Express option is not possible.

Express option is not possible.

I went to the DHL shop and the personnel pointed at a qr-code on a dhl poster on the wall advertising express delivery.

I opened the link and started registering my package (size large). I was very suprised to see that only the express option was offered and to the price of 599 SEK.

I had no other choice then than to accept the deal, pay the price and at least have the luxury of next day delivery from Sweden to Denmark.

But the next thing I heard was an update when the whole day had passed. Now the package had left the shop.

I cannot imagine that it came as a surprise to DHL, that the package would not leave the shop for many hours and that express day-after-delivery would simply never be possible. But I paid the price. And you sold an express product the didn't exist.

I would have preferred honesty and I would have preferred buying a product promising 3 to 5 days delivery.

I want a partial refund that reflects a realistic delivery time since express is not possible.

I will file a formal complaint with Almänna Reklamations Nämnden.

Delivery?

Did you order something you don't want? Then delivery with DHL is the best option! Things tend not to arrive with DHL! Unfortunately, that's happened to me quite a few times!

Unfortunately, I ordered something I did want. According to the manufacturer, delivery was guaranteed on Friday, December 5th! Then I got information from DHL that the package would arrive on Monday, December 8th, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. So, I was home all day. Then I got information that the package would arrive on Tuesday, December 9th. On Tuesday, I received an email saying I should book a delivery appointment or pick up the package, otherwise storage fees would apply.

Great service from DHL, just like you'd expect in Germany. Luckily, I can finally book a delivery appointment starting Wednesday, December 10th. It's just a shame that I have to be at the airport at 7 a.m. that Wednesday because my flight leaves at 10 a.m.

Congratulations, DHL.

Absolutely horribly handled by DHL

Absolutely horribly handled by DHL! I get an email saying they “didn’t have access to my door code” and that my package is now at a service point.

1. They could have just asked for the code.
2. They could have CALLED me on either the door phone or my mobile.

It’s like going to a house, seeing the door is locked, and then leaving without even ringing the doorbell.

Then I try calling customer service but just get bounced around their automated system. I download the app and try to register, which of course doesn’t work. I’ve never experienced such shitty service. My god. Never using DHL again.

The parcel was clearly marked to be…

The parcel was clearly marked to be collected at the "normal" pick- up location (500m away). Instead, when I opened DHL’s SMS, I was directed to a different location altogether, some distance away (1100m) and in the opposite direction. I had no indication the parcel had even been collected or dispatched, such was the poor communication from DHL.
In addition, the BankID was not available for login on the same phone to which was sent the SMS - DHL’s app told me there was a problem and to login from a different device (which wasn’t possible at the time).
Altogether a most frustrating experience with DHL’s service today.

DHL Sweden

Sweden, Thursday 27. I get a notification that my home delivery will arrive at a certain time. Great, I wait. Then all of a sudden I get another notification saying I wasn't at home and the driver couldn't not reach me.

I called DHL customer service and told them that nobody had made a delivery attempt at my address. The guy in customer service said they're sorry as he could see in the system that the driver had not been at my address at all, and that the driver went straight to a service point to drop of my package and lied about me not being at home.

He then promised me they're going to fix this and make a new delivery attempt later the same day, or the very latest at friday, the day after. I wait and no package arrives on thursday.

On friday I call DHL at noon and ask them where my package is. The woman in customer service says they have "missed" to load my package today and I will now have to wait over the weekend and earliest get it on the monday after.

So, first they lie about me not being at home. Then they fail in every way possible to make it right after.

Garbage company.

Edit: DHL responded and asked for my contact detalis and shipment number. I'm not sure how that's possible when you can't send them a message anywhere. But here is the shipment number: 9290946416.

But I highly doubt they'll respond and get back to me about my shipment. Their response here was most likely all for show.

Unprofessional and impolite service at DHL pickup point

I had a very unpleasant experience when collecting my package at a DHL service point. I couldn’t open my BankID to show the barcode, so I politely asked the staff member to enter the package number instead. He did it reluctantly, and when I started reading the number, he suddenly shouted at me to only give the last four digits.

I was shocked by his behavior and asked why he was so angry. As a representative of DHL, he should treat customers with respect and professionalism. If he cannot handle the job properly, it raises the question of why DHL trusts this shop to represent their brand. Overall, it was a bad experience that left me disappointed.

Kazakhstan service levels

My sister sent a present to me in Kazakhstan - the message came in russian and kazakh only ( english is also an official language here) we talked on phone and unfortunately the system could not process the document i enterred putting me into a doom loop.

Upshot it will cost me half a day sorting out, a return trip to airport all to pay around $10 tax...which should have been doable online if the system worked as intended.

Please review and improve your system. So many systems work well here that it is strange to find an international courier firm not meeting general levels of service.

Excellent experience from A to Z

I was in a rush to leave my place at 11 sharp for a month and had a parcel come with express guarantee by 12. I really needed the parcel so contacted DHL if at all possible to check with the courier to get the parcel to me before I leave. They were really helpful and sorted it out and I got it in time before I left! That made me really happy and supported by the whole DHL team to see they do their best even under the time sensitive situations. Thank you DHL team!

Stressful and confusing

I had a really stressful experience.
There was no information anywhere on my profile or the DHL website about tax or customs payment for my package. Then suddenly, I get a message on WhatsApp from a random suspicious account — not official, not verified, nothing.

They sent a shortened link and said I need to pay or my package will be returned in 2 days. It literally sounded like a threat.

And the weirdest part?
For such a massive company, there is zero warning or info saying they contact customers through WhatsApp. So of course I had to Google it, and surprise… a bunch of sites confirmed it’s a scam.

I spent way too long, stressed and kinda scared, trying to figure out what was real. This whole thing could have been avoided if customers were actually warned properly.

Not a great experience, and honestly DHL should do better here.

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.

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.
