Greetings *****,
We have reviewed the tracking information and researched the shipment details which indicates the package has experienced a service delay. However, the available information does not provide any insight into the specific reason for the delay. Either website DHL or **** will not receive any further updated tracking information until the package reaches its next destination for additional scans. Since the package has not received any tracking scans or updates from ****, we are not able to obtain any additional information. There are times when an individual package may be delayed during processing and transit and there is no clearly identifiable explanation. This appears to be one of those cases.
Due to the time frame lapse and no event scans, we recommend contacting the seller/merchant for further assistance. They can take any necessary steps or options to file a claim with us per our contractual agreement. Sorry for any inconvenience experienced.

DHL is a shipping carrier. It seems to be a black hole for packages. Ive had to contact businesses for replacement packages with upgraded shipping just to bypass this place in hopes of receiving my goods that I purchase. I dont know what happens to the original packages because I never see them. This has happened on numerous occasions. DHL claims in the shipping details of my package to allow 1-3 business days for updates on packages within the US. Im on day 6 of waiting for my current package. I am attaching the current shipping details of my package from today 01-26-2024.Business Response

Greetings ********,
Thank you for contacting DHL eCommerce Solutions. After research, tracking results are reflecting a successful delivery by **** (Delivered, In/At Mailbox, ****, ** 55051, January 27, ****, 4:46 pm).
This package may have experienced a service/transit delay. Per **** it appeared the package had "visible damage". They will determine if a package proceeds to delivery or not, as they usually do not deliver damaged packages. Please note: Ground shipments generally deliver 3 to 8 business days from the received date. The package was processed on 1/18/24 with an expected delivery of 1/27/24. The actual TAT (Turn-Around-Time) may be extended if a Sunday or postal holiday falls within the estimated delivery period, or the package experiences a service/transit delay. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay.Sincerely,

I also have my camera footage from my home that day showing no one came. I have been going back and forth with this since December. My son didn't receive his Christmas gift and I'm out of my money as a single mother that's so unfair. I have done everything DHL and the merchant has required of me emails. affidavit and a police report and still no resolution. Since the package is showing my shoes are at the *** DHL location I had to take off work and went there in person Friday and the manager there stated that they are at fault, and I am *********** my refund, but the merchant has to put it through and not me. I emailed the merchant, and they said no they weren't doing it because DHL denied it previously. I have been given the runaround, false communication and lies through this whole process. I just want my money back or my shoes and I'll be satisfied. I really hope you can help me out this is very depressing and frustrating. I have all documentation, email communication and the calls where I have reached out several occasions. Anyone who orders shoes from GOAT know they take up to 2 weeks to deliver.

I made an order from Tile on 10 December. It was shipped and arrived at this business on 13 December with an estimated delivery date of 15 December. The item never moved again. There is no number to contact the place so I used the customer service chat option. I was told I had to reach out to the retailer after I told them my issue. Luckily, Tile is amazing and processed a refund, but I don't see how they should be held responsible when they shipped the item when they should have. Now Tile is out for the product that is sitting at this warehouse and out the money that they refunded me for the product. Meanwhile, the item is just sitting in GA... or has been stolen by an employee. I then looked at the ****** reviews and this is a major issue with this location. Everyone that has contacted them with the same issue was directed to contact the retailer. (I also left a ****** review.)Business Response

Greetings ******,
We are sorry to hear that you are having delivery issues. After reviewing the tracking information and researching the shipment details, it appears the package has experienced a service/transit delay. Scanning events show your item was in transit to **** for final mile delivery on 12/13/23. Unfortunately, updated scans have not been made available to determine the current status.
However, the tracking scans do not provide any insight into the specific reason for the delay. There are times when a single package is delayed during processing and transit and there is no clearly identifiable explanation for the delay. This appears to be one of those cases. We apologize that we do not have any other information available for the whereabouts of this package.
In these circumstances we recommend contacting the seller/merchant for further assistance. The seller can advise you as to the options available if you did not receive your package. They have the ability to take any necessary steps to file a claim with us per our contractual agreement. Sorry for any inconvenience experienced.

Hello ******,
This complaint was sent to *** Global Forwarding. We are the heavyweight, commercial division of ***. Your lost baggage was shipped with *** Parcel, which is a branch of the ****** postal service. Though we operate under the same corporate parent, we are different business entities.
I have asked BBB to redirect your complaint to *** Post. Usually, once a shipment is involved in customs clearance, there is nothing that the shipping company can do to affect a faster transaction. Since your baggage was lost in ******* and must reenter the commerce of *******, this is a necessary step, and I would keep in touch with the *** Parcel people to keep informed of its status.

Hello ********************,
As advised in my previous communication, your returned baggae is being handled by DHL Parcel. This complaint was sent to DHL Global Forwarding. I have asked that BBB refer this complaint to our colleagues at DHL Parcel for resolution.
I agree that once the package has delivered you should have a documented delivery. However, it seems that this package is still in customs. Once a package is in customs there is little that the carrier (DHL Parcel) can do to affect its clearance.
I have also forwarded this complaint to my colleagues at DHL Parcel for their immediate attention.
