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. As mentioned, it is important to our continuous improvement efforts, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I received a delivery time for today

I received a delivery time for today. Between 13:00 and 15:00. I said I was out at 14:00 so it was no use after then. 15:10 attempted delivery - no-one home. This was above the text saying I was going out at 14:00. Absolutely useless. Complete waste of time!

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by this delivery experience.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a delivery window of 13:00–15:00, clearly inform us that you would be unavailable after 14:00, and then have the delivery attempt made at 15:10.

Providing accurate delivery information and taking customer instructions into account are important to us, and we regret that this was not your experience on this occasion.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to improve our service. Should you wish to discuss the shipment further, please feel free to contact our customer service team with your shipment details.

am very disappointed with the delivery…

am very disappointed with the delivery service.

Yesterday, I was at home and received a message saying that DHL had attempted to deliver my parcel, but that I was not home. This is not correct. I was home at the time, and I was even looking outside around the same time I received the message. There was no DHL vehicle and no one came to my door.

It is frustrating to receive a failed delivery notification when no real delivery attempt was made. Please investigate this and make sure my parcel is delivered properly.

Rip off

I ordered a parcel yesterday morning, 30th June and paid almost twice as much for next day delivery 1st July (today)
DHL just informed me they'll be delivering by end of day tomorrow (2ndJuly)
That's NOT next day delivery. I could've paid the lower price and received my parcel at the same time. Rip off.

Pls pls Emma read customs email first mine advise and then send them an template but one advise do your templates bit personolised. I understand reading can be difficult sometimes if not always but without reading and sending unpersonolised emails to your customers can make them even more angry. Ow maybe also handy advice if your customers reply to your email maybe you should reply to them handy advise in the future. If I could give a 0 I would what a ..
Hole company. Your drivers are clever but not clever enough when making a picture of damaged item what has been delivered what we ordered from Dunelm and he is clever to hand over the rug with damaged side on his side so we couldn't see it and before we noticed he was already gone but thank god he took a nice pic with the damage. Be careful people this is how DHL works these days. Ow pls don't come with bla bla take contact BS you can't even reply to me when I ask twice for where you can read emails.

EDIT@Dem ringde upp & fixade så jag fick paketet nu, om än väldigt mörbultat+tejpat. Återkommer ikväll väl hemma om innehållet är intakt & komplett.

It's been over 1 month, and you still haven't delivered?
a week or 2 ago you sent the package to oskarshamn for a change, now its back in Eskilstuna again for over a week.
DHL is a scam company, have contacted them like 5 times through mail. Nothing has changed. Called as well & that was almost even less help. They just put in the order tracking id on the same page you can do & said idk:
