Paid £50 for delivery of an iPad pro, not including insurance, pickup driver failed to give tracking number/waybill and put delivery address on parcel, left it in the back of his van over the weekend. Made a formal complaint about the driver. Phoned up to rectify this, told they would sort this and deliver the next day, and this is an important parcel so I didn't leave the house all day. Didn't come. Phoned up again and they finally announced they had lost it. at least i had it insured. 0/10 would never use again.

Pricing for the service offering was good and experience at origin from drop-off at the service point to initial tracking and updates was good. Once the package arrived at destination it began to struggle. The package arrived on Tuesday and was on hold by 12:32 (local). It then spent the whole of Wednesday on hold before contact with the delivery point was made on Thursday to resolve additional information required for the delivery. The shipment then failed to deliver again on Friday and sat in the local hub over the weekend. The delivery was finally made on the Monday. This brought the lead time to just short of 7 days which for courier is a lot. I have had good experiences with the DHL Express service before so I do believe that issues are in relation to rural locations or non-standard delivery points where the final mile can be more challenging. I have also heard of similar story's from other service users. As the rest of DHL Express' service is generally good I hope that more investment is made into "acting local" when it comes to delivery to reduce failure rates, negative satisfaction ratings and wasted resources.

Need to dispose of something incriminating? Send it with DHL, it works every time!

Three different ID numbers for the same order, and a trail which went cold three days before they informed the sender that it was at a "parcel collection shop", which it wasn't. Attempts to contact by phone unsuccessful due, predictably, to "high call volumes". Not sure exactly what DHL do, but I don't think parcel delivery comes into it. On the other hand, if you really want to wind someone up.......

Needed to get a parcel from UK to France urgently, after speaking to DHL on the telephone I was directed to Rymans in Bromley High Street to process my parcel. From start to finish I experienced an extremely helpful and prompt service. The parcel was received within 21 hours, excellent service.

My books, which I urgently need got stuck at the custom!!! I was sent an email about how I need to fill in tons of paper work, and pay lots of additional custom taxes, or I will get a fine!!!! I'm shaking with anger, and I cannot believe the horrible situation they got me into.

I paid for priority shipment because this is supposed be used for a Wedding. This delay equates normal delivery. I will not be using DHL again and not recommending for anyone who needs urgent service. Not reliable
