      Tracking Number: ********** My package was supposed to be delivered Jan. 18. The driver did not attempt to deliver the package. I watched from my window as the driver got out of his car, looked around, and drove off. Then I received a message after the driver drove off saying no one was home to deliver the package when the driver did not attempt to deliver the package to begin with. Then my package was supposed to be delivered Jan. 19. I selected signature release so the driver could drop the package off if I wasnt home. Ive been home all day and I get another email from the driver saying that I wasnt home to receive the package even though I selected signature release. My package should have been dropped off. This is not acceptable. DHL drivers arent even attempting to deliver packages as they should. Now I have to wait until Monday Jan. 22 for my package to be delivered. Im skeptical if it will even be delivered after this fiasco with the driver not attempting to deliver.

      I shipped a package to my friend in ******. Originally on the phone, based on the exact measurements and weight (I had this all previously measured and weighed) that the price would be about 170$ via the customer ********************** representative on the phone. When I went to drop off the package, the total ended up exceeding the original quote, even though nothing had changed about the package. This was including the 40% "discount" they were offering for the holidays. They promised me an arrival date of 3 days, and it took closer to 3 weeks. When I attempted to address the issue with customer **********************, I was given a very unprofessional and rude email in response; Customer ********************** representative decided to close my trouble ticket without addressing the problem or providing a sufficient solution. There were multiple delays caused by DHL by them not transmitting the necessary information to the receiving DHL office. When my friend went to pick up the package from the DHL office, he was extorted additional funds to release the package, even though the package had already been paid for.

      I am writing to report an issue with a recent delivery with DHL. The package was supposed to be delivered by DHL w/ signature on Wednesday, Jan 3rd, but it never arrived and I did not sign for its delivery. The signature confirmation is a straight line I have attached several video recordings as evidence of the incident. Additionally, I have recorded other videos before and after the incident on the same date. Please find the links to the videos below: DHL Arriving Video: *********************************************************** DHL Departing Video: *********************************************************** Other Videos Recorded ************** on the Same Date:*********************************************************** Video demonstrating what occurs when the doorbell is rung.*********************************************************** I have requested that DHL investigate this matter and let me know what actions can be taken to resolve this issue. I was advised that they do not have the package in their possession and there is nothing that can be done to resolve the issue.I asked them as part of their investigation could they have the driver come back out, maybe then visually he would recall where the package was delivered . The DHL rep declined the request.I asked them if they checked to determine if this driver has a high instance where the signature is a straight line, but ******* also declined. ******* stated that they don't have my package and there was nothing that they could do.******* suggested that I contact the shipper, which makes no sense since the shipper is not where issue occurred. There has been no accountability from DHL to thoroughly investigate the matter and arrive at an amicable resolution.

      DHL say they delivered the package to me but I never received it. Then I called DHL support. DHL customer ********************** Tailisa emailed me back after a very long investigation saying that a security guard named ******************************* signed the package. I called the building and never found who that person was. DHL COURIER NEVER CALLED ME. They just give my package to a stranger. My package worths $3k dollars. I called my vendor and they agreed to ship a new package for me. I called DHL several times to confirm it will be delivered to my address and I will be the only one to sign the package. Same thing happened to me. DHL never called me. The courier delivered to another security guard named *******************. None of the packages delivered to me !DHL has no right to give my value to someone else. I called **************************************************** but they never did.

      On January 3, ****, I went to the DHL Express in ********, ******, to ship compression socks and arthritis/inflammation vitamins to my uncle in *********, ********. When I was in the process of shipping, the DHL employee shared I could not send the vitamins I bought because the *** did not approve them, and ******** would not accept such an item. I complied, removed the vitamins, and only proceeded with the compression socks, ******************** shoe inserts, and compress knee brace - all these items the DHL employee confirmed I could send. Then she also confirmed that the DHL pick-up office was available in *********, ********, and therefore, my uncle could be notified about the package, and he would pick it up from the location instead of having it delivered to his home. I agreed and sent the package to the Medhin Building Ground Floor, DHL Express Pick-up, *********, ********. I was asked for a payment of $282.02, and I asked for insurance on the package for a value of $150.00. I paid a total of $282.02 to *************** the package. I received notice that the package had cleared customs in ***********, ********, on January 7, **** (see attachment). On January 9, ****, I received a call from my uncle that the DHL in *********** and the ********* customs require my passport (the sender's) to deliver the package to him in *********. DHL US never communicated providing my passport would be a requirement before they could send it to ********* for final delivery. DHL US only shared that my uncle would need proper identification to receive and release the package when it arrived in *********. Furthermore, DHL ******** told me that providing your sender's passport at customs has been required for a year and a half. Therefore, DHL US is responsible for knowing and disclosing customer information before sending packages and paying for services. I have tried multiple times to call DHL US to resolve this issue and have been unsuccessful. I am seeking a full refund and insurance.

