Hello Damp Patch, we are very sorry that the delivery of your shipment has been delayed, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately, delivery can be delayed by external factors. Even though this is understandably very frustrating, we cannot always avoid it. We do our best to ensure that shipments are delivered as quickly as possible. If a shipment has been in transit for a longer period of time, we recommend that the sender initiates an investigation at dhl.de/nachforschungsauftrag.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our customer service at dhl.de/kontakt.

1 star is too much

A 1 is too much. Had three people on the line that did not (want to) speak any English, because I quote “you’re calling a German company”. As if there are no other nationalities that can send a package to Germany. I proceeded to read from google translate some simple questions and she said mockingly “I do not understand, please get someone that speaks German” 🙄 honestly, in our day and age to not be able to communicate a couple of simple things in English, and for such a big company not to have an English line, I find it not ok and not customer friendly at all.

Dear David

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

We are sorry that you had to wait much longer than expected for your item. Of course, every package from non-EU countries goes through customs. Unfortunately, we have no influence on the processing times there. However, if your parcel has not been delivered for ten days despite being released by customs, it is best to inform the sender so that they can initiate an investigation.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with any further assistance here on this platform. If you have any further questions about the process described, please contact DHL Paket Customer Service. You can find the contact details online at dhl.de/kontakt.

Kind regards, Deutsche Post DHL Customer Service

Dear Fiona Johnson

Thanks a lot for contacting us.

We are deeply sorry to hear that your Birthday card has never arrived. In case you have sent the card as registered letter with a tracking number you may of course initiate an investigation with the commissioned postal service in the country of origin of the item.

Unfortunately, in accordance with the Treaty of Bern of the Universal Postal Union, no investigation can be initiated for international mail items if they have been sent without online tracking.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Kind regards, Deutsche Post DHL Customer Service

Terrible customer service

Unfortunately they have lost a parcel. They say it is in customs but customs have provided evidence that Deutsche post has it. Called their INTERNATIONAL number only to get told they can only deal with matters in German. How can it be an international number if they don't allow you to speak French, English, or Spanish.

Emailed customer service to be told in a rather curt way that I had to wait. I can accept that the message may appear curt due to translation differences but I do believe they need to be more open and make it easier for customers to receive and for senders to track mail.

The international call centre helpline is really annoyed me as unfortunately I do not speak German just English, Spanish and oddly a bit of Punjabi/hindi (Bollywood movies). Any International phone number usually offers multiple language options. Ups offers English, Spanish, and French as does FedEx. Lufthansa offers a lot of language options and even the customs office offers multiple languages. Having to call Deutsche post at a small charge didn't annoy me it was the fact that three different people hung up when I asked for English and one transferred me to a colleague who then hung up.

Fortunately Deutsche post has taken so long in delivering my item that a claim is able to submitted with Royal Mail for non delivery and lost parcel.

Unacceptable!!! My package got lost 2 times. Courier never contacted me. I’ve got the status “Unsuccessful delivery attempt” for the second time even though I’m sure they didn’t even try to deliver it in the first place because I was home the whole time. Them bi££es better burn in hell. Inexcusable.

Parcel status that doesn’t correspond to reality

When I was in Poland on holiday, I had my eyesight tested, unfortunately they didn't manage to make my glasses before the holiday was over, so they sent them to Germany. The parcel had an updated status and at some point it was listed as "to be picked up at a point", but the courier did not leave any advice note with information where I could pick up the parcel. I called the hotline and they gave me the address of the package. So I went to this place, but the lady from the service said that this package was not there - it would be at the point the next day. The next day, the package changed its status to "the package could not be delivered and will be returned to the sender", and I didn't get any information about even an attempt to deliver it. When I contacted the hotline, I was informed that they didn’t know what happened to this package and why it was returned to the sender. This information is given by the courier on the package. I've wasted time and money on shipping and I'm without my glasses that I really need.

International registered mail - use a message in a bottle and the sea instead

International registered mail from UK to Berlin has not been delivered, and seems to be stuck on "has been processed in the mail centre". I had assistance from the post office worker to complete the customs form to ensure it was accurate and correct.

Once in the hands of Deutsche Post however, tracking became slower until it has now ground to a halt. Hopefully not lost but I don't have much faith.

Hard on the website to try and find out what has happened, had to wait a set number of days to try and submit an investigation... however once you complete the form and submit it, website is "undergoing maintenance".

Convenient that the one avenue to look into this is basically unusable. I should have just paid for economy as there is literally no difference! Or maybe I should have just thrown my letter into the Atlantic and may have got there by now

Pathetic Service by Deutsche Post

My friend from Munich sent my original documents on 31.07.2024 with tracking option. I haven't received the documents till today 08.08.2024. Now I am worried they might have lost my documents. Whenever I call their service center they say we have placed your complain in our system but they are not doing anything. They don't deserve a single star. If I would have the option to give negative stars believe me I would have done it. This company is providing pathetic service. Please avoid them if you have anyother option.

Horrible Experience

In the space of 1 year, this postal service has misplaced my most important documents (my Führungszeugnis on 05.2023, my Residence Permit on 09.2023 and their latest, my International Passport on 04.2024), creating a difficult situation for me and time wasted/money in having to reapply again.

The after-service provided is nothing to write about, totally unsatisfactory!

Great customer support experience made up for unsatisfactory service

I sent a flat key using Deutsche Post from Berlin to Dortmund which was lost in transit. I initially had no hope that it would be found given that the letter was torn open when delivered and it was not even delivered in my postbox but on the floor. `I was disappointed by both previous issues but decided to try to complain to customer service. To be honest, DP makes it very difficult to contact their customer service and normally you can only chat with their bot which is absolutely unuseful.

After some suffering, I was able to find the customer service email where I sent them a complaint detailing name of sender / recepient, addresses, tracking number, contents of letter, photo & video evidences ..etc.

They replied back with an apology letter with a link to a search request form that I had to fill in details about the lost item (key). The form was really comprehensive and detailed and luckily I had information about it like serial number, shape, color and manufacturer and even a photo for the other copy.

Today I received another letter containing the key and another apology. I know lots of people complain about missing items and giving DP 1-star rating and honestly I would recommend you sending valuable items per insured parcels.

However, I felt it was honest enough to give credit where due, even if I was a lucky one. Thanks Deutsche Post for the efforts in returning my key!
