It was totally excellent all the way. I gave 4 stars not 5 because, I know it's what some people expect but 2 or 3 notifications would be fine not 5 or 6 emails plus WhatsApp. Anyway, excellent to be... See more

DHL - Dreadful Hopeless Lazy
Yet again, a valuable parcel was carelessly dumped in a public area for anyone to take, when it was a signature only delivery. As ever DHL show their complete disregard for the companies who use them and for the customer who has spent a fortune on postage and customs charges only to have the item just carelessly left unattended. The driver could have taken the parcel away and delivered it on the next day which was the arranged delivery date I'd taken the day off work for. You have no mandate EVER to leave my parcels in unattended, insecure places where they can easily be stolen - but you do this every single time.
And no, I don't want your meaningless apology after the months of worry and stress DHL have caused me in the past when I have needed to go to my credit card company to sort the issue out because DHL are so snide and dishonest when their drivers get caught dumping parcels. Your method is to just leave the worried customer in a stressful never ending circular email loop being passed from department to department while you hedge, lie and avoid. I have been sickened by just how dreadfully you treat people when your drivers can't be bothered doing their job. YOUR low standards, YOUR fault, YOUR responsibility but it's the poor customer left with months of stress.
DHL are a horrible, irresponsible company and my heart sinks whenever you are the only delivery company available because I know just what is in store for me - hopeless incompetence. You've done it again today, yet again. A miracle this was recovered, only thanks to my postman who went out of his way to secure the parcel and leave a note telling me what had happened.

They don't stick to their delivery windows.
Had a couple of DHL deliveries recently. One was delivered within the time-slot stated by DHL,but the other was delivered more than half an hour before the delivery window - very fortunate that I got home earlier than expected!
If you're going to deliver early, at least let us know!

I am always pleased when I see a parcel is being delivered by DHL. They are reliable and provide detailed tracking information. The delivery drivers are always pleasant and efficient and take care when navigating into our narrow drive.
