Hugely disappointing. Avoid at all costs! Use a real delivery courier instead! No contact, no delivery attempt, claimed the address is not valid (despite many prior deliveries by other couriers). Aft... See more

Good delivery company
Good delivery company.
I don't want to say DHL is the best. I had one or two issues over the last 6 years, and all of them were solved successfully.
The worst Customer Support ever
The worst Customer Support ever. They don’t help, don’t listen, hang up calls when you’ve been waiting in line for ages. Impossible.
The most lazy delivery service
They are the most lazy delivery service I’ve ever experienced, every single time an order is delivered by them there’s an issue and half of the time they can’t even be asked to deliver it. If you can’t provide an adequate service then don’t idk why anyone would still use DHL as a courier they are absolutely rubbish.
They Will Not Bother To Even Try
Twice i had a package this week, twice this week they did not ring the doorbell. Tracker said the truck was outside on my street. Absolutely unacceptable and garbage delivery system. Please avoid yourself the trouble and never use DHL as delivery for good if possible.
Abysmal Service - Avoid!
Delivered part of an order on 22 Nov. Remaining order apparently on a van - promised Monday, then Tuesday then Wednesday (26th). It's now 5.45 pm and there's no sign of it.
Another order (placed same date) has apparently been lost in the warehouse. They've no idea where it is.
I'd give zero stars if that was an option.
The worst of all
The worst of all , they send me a pickup notification , I went to the branch and the package wasn’t there , I went today as well it is still not there and probably won’t be there tomorrow! So yes they’re the worst.
DHL is good just only for Temu deliveries. Stay away for value items.
I dropped off an insured DHL parcel at DHL partner Cigars and Liquor Shop, who are collecting packages on behalf of DHL. According to the tracking information, the parcel has been stuck in "Drop-off at branch" status for 2 months without any further processing.
When I inquired in person, the staff were unable to provide any information and were completely unhelpful.
Overall, the process is unreliable, and the customer service is inadequate. DHL never attempt to compensate my losses, referring to their Terms and conditions which are ridiculous. An insured package should have a lower as the insured value, even if is used, damaged, old or whatever was inside. It is always a reason not to pay the customers.
Why give a time slot and have a door bell if you ignore both.
Given an hour time slot and a code to give driver,
So then, an hour before the start I get a shower, they then turn up 45 mins early that the hour window start and also just knock, when the door bell is right next to their hand.
So, now I have to change all my plans for tomorrow to have it delivered tomorrow instead. What's the point of giving me the hour window if you don't use it, and your site says I should get a text or something to say they're so many drops away, got zero.
The worst company ever they muss put…
The worst company ever they muss put them for the justice department. For no respect for customers. Again to late 3 days its a Desaster. And the stupid management is not willing to change anything. There a so f. arrogant it’s incredible.
The courier was supposed to deliver my…
The courier was supposed to deliver my package today. I saw that he was near my location, he had one more package to deliver, and then he was supposed to come to me. At that moment I had just woken up. I quickly got up, got ready, got dressed so the courier wouldn’t have to wait for me. But when I finished and checked the status, I saw that the courier had taken my package to the Packstation, saying that he couldn’t deliver it. But I didn’t receive any call, nothing — not to my phone, not to my door, nothing at all. He didn’t even try to come to me.
Missed Packages
I recieved an email saying my Paket is on the way you will get a call when it gets there, Whoever had it never calls or informs or even ring the doorbell everytime i have to follow my Packets up to the Filliale, it is really bad. trying to call to tell them to come back is a whole other long process, i am not pleased by the whole waiting for 3 seconds downstairs and then driving of, its disappointingto see your Paket drive off on your way downstairs .
Again DHL
Again DHL
I saw the delivery man ran to my postbox with the letter “you were not home…we tried…”. BS. I was home and now I need to wait for Monday opening of the posthouse.
Always unreliable.
Use Amazon a lot, but always something when DHL is responsible for delivery.
Abominable customer communications
In September I ordered an item from a Belgian company, the price for which explicitly included customs duty. DHL were the delivery company and alerted me more than once about the incoming parcel. They gave me the opportunity to avoid the need for a signature on receipt, but I ignored this offer. However on delivery no signature was requested and the parcel was simply handed over. A week later DHL invoiced me for unpaid customs duty and despite seeing evidence that my order included customs duty they have pursued me for payment. At no time prior to or at the point of delivery did they alert me that any kind of payment was required. Later contact with them was utterly farcical when they left a voicemail asking me to call them. They left the wrong number; then I was given a second incorrect number; followed by a third call which DHL inadvertently cut off and finally I got through to the correct team, only to learn that they had called me in error, believing I was the Belgian seller. They continue to pursue me for payment. This is a company to avoid if you possibly can.
Awful services!
If I had the option of zero star
If I had the option of zero star, I would give that. The company sucks from start to finish. Of all the delivery services in Germany, they seem unable to ring the doorbell (can be heard in the entire home) or leave the package per the instructions. They are capable, however, to drop the notification through the letterbox, which is right next to the doorbell, to let me know that I now have the pleasure to pick up the package after 6 PM at some gas station.
I am pissed enough to stop buying anything that gets delivery through DHL. Sadly, that also applies to their AI and their customer service; it's abominable.
Worst delivery experience I’ve ever…
Worst delivery experience I’ve ever had. 3 of 5 delivery’s in a week had issues. All used same delivery address. One it didn’t allow me to enter my post code to allow delivery to the door or to charcoal what oackstation it is on. The other 2 from 2 different places they decided to return to sender after 1 delivery attempt. No way to contact a human all just robots
