Incredibly bad

Incredibly bad. Extremely slow, lousy international deliveries, almoost unexisting call-in-support, expensive and no easy-to use what so ever. Don´t use DHL if you want a good and reliable freight

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, even though I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience. I understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with slow deliveries, limited support and a service that didn’t meet your expectations.

This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We really appreciate the opportunity to look into what went wrong. I’ll send you a separate message and hope you’ll be willing to get back to us with the shipment number and your contact details.

Your feedback is important to us and we take it seriously as we work to improve!

Kind regards,
Elin, DHL Freight

SMASHED package with half of the order…

SMASHED package with half of the order missing....
Got a package delivered yesterday that looked like it had been run over by a car, kicked as a football through a field goal and then stomped on (Imagine Ace Ventura, Pet Detective-style when he delivers a package in the beginning of the first film, THAT is how the package looked, if not worse), then someone had tried to "mend it" with slopping some pathetic DHL-package tape on it "like I wouldn't notice". No note of "sorry" or anything, it just got delivered anyway. DHL - Don't Hold Liable indeed. It was half opened and half of my order was missing, along with the order reciept...... -5/5.

Use another delivery service

Used DHL for a package. Arranged it to be sent to one service point and then received an email it had been delivered to another - fine. Went to the service point and they had not received my package. Had to go back to the original service point where it was waiting.

Terrible service

Absolutely horrendous service in Sweden. I ordered a product from Apple. It specifically mentions that it’s Express Home Delivery. This guy is supposed to deliver the package home but instead doesn’t even make an attempt and directly sends it to the service point.

I was home the whole day waiting for the delivery. If he had difficulty entering the door, all he had to do was make a 10 second phone call and I would be there to pick up the package. Instead he sends it to the service point.

I called the customer service and they take no responsibility for this. No apology for the inconvenience just tell me that “ He has one story and I have another story”. Absolutely no care about their customers. They said he left a note at my door but there was no note.

DHL and UPS do this every time I have a package they should deliver to my door step. PostNord does this sometimes but not always.

I feel the absolute best delivery service in Sweden has to be Airmee. They always deliver to the door step and if they can’t reach me they will always call.

Customer Service is really bad

Customer Service is really bad. Sometimes impossible to get it to the right location even when you have specified the delivery address. Info on their website isn't correct. Their Notification system doesn't work.

WE ALL DO NOT HAVE BANKIDs IN SWEDEN

It was a good experience because when I complained that I didn't have a BankID to enable me pick it from IBOXEN to was rerouted to a Tempo were I was able to get it with my freja ID. Take away lesson, don't assume everyone in Sweden has a, BankID, for they may still be in the process of securing one. Regards

DHL should stop using places of deposit…

DHL should stop using places of deposit (= profit maximisation) and delivcer at the home address, which it appears that DHL will do when ordering an item. However DHL never ever delivers at the home address; one is forced to spend an hour or two driving to the "ombud" Contact with DHL is nearly impossible, and always via a machine, which always fails to understand the issue. Have a human answering instead. In the case of foods which has to be kept cold time does not allow for emails and telephone conteact is very difficult in heavily broken English. Postnord, Early Bird, Bring et c, are fine; DHL is a pestilence.

Dear Niels,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
I’m truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've had with DHL’s delivery service. I completely understand how frustrating it must be to expect home delivery and instead have to spend time and effort collecting your parcel elsewhere. This is of course not something we want our customers to experience.

We take your feedback seriously and it helps us in our efforts to improve. I would therefore appreciate if you could provide us with more information so that we can look into what happened.

I will send you a separate message and hope you can get back to us with the shipment number and your contact details.

Disrespectful and insulting behaviour

As corporate customer I extremely insulted with acting of some DHL employee on customer service in Göteborg Hisingen. This is second time that I needed redirect package and when I called customer service and waiting of 45 minutes in que female person on other side, after I ask and even select that I need English language support, she just hang up phone and I need to waist my time on phone again. It is unacceptable for that kind of service that I'm paying

Dear Mario,

Thank you for reaching out to us and expressing your concerns. I sincerely apologize for the behavior you experienced during the contact with us. I understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for 45 minutes only to have your call disconnected, especially after requesting support in English. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I can only imagine how disappointing this has been for you as a valued corporate customer.

Please know that your feedback is important to us and we take it seriously. I would therefore like to have more information from you so that I can take a closer look at what happened. I will send you a separate message and hope you can get back to me with the tracking number and your contact details.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. It helps us in our improvement efforts.

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

100% Fail

I have had multiple experiences both sending and receiving through DHL, and without fail they have failed on both sending and delivering 100% of the time. With bad n untrue excuses too- this time because the delivery box was ”full”…. Not sure how that is even possible since it is .. a box for delivery/ pick up…. I am now at a point where I avoid any business that uses DHL. Are you a business owner looking to sell products online? Avoid DHL at all costs.

Estimated delivery 1-3days… yeah your never seeing your package

Said estimated delivery 1-3buisness days, took 3 buisness days to get the tracking information and that they just sent it, and after that i didn’t receive it for 3days in a row when it said it was estimated to arrive that day all those 3days. Horrible service avoiding them at all cost ( maybe not if its 10$+ more ) but every other time i will boycott DHL!!!

EDIT NR:1 ( It is taking 3x longer then promised you guys really don´t care about your customers, or customer service aswell, trying to contact you guys is close to impossible, AND RESPOND TO MY EMAIL PLEASE )

EDIT NR:2 (shipping from same country btw )

EDIT NR:3 ( Still haven´t recieved it, HONESTLY WHAT are you guys DOING, the people working for you guys deserve minimum wage AT MOST, you guys make postnord look like legends when compared to you. ) ( You haven´t responded to my email yet )

EDIT NR:4 ( I AM CHOOSING WHATEVER COMPANY I CAN TO AVOID YOU, EVEN IF IT MEANS PAYING 100$ MORE SINCE THAT IS LESS THEN I AM LOSING BY NOT RECIVING MY PACKAGE ANYWAYS )
