Delivery a day earlier than expected I was out so needed to update on where to leave parcel. Concern as this cancelled my cover if item went missing. Appreciate early delivery though.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I had to arrange my parcel to be delivered at my local post office as the first attempt to deliver wasn’t my address. I did get my parcel the following day so happy thank you.

The parcel was safely delivered but a day late with your deliverer not showing up the first time. The first planned delivery would have been great timing for us. We were in and tracked the par... See more

Excellent service

Excellent service. I was able to amend the delivery date to suit me, and on the day, I was given a 2 hour time slot and it was delivered in that time.

Impressive delivery performance

I was kept informed of the progress of this order from the minute it left the store in Iceland. The package was delivered, undamaged and on time by a friendly, polite driver. Very quick from shop to me, I'm impressed.

The driver changed his route and was late, when the app said 6 stops away it took him more than 2h to reach the area. Not a big problem, however my package was marked as undeliverable, due to customer not being home. I was home waiting for it, so when I contacted customer service they checked and the driver was not even at my house when he marked this in the app

Dear Alina Grapini,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear about the level of service which has been exhibited during this process. Your frustration with the failed delivery notification is completely valid, especially as the attempt wasn't made to the correct address.

Unfortunately, as you've not provided any references within the relevant field, I can't attain any of the shipment information I'm afraid.

If you can email this review and the tracking number to (reviews@dhl.com) I will be more than happy to investigate this situation further for you.

Kind regards,

Amrick

Arrived within the two hour time slot and the driver was very pleasant and helpful and offered to put the item wherever I wanted it as it was very heavy.
It's a pleasant surprise to have such a helpful driver not in a rush

I am extremely disappointed DHL service

I am extremely disappointed and concerned with DHL’s service. This parcel was strictly addressed to my office location, and my employer does not even have my personal address on file. Yet, DHL has inexplicably redirected it to my private residential address.Last month, I used the one-off redirect service just once to have a parcel sent to my home because our office was undergoing renovation. DHL's backend system/AI tool has now covertly linked my private phone number and home address to my company profile. As a result, DHL is now automatically hijacking and redirecting all my overseas business deliveries to my home without my consent.My personal contact details and residential address should never be stored or used by DHL for unauthorized business profiling. This is a severe breach of data privacy. DHL must immediately clear this unauthorized automatic linking from their backend system and deliver my packages strictly to the address printed on the waybill.

Dear Kaisy,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I'm incredibly sorry for the confusion and complications which have arisen throughout this process. I can fully understand your concerns with this matter, especially as you hadn't opted for this shipment to be redirected to your home address.

So the matter can be investigated further, please email this review, the tracking number, and the delivery address to (reviews@dhl.com) and I will be more than happy to assist you further.

Really sorry again that we've not met your expectations thus far in the process.

Kind regards,

Amrick
