They urgently needed to send a small (minimal by their standards) package of documents from the United States to Russia. We paid $ 156, the delivery time was set to 6 days. Tomorrow, according to their terms, it should be at the addressee, and the package is in the intermediate center in Portland in the United States. The employees have any complaints about the contents of the package. Inquiries are answered, we will inform you. Tomorrow turns a week, and they report everything. I am sorry that I have not previously read the reviews about the work of this company. I do not know how it will all end, the documents are urgent enough. But I know for sure, you can't trust DHL.
P.S. An hour ago, they said that they were looking for documents, they could not find it. The mood is at zero.
A few years ago, a friend had exactly the same story. No documents were found.
So welcome to DHL. You can be more specific, but the moderator will not miss.

They claimed I refused my package and that they would try again in ONE WEEK! I was home at the time t hey attempted to deliver and they did not even knock. Every single person I spoke to gave me a different answer and told me I had to wait 90+ minutes for a manager to call me back. And then I told it would be the next day that someone called me back. I still do not have my package.
Paid for next delivery as I would only be in on Saturday,
Got this message around 3 hours after the website was stuck telling me I would be the next stop.
"We're sorry but we haven't been able to deliver as our driver was unable to gain access to the delivery address"
As far as I can tell this means the driver couldn't be bothered delivering my parcel or didn't have the time.
Now I have to pick it up from a store as they won't redeliver on a Sunday.
Completely useless, I wish Halfords would use a different delivery service and I have never had a parcel on time with this company.
Avoid, you will regret DHL
DHL IS HORRIBLE. THEY DELIVERED SOMETHING A TUB TO MY HOUSE. THE DRIVER WAS ON HIS CELL PHONE THROUGH OUT THE DELIVERY. HE PULLED DOWN MY POWER LINES AND CABLE LINES FROM MY HOUSE. HE GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER TO HIS SUPERVISR TOLD ME TO CALL AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. SINCE THEN I TRIED TO REACH OUT TO DHL NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING. IM STUCK WITH THE BILL!
The delivery of the product will take atleast 2-3 months on top of the exorbitant customs charge they bill. The service lines are always busy but no one is actually on the other side. The service is horrible and they copy paste the same message over and over. It would be nice if they actually cared about the courier service instead of laundering money in random charges
DHL is the best example for what the 1960s will look like. Every process of their is manual. The phone lines are a gimmick but there is no actual service. And their charges for shipping the product is more than the cost of the product itself. Here's a clown hat DHL it looks good on you. Stop with this absolute foolery. People will find out one way or the other. 0 stars if possible
Lost count of times ive contacted dhl re this. Driver forged my name&never left pet food, lied&dhl do 0
I had mobile phone delivery scheduled for Tuesday and was home all day on that day, driver never ringed(I only saw missed call after) and i got a message we did not reach you. Supposedly they could not ring intercom (if they read simple 1 sentence instruction on intercom it would work). So I used their system to change to pickup at Dublin DHL service point hoping I can pickup EOD. Then just called them to confirm that, but they said it will be next day so we rescheduled for deliver on next day instead. Next day i check tracking and they sent the item back to Belfast, saying delivery attempts exceeded! (sic! One attempt so far). Called again they said they send it back to me but because it's in Belfast will be back in next 2 days, now it's day 3 and the last status update is yesterday arrival to Belfast. Called them and in the morning and they said they'll work on it, but nothing changed, and i doubt I will even get this tomorrow (fiday). I selected express
Delivery as I really needed device before holiday.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT MAKING MISTAKE THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SERRIES OF MISTAKES AT EVERY STEP OF PROCESS AND NOT FIXING THEM. AVOID!

This is the second time DHL has absolutely mis-delivered my package and when I call in, I get told someone is going to call back within a few hours but no one ever does. I called in 3 times and got the same answer and still no package and no call back. I'm in Canada. My name is Marshall. I live near Orangeville and DHL is absolutely incompetent.
Waited all day for a delivery and it was attempted at 7:30 at night. I was at my location but they just left and never delivered. Said location was closed but it was not. Lights on, cars in parking lot. REALLY? Called customer service and no one cal help. Everyone said I need to send a message to my manager and they will call you back. No wonder they no longer operate in the USA. Only deliver international deliveries. No idea how they are still in business.