      Date: 01/25/2024

      Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the response from DHL ******** regarding the shipment to ********. I reject their explanation due to several critical issues:
      Lack of Upfront Disclosure: DHL ******** failed to disclose essential requirements for shipping to ********. Specifically, they did not inform me that the receiver needed to present the sender's passport before delivery, a requirement enforced by ******** for the past year and a half. 1Misrepresentation of Information: DHL ******** and DHL ******** did not communicate that the receiver had to pay taxes and duties in *********** before proceeding to *********. This crucial information was not disclosed upfront, leading to complications as the receiver does not reside in ***********. False Claims of Non-Compliance: DHL ******** falsely asserted that the receiver was not providing necessary documents for customs entry. In reality, the receiver has not even received the package, contradicting DHL's claims. Inconsistent Customs Status: The package's customs status changed abruptly without reason on January 10, ****, after initially passing customs on January 7 and January 9, ****. This inconsistency raises concerns about the handling of the shipment. I have paid approximately $300 for DHL services, and I feel misled about their capabilities. Additionally, the tracking information for my package is now unavailable, leading me to believe the package may be lost. I request DHL to return the package and refund the total amount spent on shipping. I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. If additional information is required, please let me know. Thank you for your time and attention. Kind regards,******

      I placed an order that was shipped through DHL. My package made its way from Africa to **********, ** in the matter of days, which is fantastic. Then it stopped moving. It has been sitting on hold in ********** for over 3 weeks now. I've tried contacting them and get vague answers about how it's delayed due to the holidays (that were now 3 weeks ago!) The people I talk to will schedule it to be delivered that day or the next day but it never comes. If there is a problem with the shipment, they aren't giving me any information to resolve it. I've asked for a phone number to call to actually talk to someone and never get a response. I've asked for an address to go pick it up myself and never get an answer. I need this package soon or it will be too late.Shipment date: 12/19/2023 Arrived in **********, **: 12/23/2023 Tracking number: ********** The DHL location that I selected may be the wrong one. I wasn't sure which one to choose.

Adems, se ha solicitado una suma exorbitante de dinero en Pesos ** para la liberacin del paquete. Todos los pagos necesarios, incluyendo los costos de envo asociadas, se liquidaron en el momento del envo, con recibos y comprobantes de pago disponibles.

Adjunto capturas de pantalla de estas conversaciones por correo electrnico como evidencia de las demandas injustas y las posibles actividades fraudulentas. A pesar de los esfuerzos por resolver el problema, el paquete sigue sin entregarse, causando frustracin y preocupacin. Solicito en este asunto para asegurar una resolucin de entrega. Las acciones de CODEX y las demoras causadas por DHL Express son inaceptable. Espero contar con su ayuda para llevar este problema a una conclusin satisfactoria. Gracias por su tiempo y consideracin.

      Item was delivered on front porch without authorized signature which was required. My surveillance security system shows that the driver placed the package on the porch and drove off. Shortly afterwards the item was stolen off the front porch. I immediately contacted the carrier DHL about the incident. I was informed that package was signed for and delivered. At no time was there anyone home to open the door to sign for the package which is a requirement. DHL has since informed that the driver was at fault and that case would be closed. Please assist me with this matter. The Waybill# is ********** .

