Rip off

I ordered a parcel yesterday morning, 30th June and paid almost twice as much for next day delivery 1st July (today)
DHL just informed me they'll be delivering by end of day tomorrow (2ndJuly)
That's NOT next day delivery. I could've paid the lower price and received my parcel at the same time. Rip off.

Dear Lee,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I completely understand your frustration and disappointment, especially when you paid a higher price with the expectation of receiving your parcel the next day. I am sorry to hear that the delivery has not met your expectations.

To better understand what happened and investigate the reason for the delay, I need more information. I will send you a separate message via Trustpilot and I hope you will be willing to provide your shipment number and contact details so that I can look into this further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Best regards

Dear DHL and CS agent Emma,

Dear DHL and CS agent Emma,

Pls pls Emma read customs email first mine advise and then send them an template but one advise do your templates bit personolised. I understand reading can be difficult sometimes if not always but without reading and sending unpersonolised emails to your customers can make them even more angry. Ow maybe also handy advice if your customers reply to your email maybe you should reply to them handy advise in the future. If I could give a 0 I would what a ..
Hole company. Your drivers are clever but not clever enough when making a picture of damaged item what has been delivered what we ordered from Dunelm and he is clever to hand over the rug with damaged side on his side so we couldn't see it and before we noticed he was already gone but thank god he took a nice pic with the damage. Be careful people this is how DHL works these days. Ow pls don't come with bla bla take contact BS you can't even reply to me when I ask twice for where you can read emails.

It's been over 1 month

EDIT@Dem ringde upp & fixade så jag fick paketet nu, om än väldigt mörbultat+tejpat. Återkommer ikväll väl hemma om innehållet är intakt & komplett.

It's been over 1 month, and you still haven't delivered?
a week or 2 ago you sent the package to oskarshamn for a change, now its back in Eskilstuna again for over a week.
DHL is a scam company, have contacted them like 5 times through mail. Nothing has changed. Called as well & that was almost even less help. They just put in the order tracking id on the same page you can do & said idk:

Poor communication and customer service

I recently ordered a number of items from Dunelm, who have chosen to use three different delivery companies to send my parcels. This includes DHL who are notorious for not delivering parcels correctly and loosing stock. I have already spent a significant part of my day trying to contact DHL to request that my parcel be left in a safe location, as I work 7:30am - 5pm, but they have failed to read my emails properly and there is no phone number to call a actual person. Whenever I reply to their customer service emails the response is that their inbox is full....how convenient for them!

Dear Dr Levett,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear about the frustration and inconvenience you’ve gone through. I completely understand how upsetting this must be, especially when you’ve already spent so much time trying to get in touch and make arrangements around your working hours. I also sincerely apologise for the difficulties you’ve experienced when contacting the customer service. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

Your experience is important to us and I would therefore like to take a closer look at what may have caused this situation. I will send you a separate message via Trustpilot and would appreciate it if you could provide your shipment number and contact details.

I look forward to hearing from you with further information!

The QR-code is very poor

The deliverys has always been smooth. However, the web-page where the staff has to scan the QR-code is very poor. There is no excuse for it not being scanable in dark mode !
Please fix asap !

Rågsved branch

I've had bad experiences picking up packages at the Rågsved branch. The person who works there is always in a bad mood and very rude. It's actually a bit humiliating to go there and ask for something because they always do it in a bad way. I'll change my delivery option to another company.

Rude driver

Rude driver, unaccommodating, arrived a whole hour before the slotted time and demanded to be met in the entrance, not just buzzed up.

The delivery arrived on a pallet which apparently became our responsibility to dispose of. The driver threatened to withhold the package as hostage of we didn't accept the pallet as well so now we have to deal with that I guess.

The lowest level of service I've ever…

The lowest level of service I've ever experienced. The parcel (a small book) has been stuck at the terminal for 18 days so far..., even though the pickup point is 8 km away. No specific response to emails, and complaints ignored, even after calling the customer service center, full of promises that only sweep the problem under the rug. Avoid this supplier if there's any other option! I still haven't received my parcel. Zero responsibility and complete disregard for the private recipient.

Hi Maria,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry to hear that your package wasn't delivered as expected. I sincerely apologize for what happened. This is probably caused by an incorrect sorting in the terminal, which we are constantly working to prevent. In these cases we can look over the possibilities to move the package to correct Servicepoint if you contact us.

You are always welcome to contact our Customer Service so we can look into this further. You can reach us at 0771‑345 345, mon-fri 8–18. You can also chat with us at www.dhl.se/freight, where the chatfunction is down in the right corner.

8 days delayed so far ....

8 days delayed so far ! ( distance between dhl terminal and delivery point is 8 ( eight) km !!!
Despite my screenshot of terminal's promissed delivery 1-3 days , dhl claims , they have 30 days time .........
Deep disapoointment !!!!
👎👎👎I spoke with the agent by phone, I also received three or more emails and each explanation is different, DHL gets lost in the statements.
The agent promised to deliver that shipment tomorrow morning ( i needed it yesterday ), May 19, 2026. The conversation is recorded by DHL. I'll see what happens next and what dhl's next explanation will be like...
