Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. People highlight a mix of experiences concerning the services provided. Some consumers express satisfaction, particularly when interacting with staff members at specific locations, and appreciate the support received in time-sensitive situations. However, there is no widespread agreement regarding the quality of service, product, or staff. On the other hand, a significant number of consumers report issues with delivery, especially regarding incorrect locations and a lack of communication. Many reviewers mention that the location is not convenient. Some consumers express frustration with missed delivery dates, lack of updates, and packages being delivered to collection points far from their homes, even when home delivery was paid for.

The worst delivery service I've ever dealt with.
My package was supposed to be delivered to my home (or at least this is what I understood). But I was surprised that they already chose a pick up point without giving me the option to change it.
I don't care what they agreed with the supplier. I had to pick that heavy package and walk with it for about half a kilometer since I didn't have a car. And I lost my gloves while carrying the package.

Hello Hani,

Thank you for contacting us and sharing your experience.
We are very sorry that the delivery did not meet your expectations and that you had to pick up a heavy package without being able to change the delivery location.

We understand that the situation was both inconvenient and frustrating.
When a package is sent, it is the sender who chooses the delivery method, but we will of course take your feedback on board. We would like to look into your case more closely to see what happened and how we can avoid similar experiences in the future.
If possible, please get back to us with the tracking number and contact information, so that we can help you further and follow up on this internally.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact us—your feedback is important and helps us improve.

They "couldn't deliver" due to lack of time, and the person who was supposed to deliver my package happened to take care of it the next day so now it's gone and can't be found, I've called DHL for about 3 weeks and they can't do anything. WHAT ARE THEY DOING AT DHL? A bag worth over 600 SEK is gone and since they can't find the package they say it can't be sent back to the company that sent it, so I won't get my money back either. DHL gets the worst rating from me. What if it was even more expensive things I bought?

I sent a parcel with them 12/12-2025

I sent a parcel with them 12/12-2025. It contains 3000kr worth of material. The receiver could not pick it up. 2 weeks later I get info that it was picked up. I contact them they said no it was not picked up it will be returned I will get new info. 4 weeks later I contact them again they say they can not return it to me but to pick it up from warehouse they will tell me when. 2 weeks later I contact them again they say I have until this very day 18 o clock to come collect it immediately.

I ask for my rights of compensation, my right to just get my parcel returned like a normal situation, and not have to drive 45 minutes after work with my child from kindergarten to bring my package because I did the horrible mistake of sending with DHL for 130kr instead of PostNord for 250kr

I have been waiting for my delivery and following the status online. When no package showed up I called them to find out that the company for some mysterious reason changed the tracking number and the delivery will be delayed for 5 days. The package was sent from a nearby town and according to the customer service it is in my town but yet I can’t pick it up. When asked about how come I am not updated as a customer on the change and why one package is addressed two tracking numbers, I get no answers. I can’t really complain or get compensation according to company policy. They don’t hold themselves responsible for any inconvenience they cause the customer.

Got a SMS about a package that was ready for delivery and a link to verify myself electronically. But I never got an address on where I can go and get he packet. Neither in the SMS or on the link destination. - They. Might not know what they are doing!

I do not (neither should you) verify a packet electronically until I am at the delivery sight, or the packet with valuables will disappear and marked as delivered!! Someone else can simply pick up the packet, or someone at the postal office.

Exceptionally disappointed

Exceptionally disappointed!
Incompetent, user-unfriendly and clueless to say the least!
We ordered an item from abroad, they did the customs clearance without checking with us and taking our concent for the terms, and when a day later we decided that item was not suitable and we wanted to return it back they refused to do the refund of the taxes! We paid almost 900 aed for the taxes and these crooks said they are not in charge to do the outward clearance and tax refund!
Hello!? We shipped the item back to UK again by DHL to have full traceability and actually spent a lot more just to help YOU to do YOUR job! The tax authorities told us straight forward - we didn't get the taxes paid from you but from DHL, it must be them to get the refund.
But these clowns refuse to return our money back.
Extremely unhappy and would not recommend anyone to use their overpriced service!!

P.S. Ulrika, i cannot contact this number.
if you are really keen to assist here's the outward AWB 1338508625 - item left the UAE and taxes shall be refunded back to us, as per Tax Authorities this can only be done by the same person/company who did the inward clearance, who is DHL.