      On January 8th **** DHL was supposed to deliver my package the tracking number is *********** . I waited all day long for my package, DHL never delivered my package and never contacted me! I called DHL but the automated operator would not connect me with a human being so I went online and I tried to rescheduled the delivery but DHL website would not let me, so I emailed them and they sent me a message saying that they were going to deliver my package on January 9th ****! I waited all day long but they did not deliver my package so I called DHL and talked to a human being named ******** and she guaranteed me that they were going to deliver my package on January 10th **** but again DHL did not deliver my package nd they did not contact me ! I also want to state that ******** is a supervisor at DHL and she was quite short and rude with me and didn't really want to help me and the information she gave me was false and incorrect ! I have talked to at least four different DHL employees who keep telling me I'm going to get my package on a certain day but it's never delivered ! The last supervisor I talked to was named ****** and she said DHL was going to investigate why my package has not been delivered yet and she promised me that they were going to call me back within 90 minutes and that happened on January 10th but nobody called me back she also promised me they were going to email me, but nobody emailed me!! It appears that DHL has a lot of incompetent employees but that's not my fault and I want them to send me my package !!!!! To this day I still don't know why they wasted 3 days of my life sitting around waiting waiting for a package that never arrived and I still don't know to this day why they have not sent me my package !

       At this point and time I still haven't received my package !!!

      I have been trying to receive a package from DHL since January 8th **** !

      On January 5th **** I went to dhl's website and scheduled for my package to be delivered to my home on January 8th.  I stayed home all day long waiting from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and DHL never  attempted to deliver my package !!! I went to dhl's website to reschedule a delivery and I was informed that I could not reschedule a delivery because my delivery attempts had been exceeded!!! I received an email message from DHL claiming that they would deliver my package on January 9th ****... on January 9th DHL did not deliver my package and I didn't hear anything from them ! On January 10th I started calling DHL, from January 10th all the way up to January 12th , I have called and talked to at least 10 employees trying to find out what's going on with my package! On 1/10/24 I talked to ***,*****,Lacursha. On January 11th I talked to *****, ****** ,****** ,******** and I talked to ***** twice !!! On January 12th I talked to *****, ****** and ******** !! Between your employees and your website my package has been scheduled to be delivered on five different days and I still haven't received my package to this day, and not one time has DHL knocked on my door, ring my doorbell or attempted to deliver my package !! I have had constant contact with the shipper of the package and they said they want me to receive the package ,they said they have contacted DHL numerous times and the DHL employees keep acting like they don't know what's going on !! DHL do you guys have at least one employee that knows what they're doing that can help me receive my package ????????????? I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES IS ATTEMPTING TO KEEP/STEAL MY PACKAGE AND SEVERAL OF DHL EMPLOYEES ARE IN ON THE IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I paid over ****** dollars to ship an envelope to Mxico from my residence and they tried charging the recipient what they called duty taxes. What made matters worse was that they did not make it easy for me to pay this excess charge. I called customer *********************** and was transferred around several places l. I finally was forced to work with DHL Mxico who told me the recipient had to pay it. No resolution was provided to me. And my package is being held by DHL Mxico.

      DHL appreciates being given the opportunity to research and address our customers concerns.

      We sincerely apologize for the frustrations our customer encountered regarding the shipping experience with DHL Waybill 8263083592.

      Our records indicate that the above-referenced shipment was sent on January 5, **** from the ** to ****** with an estimated delivery date of January 9, **** to you here in the ****  The shipment arrived in ****** on January 4, **** and was stopped for Customs processing due to the contents of the shipment. 

      After review, Customs in ****** assessed duties and taxes of $4647.67MXN. A duty is a tax imposed on imports by a countrys customs authority.  It is generally based on value, weight,quantity or a combination of value, use and consumption of goods. It is standard operating procedure in Express Shipping that the receiver pays the duties and taxes levied on a shipment.

      As the duty charges were not paid, the shipment was unable to clear customs and will return to the sender under AWB 1850277940.

      We would like to take this opportunity to explain that while DHL enjoys the benefits of good relations with Customs & State Border authorities around the world, we are unable to directly influence or intercede with any decisions they may make regarding assessed values, clearance times, or procedures.

      Once again DHL would like to apologize for any inconvenience.