DHL is a portal to Hades, a place where parcels, common sense and delivery service dies. I ordered merchandise from Europe, waived the mandatory signature requirement on the parcel and was told it would arrive Oct 15th. It didn't. It got stuck 45 minutes away and they want me to pick it up! I never agreed to that, the vendor never arranged for that…DHL did this all on their own. I'm not making a 90 minute round trip drive just because DHL can't manage to put the box on a truck. Oh…one of their customer service people promised delivery to me by Oct 20th and I even received an UPDATED DELIVERY email confirmation from them. Did it arrive? Oh no. It remains untouched in Santa Ana, CA and today I was told THEY COULD NOT DELIVER IT, I MUST PICK IT UP. Well guess what? I'm not doing that, I already paid for delivery. I'm filing a chargeback request for the merch, getting my money back and giving up on the order…I have more important things to do than appease a delivery courier that cannot deliver! Common sense is not common enough and DHL has apparently set the customer care bar so low you need a shovel to see it. Truly pathetic, they store freight rather than deliver it.
$19 processing fee to pay a $4 tax!? That's not fair! There should be a more reasonable system for this..
Ordered something online (food) that was suppose to be delivered within 3-4 days with DHL. It took a week before the package even arrived in my country and 2 days in a row the tracking site kept telling me "your package is expected to arrive today between 2pm-6pm" but as the day passes by it will keep on canceling the delivery and show "your delivery is on hold" on the tracking site.
When contacting the supplier (because thats what they tell you to do) they are not even able to track the package properly because DHL is not giving them any information.
Now idk about you but this "please wait another 2-3 days until package arrival" is kind of insane to me when it was already on its way to my house 2 times now!
There is no other way for me to contact them about this either, if theyd let me know where the package was I wouldve come to pick it up myself at this point.
The supplier was so kind to send me another batch just in case this one got lost, but seeing the state of things and how the second package will have to be delivered via DHL as well is concerning.
If you are a business owner, DO NOT use this shipping company. I am never buying again, simply because of the shipping company choice.
This is the worst delivery service I have ever had to deal with. I am only giving them a 1 because 0 is not an option. I have only had to deal with them twice and both times have been ridiculous. 1st time they could not find my home so a week later i still have no package. The driver did call and ask if there was an alternate place he could leave my package, so i had him take it to my sisters place of employment because he just happened to be right across the street. 3 days later, same driver had a package to deliver for my neighbor. Instead of trying to find her home, he took the package back to my sisters place of employment and asked if she could drop it off with my neighbor! Now i have another package out for delivery and its over a week late. I have been calling and cannot get any answers as to where my package is or when it might be delivered.
Worse Delivery Company I know. Never any tracking detail. Delivery date is always 2 to 3 weeks later. A simple delivery turns into a 3 weeks wait
Have $4000. 00 worth of uniforms that was suppose to be delivered on Wednesday 9/8/2021 and we are sitting here on Friday 9/10/2021 at 6:34 and still haven't got them. They have been saying they are coming since Wednesday and we have a football game Saturday! Worse delivery company ever! Will request to never use them ever again! We always get UPS or FedX and DHL some how got this delivery! This is a nightmare!
Normally i tell my suppliers not to ship by dhl because they are shocking to use but recently they have improved parcel arrived in-country at 6 am they told me it would be delivered the next day but it wasn't it was delivered same at at 1 pm. very good service dhl
The workers are lazy and don't ring the doorbell when delivering. There's no communication at all and the customer service is very difficult to get in contact with. Don't Use DHL!
Parcel shipped to me from St-Petersburg, Russia to Toronto, Canada. Parcel arrived in Toronto in 2 days. 10 days later, still waiting to receive! First they wanted a copy of the commercial invoice (already included by the shipper). Next they wanted a customs declaration for value (already provided by the shipper). Next they insisted that I pay all duties before delivery (other shippers who care about customer service usually delivery the parcel and send a invoice afterwards to collect duties). Now, my parcel is still in limbo with no delivery date specified. Do yourself a favour and use another shipper. This company has terrible, terrible customer service! G
Why is this company still in business? My package has been late for three days plus I call there company to locate my package they did and promise that it would be delivered the next day. Still no package. Why are local business still letting DHL handling there delivery services. Please someone needs to get this company in checked… plus I still never received my package. Angry customer
Answer: DHL always damaged my packages, I don't understand how they are still in business!
Answer: Difficult. Automated system. Rip off phone charges. Cost so far to track our parcel, possibly missing has been around £25 in phone charges. Still trying. They wont phone you back and yet it is their error.
Answer: Simply a NO useless unprofessional company skammers
Answer: Obviously the drivers are stealing customers packages.
